Share:
This year several Hollywood heartthrobs caught our eye, here are some of Metro’s biggest crushes of 2024. As the year comes to a close, we have reflected on some of the hotties who raised our pulses this year. With a huge number of new films and TV series came a host of fresh celebrity faces, with some of us developing crushes on some fantastic rising stars.

Others found themselves fancying some of their favourite new singers or reality TV stars – or noughties icons as they made a resurgence into the mainstream. Here are some of the famous faces we loved in 2024, and are keen to see more of in 2025…. When I sat down to watch Rivals earlier this year, I expected to fancy Aidan Turner’s character, mainly because I have been nursing a big fat crush on him since he appeared on screens in fingerless gloves as a vampire in BBC’s Being Human.

However, I was shocked when I finished the series and realised the character I was completely obsessed with was Danny Dyer’s character Freddie. I’ve never been an Eastenders watcher and my only real perception of Danny Dyer was that he was a blokey actor who probably wouldn’t be my cup of tea as a romantic lead – I was so incredibly wrong.

Without giving away too much, his character was incredibly charming in Rivals as a funny, kind, and sweet man who was in a difficult marriage, but beginning a romantic affair with a fellow unhappy Rutshire resident. His acting in this series was phenomenal and the portrayal of this wholesome romance changed my whole opinion of the ‘hard man’ actor.
