Top 10 most famous actors of 2016

We are in the final days of 2016 and it is time to look back at the most impressive faces that have attracted the most public attention in the seventh art over the past 12 months.

This list is compiled by the famous movie data site IMDb from the number of visitors up to 250 million per month. In general, like every year, this ranking always faces a situation of "yin prevails, yang declines" when among the 10 most searched actors on this massive information library, there are only two male representatives.

It seems that favoritism for men only exists in film awards, issues of rights and remuneration. But when it comes to the general public, that is a different story.

Let's take a look back at the 10 most searched movie characters of the past year and find out who is the star leading this list:

10. Leonardo DiCaprio

Last on the list is the famous actor Leonardo DiCaprio. In the first half of 2016, he made history by winning his first Oscar after being rejected by the Academy five times. Leonardo’s victory was mentioned by the press for many months after that.

Half a year later, he emerged as an active environmental activist. The documentary on climate change Before the Flood, in which he played a character, was honored at the 2016 Hollywood Film Awards.

These are the main reasons why he is famous even though the actor did not have any notable film projects last year.

9. Haley Bennett

2016 was a breakthrough year for the hot actress Haley Bennett when she worked at full capacity in a variety of film genres such as science fiction with the work Hardcore Henry, western movie The Magnificent Seven, film adapted from the detective thriller The girl on the train, comedy Rules Don't Apply and action movie A Kind of Murder.

Although she only plays a supporting role, with her sharp beauty and hot body, Haley Bennett is always the center of attention in the movies she appears in. Perhaps most of the visits to her profile come from men.

8. Daisy Ridley

The popularity of the 7th part of the Star Wars blockbuster, The Force Awakens, has also made the name of the main actress Daisy Ridley (as the female warrior Rey) famous. At the end of December, the audience will have the opportunity to see Daisy Ridley again on the big screen with the 8th part of Star Wars.

Besides, in 2017, the beauty also attracted attention when she announced that she would join the film crew of Murder on the Orient Express, a work adapted from the detective novel of the same name by writer Agatha Christie.

7. Alicia Vikander

Giving up her dancing career to turn to acting, Alicia Vikander probably never dreamed that success would come to her so soon. At the age of 28, Alicia has brought home an Oscar and many other big and small trophies for Best Supporting Actress with the movie The Danish Girl.

Not only artistically successful, the films featuring this star also have significant revenue such as Jason Bourne co-starring with Matt Damon or The Light Between Oceans co-starring with Michael Fassbender.

6. Gal Gadot

After a lackluster career with small roles in Fast & Furious and Triple 9, Miss Israel Gal Gadot has gained a solid position in Hollywood for herself thanks to her excellent transformation into Wonder Woman, the strong woman of the DC Comics hero world.

Possessing hot curves and an extremely impressive beauty, Gal Gadot easily wins the hearts of men. Not only that, she is also loved by women because she always actively shows the image of a feminist activist.

5. Morena Baccarin

Besides, she also gained attention for her role as the beautiful girlfriend that the mutant Deadpool loves dearly in the superhero movie of the same name that caused a "storm" earlier this year.

4. Tom Hardy

The second and final man on the list is actor Tom Hardy. Although he doesn't have any outstanding film projects this year, the star still knows how to heat up his image by appearing on the small screen in season 5 of the Peaky Blinders series.

The following year, Tom Hardy made the public curious with another television project, Taboo, a work written by him and his respected father, screenwriter Chips Hardy.

Interestingly, while Tom Hardy was the only man to make the list last year, he dropped three places to fourth place this year.

3. Millie Bobby Brown

12-year-old child actress Millie Bobby Brown surprised everyone this year when she surpassed many big names to become the 3rd most popular star on IMDb. With her appearance in the main character of the series Stranger Things, the horror science fiction work entered the top 10 best TV shows of the year also voted by IMDb, helping this little girl's name to be noticed.

His small acting portfolio and private personal information are the reasons why many people want to learn more about this promising star.

2. Emilia Clarke

Game of Thrones' "Mother of Dragons" returns to number 2 this year on IMDb's list of Most Famous Stars.

This is understandable because the HBO brand Game of Thrones associated with Emilia Clarke has a certain position and popularity among fans. At the same time, her name also covered the big screen this year thanks to the romantic drama Me Before You.

1. Margot Robbie

2016 was a breakout year for Margot Robbie with two memorable roles as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad and Jane Clayton in The Legend of Tarzan. The Australian beauty perfectly transformed into two roles with very different characteristics, one gentle and elegant, the other rebellious and crazy.

Because of her deadly charm and her "ripe" acting talent, Margot Robbie is the most "sought after" name on IMDb this year.
