According to a new poll, the sexiest men in the world are Irish.
The research, carried out by travel dating site Miss Travel surveyed over 66,000 American women about their taste in foreign men.
The results showed that nearly 8000 women chose Irish men as the hottest in the world,
closely followed by Australians, with Pakistani men in third place.
Women surveyed said accents were a strong factor in who they considered attractive.
Popular Irish actors like Colin Farrell, Michael Fassbender, Jamie Dornan, Aidan Turner and Jonathan Rhys Meyers may have also contributed to the trend.
