With his chiselled cheekbones, striking eyes and towering physique, it's no wonder fans are swooning over Aaron Pierre - but it's his deep velvety tones that have secured the 30-year-old as Hollywood's new favourite heartthrob. The star of Mufasa who hails from West Croydon, south London, has myriad acting titles under his belt. But his role as the voiceover of Simba's father, King of the pride Mufasa in the Disney movie has put all eyes on Pierre - despite the fact viewers can only hear his voice.

Teamed with his striking good looks, Pierre's voice has left the internet mesmerised - with many people surprised they've never heard of this well-established actor before. Indeed, Pierre, of Jamaican, Curacao and Sierra Leonean heritage, is an experienced thespian, who has appeared on stage in Shakespeare's Othello at the Globe theatre in London as well as earning several film and TV credits.

But it's Mufasa that has turned Pierre's fortunes around as fans appear to be melting over his dulcet tones during press junkets for the Disney film. Taking to social media platforms including TikTok and X/Twitter, people claim they have been 'hypnotised' by Pierre's words and 'seductive' tone.

Growing up on a council estate in Croydon, The Lion King was Pierre's favourite film. But at the time, he could never have imagined he'd become the standout star of its origin story in decades to come. It wasn't until his teenage years that Pierre became involved in acting after taking a role as a narrator in a school production of Moby Dick. Until this time, he'd had ambitions of becoming a Team GB sprinter thanks to his lean frame and impressive agility.
