For some actors, it’s fame that brings them to Hollywood. For others, it’s the aspiration to take on a number of diverse and challenging roles. Fame, at its core, is simply the state of being widely-known and recognized, but it can be measured in many ways.

The data analysts at PrettyFamous, a division of the Graphiq network, found a way to quantify someone’s fame, and compiled a list of the 10 most famous actors in the world. The rankings are based on the weighted average of the stars’ Wikipedia page views over the past 30 days, the number of award nominations received and the total number of their projects’ IMDb ratings. Because Wikipedia page views assesses current popularity, the list favors living actors. Public figures more notable for behind-the-scenes work than acting (like Quentin Tarantino) were excluded from the list.

From Matt Damon to Leo DiCaprio, see where your favorite leading men fall on this list.
