Who distinguished themselves and caught your attention this year? Whom do you respect, who do you want to know more about? Here is a list of the men who stood out in 2011.

Prince William

The heir to the British throne this year officially married his longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton and received the title of Duke of Cambridge. The wedding took place on April 29 at Wesminster Abbey in London, and a third of the world's population witnessed the ceremony: 2.4 billion viewers watched the event online.

Colin Firth

This year was a triumphant one for Colin. For the main role in the film "The King's Speech!" the most prestigious film awards rained down on him like a cornucopia. In addition to the major Oscars and Golden Globes, Firth received a BAFTA and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

Justin Timberlake

In 2011, this singer finally established himself as the new movie superstar. In the film "Bad Teacher" Justin played one of the central roles, the object of desire of the heroine Cameron Diaz, in "Sex for Friends" he performed well in a duet with Mila Kunis, in the film "Time" he also had the main role.

Paul McCartney

The famous member of the Liverpool Four this year decided to tie the knot for the third time. This event looks all the more significant when you consider that just three years ago, the musician got a divorce with a fight after a failed marriage with Heather Mills. Also this year, he was among the top ten richest musicians according to Forbes with $ 67 million. Sir Paul also received a Grammy for Best Rock Song Performer.

Robert Pattison

The performer of the role of a handsome vampire in 2011 again became the sexiest man in the world according to Glamor magazine. Robert Pattinson tops this rating for the third time, and next year he again has every chance of being in first place: in November another episode of the vampire saga "Twilight" was released, where his hero Edward Cullen finally marries his Bella and in a fit of passion breaks the bed on their wedding night.

Andrey Zvyagintsev

The director shot only three full-length films, and each of them became a real event in the world of cinema. In 2011, the film "Elena" was released, which has already brought its creator the Jury Prize of the Special Look at the Cannes Film Festival and the Grand Prix of the Ghent International Film Festival.

Prince Albert

Prince William was not the only aristocrat who decided to end his bachelorhood. The wedding of Prince Albert of Monaco also caused a huge public outcry, because the ruler of the principality until 53 years old led a fairly free lifestyle and even became the father of two illegitimate children. Marrying his longtime girlfriend Charlene Wittstock was most likely prompted by the need to finally acquire a legitimate heir and a contender for the princely throne.

Leonardo DiCaprio

The actor topped the list of the highest paid actors in Hollywood with an annual salary of $ 77 million. Presumably, Leonardo's success next year will be significant: since August, he has been filming Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, and in November, Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar ", where DiCaprio played the legendary head of the FBI. In general, it was not for nothing that Vladimir Putin called him "a real man" during DiCaprio's visit to Russia a year ago.

Bradley Cooper

The title of "Person of the Year" is a responsible title, and according to GQ in 2011 it is Bradley Cooper who is worthy of it, having brilliantly played in the films "Limitless" and "The Hangover Part II".

Hugh Laurie

In 2011, a Guinness World Record was registered: Hugh Laurie is the actor who attracts the largest audience to TV screens. But that is not all. The actor who brilliantly played Dr. House, it turns out, is also a wonderful musician. This year he released the album Let Them Talk, and his talent was quickly recognized by GQ magazine, which declared Laurie "Musician of the Year".

Stas Mikhailov

The performer of the sentimental chanson and, according to rumors, the beloved singer of Svetlana Medvedeva for the first time entered the Forbes rating, topping the list of the wealthiest Russian celebrities. Mikhailov's earnings amounted to $ 20 million, and in terms of the number of mentions of his name in the press and queries in search engines, he confidently bypassed five dozen other participants in the rating. In addition, this year the singer gave three (!) Concerts in the State Kremlin Palace and released a new album "Only you".

Justin Bieber

This young man is only 17 years old, but he is already a world-class star.

Ivan Urgant

David Beckham

The footballer this year took up a new business for himself: he released a line of Bodywear lingerie for H&M. But the main event of the year for David and his wife Victoria was the appearance of their fourth child. On July 10, Harper Seven was born, after three sons, she was a really long-awaited daughter for her parents.
