It seems that DAVID Beckham and Brad Pitt have had their allure diminished by vampires.
The attractive pair has fallen significantly down the list of the world’s 50 sexiest men, making way for newer contenders.
According to the recent list from Glamour magazine, Beckham, aged 35, now finds himself in a less desirable 21st position, while the 46-year-old film star Brad lags behind at 33.
The top five contenders in the list released yesterday comprise solely of actors from the Twilight franchise or the TV series The Vampire Diaries.
Leading the pack is Twilight star, Robert Pattinson, 24.
Additionally, three other actors from Twilight have secured spots in the top five.
Charming Taylor Lautner, aged 18, Xavier Samuel at 26, and Kellan Lutz who is 25, have all claimed their positions among the world’s most attractive men. Also making it into the elite five is the dashing Ian Somerhalder from The Vampire Diaries, who is 31.
In contrast, the once-popular figures Becks and Brad, previously ranked four and five last year, now feel less than fantastic as they drop an astonishing 45 spots collectively.
Other notable handsome men have faced similar fates, with 007 Daniel Craig, 42, landing in 34th position and George Clooney, 49, coming in at 35.
Well-known hotties like Jude Law, 37, Leonardo DiCaprio, 35, and Keanu Reeves, 45, have vanished from the list entirely.
Charlotte Duck from Glamour commented: “Women are drawn to vampires due to the thrill of danger they represent. They embody the ultimate bad boy appeal – and women are eager to tame these beasts.”
