Hollywood royalty Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been named the world’s sexiest movie stars ever, as voted by New Zealanders. Over 7500 Kiwis responded to the poll of the top 100 sexiest movie stars, revealing tastes from the obvious to the obscure.

Sexily divided between the top 50 men and the top 50 women, the poll drew votes for both old (65-year-old Helen Mirren and 68-year-old Harrison Ford) and young (20-year-old Emma Watson and 23-year-old Zac Efron). Stars exuding sexiness from beyond the grave include Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe, Heath Ledger and Paul Newman.

New Zealand actors Anna Paquin, Martin Henderson and Russell Crowe also feature. Meanwhile Mel Gibson makes the list at number 46 despite his recently publicised outbursts at his ex Oksana Grigorieva, suggesting that a few Kiwi women would be willing to calm the angry Aussie’s wild ways.

The power of the Twilight saw its stars Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart all grace the list.

The top five women were voted:

   1. Angelina Jolie
   2. Scarlett Johansson
   3. Jessica Alba
   4. Megan Fox
   5. Zoe Saldana

The top five men were voted:

   1. Brad Pitt
   2. Johnny Depp
   3. George Clooney
