British Celebrities Emma Watson And Benedict Cumberbatch Hailed As World’s Sexiest Stars PLUS Other Celebrities Who Made It To The List

She might have acquired fame after playing the role of the geeky Hermione Granger in 'Harry Potter' but 23-Emma Watson proved her maturity after topping Empire magazine's prestigious list of '100 Sexiest Movie Stars'.

"Since leaving Hogwarts, she's blossomed into a fine young actress, playing roles from teen thief to music nerd, and even having fun as herself in 'This Is The End'," claimed the magazine.

The 23-year-old actress once told Daily Telegraph about her yearning for a unique style: "The funny thing about beauty is that you have to be careful you don't end up looking like someone else, especially in the film industry."

The 'Bling Ring' star is not the only Brit who's been acknowledged for sexiness. The list's male counterpart recognized 'Sherlock Holmes' actor Benedict Cumberbatch as the sexiest actor after attaining 50,000 votes.
