Top Ten Hottest Male Characters in The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead might be crawling with walkers, but let's be honest, your eyes weren't always glued to the gore. Sometimes they were locked on a dirt-streaked, sweat-drenched, jawline-having survivor who somehow made surviving the apocalypse look good. You know the type. Flannel, stubble, maybe a little morally gray, maybe just a guy trying to find a can of beans and his humanity.

This list is where you get to settle the real debates. Not who led the best raid or gave the most rousing speech, but who brought the heat to the end of the world. Vote for the guys you think turned heads while turning undead heads into mush.

1. Rick Grimes

   

   Richard "Rick" Grimes is a fictional character and the protagonist in the comic book series The Walking Dead, as well as its television adaptation.

   I love his growly southern drawl. Nothing is sexier than a man with an accent. It's hard to believe that he's actually British, which makes him even hotter. Two accents for the price of one.

   I fell in love with him the moment I saw him in season 1. It's because of him I continued watching this series. His face is so manly and boyfriend material, very reliable.

   There's nothing hotter than a man who has the looks, is a reliable leader, a badass, and takes care of kids.

2. Daryl Dixon

   

   Daryl Dixon is a fictional character from the American television series The Walking Dead, portrayed by Norman Reedus. He is an original character created for the show and does not appear in the comic book series. Daryl has become one of the most popular and enduring characters in the franchise.

   Come on, with the gun show he displays? Those shoulders are to die for and his gorgeous eyes just suck you in.

   But what makes Daryl really really hot is his caring personality.

   Norman Reedus can talk me out of a coma. That man is beyond sexy. The writing has gotten stale, but I stick around only to see him.

   The sexiest man I've ever seen, and every time I see him, I'm like wow. How is a man physically that perfect?

3. Glenn Rhee

   

   Glenn Rhee is a fictional character from the comic book series The Walking Dead and is portrayed by Steven Yeun in the AMC television series of the same name.

   Glenn was adorable. Season 3 onward, he grew into a very handsome man.

   So fine! Incredibly hot, glad he hasn't died as of season 6 episode 14. But I will be so sad when he does die.

   Glenn was amazing. Sure, they did us wrong in season 7, but need I say more?

   The best actor in the world! I love his acting because every role he plays is deep and sensual. He makes you laugh, smile, cry, and think. When you see his play, you can't stay cold and marble because everything he acts is so real. He is an amazing actor and an adorable person.

   Hot! The way he acts is just incredibly attractive to me. But now that I think about it, I might just be in love with Lucille.

   Well hello there, silver fox! He makes bad look so so good.

6. Paul "Jesus" Monroe

   The beard, the eyes, that athletic body, and so on. Very happy that he's been confirmed to be gay!

   Carl Grimes is a fictional character from the comic book series The Walking Dead. He is portrayed by Chandler Riggs in the American television adaptation of the same name, which airs on AMC in the United States. Carl is the son of the series' protagonist, Rick Grimes.

   He is the best guy in The Walking Dead. He is so beautiful and sweet, and I'm not ashamed that I love him.

   It's sad he is fictional, but I guess I can still daydream about him!

   I don't feel ashamed that I have a major crush on Carl. He's so cute. At the very start of the show, I thought he kind of sucked because he was always in the way, a little bit like his mom. But ever since the third season, I started to like him more and more.

   Spencer Monroe is a fictional character from the comic book series The Walking Dead and is portrayed by Austin Nichols in the television adaptation.

17. Owen (The Wolves)

    

    I like his appearance and his character. It kills me that he gets devoured by walkers and turns into one. But it does make me happy that he redeems himself before he dies. He was definitely one of my favorite characters on this show.

    Benedict Samuel, the guy who plays Owen, is very attractive in real life.

    On days when I'm alone, I like to imagine this bearded model driving on a tractor. Honestly, with his Gandalf facial hair and old Southern drawl, he's the hottest character on the show. I love Hershel as much as he loves spaghetti.

    He should have met an attractive old woman who likes to bake and knit. Shaking my head, he deserved better.

    Everything about Hershel is irresistibly hot. He's the definition of a "daddy". From the hot body to his beard, he sure does make my heart race!

    Hershel, let's take a bath together.

    He's smoking hot, and even hotter holding a baby!
