Jolie has topped a list of the 100 Sexiest Movie Stars Ever.

The 'Beowulf' actress topped the poll, conducted by Empire magazine, to find the most beautiful star of the silver screen.

Christian Bale ate a live snake for his new film. The 33-year-old actor, who stars as Dieter Dengler in new movie 'Rescue Dawn', agreed to the movie after being challenged to eat several live animals by the film's director Werner Herzog.

Christian said: "Werner said to me, 'How do you feel about swimming through a snake-infested river?' so I said, 'How do you feel about it Werner?' He said, 'I will do this if you will.' Then he asked, 'How you feel about eating a live snake?'"

David Beckham has been named the number one "man's man".

The soccer star topped website AskMen.com's Top 49 Men of 2007 list, which saw over one million internet users vote for the most masculine male star.

Angelina Jolie and George Clooney are Hollywood's sexiest superheroes. Jolie's sultry Lara Croft from 'Tomb Raider' and Clooney's turn as Batman in the widely-panned 'Batman and Robin' saw them crowned the most lusted after Superwoman and Superman by film fans.

Jolie won with 36 percent of the vote, fighting off stiff competition from Jessica Alba's sexy Sue Storm from the 'Fantastic Four' franchise, who polled 19 percent.

Christian Bale believes he is such a good actor he can "overshadow" his movies.

The 'American Psycho' star is so dedicated to his art he goes to extreme lengths to get into character - he shed 50lbs to play a dying insomniac in 2004's 'The Machinist' - and worries this may detract from the film itself.

He doesn't mind getting in an action suit, but don't make him show up at a girl's house with flowers and candy.

Christian Bale would only star in a romantic comedy if he was homeless.
