33 British Actors Who Had A Mega Glow-Up

by Kylin

While British actors already have +10 Charisma thanks to their very sexy accents, we managed to find 33 objectively very hot actors who managed to get EVEN HOTTER as they aged. A Glow-Up so to speak.

In case you’re unfamiliar with the term, a Glow-Up is a term that was coined to describe the positive personal change in a person. Typically this involves significant changes in appearance and style and is often seen with growth in confidence and maturity.

Basically, people are like wine, we also get better with age. With the right conditions, we can become full-bodied in our flavors and profile, and are best enjoyed by the right sort of people who truly want to appreciate us.

Blah, blah, enough with the metaphors, let us get back to the good stuff: Hot British Actors. As we mentioned above, we collected photos of 33 very attractive British actors, a photo from when they were first breaking into stardom, and a recent photo of the same actor.

It is incredible what time, experience, and development of style can do for a person. These actors have been fawned over since they first started making waves, but holy cow did they all Glow-Up.

So, what are you waiting for? Scroll down to see 33 of the hottest actors before and after their Glow-ups!

There you have it. 33 breathtakingly gorgeous men that somehow got even more breathtakingly gorgeous over time.

It is wildly unfair that such beautiful people continued to get MORE BEAUTIFUL. Meanwhile, I get more potato-like.
