William Levy, 30 

Why his star shines bright: This Cuban heartthrob and former model has been making women swoon for years as the male lead of three popular telenovelas: Cuidado Con El Angel (2008), Sortilegio (2009), and Triunfo del Amor (2010-2011) — a remake of the Venezuelan classic, Cristal. This year, William’s hotness seemed to multiply. The hunky actor — who made People en Espanol’s 50 Most Beautiful list — was exposed (literally) to a global audience when he appeared shirtless on the beach as Jennifer Lopez’s love interest in the music video for her single, “I’m Into You,” proving it’s not just his career that’s hot.
