“Hottest actor in Hollywood” might be hyperbole, yeah, but you’re being equally dubious by cherry-picking his roles. A more accurate summary of his star power, looking only at 2016:
- Moonlight (Best Picture and most important film of the year, for which he won a Supporting Actor Oscar)
- Hidden Figures (3 Oscar nominations, did $170M at the box office)
- House of Cards (Netflix’s Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning flagship show for 5 seasons)
- Luke Cage (key piece of Netflix’s expanding Marvel universe)
- Free State of Jones (not great, but hand-picked to star alongside Matthew McConaughey — Hollywood’s actual hottest actor in 2013–2014)
Maybe there’s a reason everyone wants to work with him?
