PIX: The Ten Most Popular Actors in Hollywood
Black Swan stunner Natalie Portman has emerged as the celebrity with most page views on Internet Movie Database (IMDb), dethroning perennial chart-topper Johnny Depp.
The Academy Award-winning actress has had quite a year -- she gave birth to a baby boy, won an Oscar for Black Swan and had three releases (No Strings Attached, Your Highness and Thor).
With so much going on around her, Portman attracted the most page views on the website.
Check out who else made it to the list!
2. Mila Kunis
Portman's gorgeous Black Swan costar Mila Kunis, who's being hailed as the star of tomorrow along with contemporary Emma Stone, was the second most popular celebrity on the website.
Besides being impossibly good looking, the 28-year-old hottie has an interesting body of work to her credit -- she's Meg Griffin's voice on Seth McFarlane's animated sitcom Family Guy, played love interest to Jason Segal's jilted character in the irreverant Forgetting Sarah Marshall and was recently seen in Friends With Benefits with Justin Timberlake.
3. Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp, who has topped the annual rankings for six of the past seven years, slipped to the third spot on the list.
The actor's latest film The Rum Diary that released in October, was among favourites at film festivals all around the world.
4. Emma Stone
One of the hottest emerging actresses at present, Emma Stone floored fans with her portrayal of wisecracking teen in comedy film Easy A.
A red hot bikini for a magazine cover really sealed the deal for her admirers.
Starting out with indie projects like Superbad and Zombieland, the youngster today finds herself catapulted in the big league -- she appeared in two highly acclaimed films this year -- The Help and Crazy Stupid Love and is set to star opposite Hollywood's golden boy James Franco in Spiderman reboot Amazing Spiderman.
5. Chris Hemsworth
The hunky Australian Chris Hemsworth put his buff body to good use as he played Thor this year and is set to reprise his role in multi-superhero flick The Avengers in 2012 and Thor's sequel in 2013.
6. Olivia Wilde
Originally named Olivia Jane Cockburn, Olivia Wilde derives her screen surname from noted Irish author Oscar Wilde and comes from an immensely well-connected family of journalists.
She rose to fame with her portrayal of Dr Remy Headley on hit medical drama House acting along side Hugh Laurie.
Known for her glamorous looks and acting chops, the actress was seen in Daniel Craig-starrer Cowboys & Aliens earlier this year.
7. Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence became the second youngest actress to recieve an Oscar nomination when she recieved a nod for her film Winter's Bone at the age of 20.
Considered her breakout role, Winter's Bone recieved critical acclaim from all across the world and even won the best film award at Sundance last year.
8. George Clooney
It wouldn't be exagerating to say that George Clooney is at his artistic peak.
While his directorial venture The Ides Of March was lapped up at Cannes and Venice International film festivals, The Descendants, a comedy-drama starring the actor was a huge hit too.
Also, both the films and the actor have been nominated for several Golden Globes this year.
9. Ryan Gosling
Ryan Gosling could be the hottest feminist to come out of Hollywood.
The 31-year-old actor is in the running for best actor awards this year, thanks to his two super successful films -- Drive and The Ides Of March.
10. Christian Bale
Christian Bale may be preparing to hang up his Batman suit after The Dark Knight Rises releases.
But the actor has enjoyed quite a fan following all these years.
