Julian McMahon

1. His full name is Julian Dana William McMahon and he stands at an impressive 6ft 3inches tall. He is the son of Sir William McMahon the former Prime Minister of Australia.
2. Julian has a daughter with the beautiful actress Brooke Burns who has appeared in the movies Shallow Hal (2001) and Single White Female 2: The Psycho (2005).
3. He married singing star Danni Minogue in 1994 but the Australian dream couple divorced just a year later.

Jim Carrey

1. In October 2004 Jim became a US citizenship but not at the expense of his home country of Canada which he still considers to be his home.
2. Jim's family were once so destitute that they lived out of a camper van until they managed to get themselves back on their feet. A real rags to riches story.
3. For all you Big Brother fans, Jim Carrey isn't Jim's full name. His little known middle name is Eugene. But that's about all these two giants of showbizness have in common.

Enrique Iglesias


1. Enrique has two dogs - a Golden Retriever called Grammy and a German Shepherd called Lucas.
2. He had his famous mole removed from his right cheek in 2003. Don't know about you but we kind of liked it. He said he had it chopped off because a doctor told him it could become cancerous. Not sure if we believe him.
3. Enrique is much taller than he looks at an impressive 6ft 2in or 1.88m if you prefer the metric system.

Eric Bana


1. Holding his own against Brad Pitt in the epic Troy (2004). His shirtless scenes are worth enduring all the fight scenes for.
2. Taking nine months off work after finishing the movie The Hulk (2003) to spend time with his family.
3. Showing off his great body in several scenes from the comic book movie The Hulk (2003). The man has muscles!

Chris Martin

1. Chris went to Haiti and Dominican Republic in 2003 to support Oxfam’s campaign to change the rules of world trade.
2. His full name is Christopher Anthony John Martin and he was born in Devon, not East Sussex as some people believe.
3. Chris and fellow Coldplay member Jon Buckland made cameo appearances in the film Shaun of the Dead as zombies. If you can spot them you're doing better than us.

Richard Gere

1. As rich businessman Edward Lewis who falls for prostitute Julia Roberts in the film Pretty Woman (1990). The love scene on the piano is one of many memorable moments.
2. Of course we had to include the finale to the film An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) where he sweeps Debra Winger of her feet to the sound of Up Where We Belong by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes.
3. Making dreams come true as the male escort Julian Kaye in the film American Gigolo (1980). Would you be tempted?

Owen Wilson

1. Playing iconic character Ken Hutchinson in Starsky & Hutch (2004). He is even sexier than David Soul, although some women wouldn't agree.
2. As secret agent Alex Scott in the movie I Spy (2002) when he tries to seduce Famke Janssen by singing Marvin Gaye's classic Sexual Healing.
3. Finally falling in love with someone after years of one night stands in the comedy Wedding Crashers (2005).
