British actor Joseph Fiennes, who starred in Shakespeare in Love, was in fourth place, with a surprise choice - Austin Powers creator Mike Myers - just making it into the top five.

The runners-up in the female poll include last year's winner, There's Something About Mary actress Cameron Diaz in third place.

Rene Russo, who starred alongside Pierce Brosnan in The Thomas Crown Affair, and Austin Powers star Heather Graham were ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.
