If there is anything that I love, it's the Hollywood Bad Boy. From James Dean to Johnny Depp, these group of men have not only dominated the giant screen, but have also stolen quite a few hearts in the process. So gentleman hold on to your hats, and ladies to your stalkings because here they are... my top 5 Hollywood Bad Boys (and honorable mentions too!)
1. Jack Nicholson

No.
I’m not blind. There is a good reason I chose Jack Nicholson for my number one.
For me, a bad boy is defined beyond the way his looks are. A bad boy comes also
with the personality, and by lord does Jack Nicholson have the bad boy
personality. Maybe it’s his care-free, clever attitude or those irresistible,
yet creepy eyebrows, but in every shape, way and form, Jack Nicholson capsules a bad boy.

Whether you find him irresistible or not, is just your opinion. One way or another Jack Nicholson has gotten more than enough of
his fair share in the bed. His life was all drugs, alcohol, and sex. Reportedly sleeping with “nearly 2,000 women”,
and according to Daily Mail UK, among those is the beautiful Meryl Streep! Angelica Huston,
Jack’s supposed one true love, even suffered through Jack’s lifestyle for 17
years before calling it quits with him.

Jack
Nicholson is also one hell of an actor, even working with the genius/madman
himself, Stanley Kubrick. I mean, do we even need to mention this scene:
2.
Clark Gable
If you’ve ever watched Gone With the Wind, you’d be lying if you said you didn't at one point fall in love with Rhett Butler (aka Clark Gable). Much like Nicholson, Gable was a ladies man. Even as a young man, he often would charm the likes of older women, including his teachers in school!
He was dubbed the “King of Hollywood” and “was a symbol of
masculinity, admired by men and adorned by women” (BIO) Even though he was often denied parts because
of his large ears, Clarke went on to be one of the biggest stars of the 30’s.

For me, it
all comes down to Gable’s charm and wit. He was funny, coy, and was never afraid to speak his mind. He slept with numerous women, had a sharp tongue and
despite all this, was held to high regards in the Hollywood lime light.
3.
Marlon Brando
I love Marlon Brando. Aside from being one of the most handsome men to grace
the screen in the 50’s, Marlon Brando had his share of controversies. Known
often for his tantrums on the set, his constant eating,and his need to change the script. Marlon Brando was one bad boy that wasn't the easiest to work with.

Mostly known as his role
Stanley in A
Streetcar Named Desire, Brando was able to act in, what my opinion is, one
of the best movies of all time. He plays an alcoholic gambler that still somehow seems to capture the hearts of swooning women.

What I personally love about him is this
boyish charm he tended to have no matter what he did. Brando did a test
screening for Rebel Without a Cause
and I was, the least to say drawn to his ability to be tough, but innocent all at the same time.
Like
most actors, Brando had a troubled relationship with his father even once
writing “'God, just give him to me alive for eight seconds because I
want to break his jaw”. Yikes. A quote from the bad boy at his finest.
4.
Johnny Depp

He’s
Tim Burton’s right hand man, and one of the most powerful people in Hollywood. Mainly known
for his oddball parts in film and his dabble with depression and drugs, there isn't a single home that isn't aware of who he is.

More than that, he is also one of the biggest sex symbols of our time. Teenage girls from the late 80’s to even now continue to plaster his face
all over their walls. In fact, as I write this, a Johnny Depp poster is hanging
over my head. He's powerful, universal, and some would say, a sort of dark prince figure.
Maybe it's his mysterious, laid back attitude or his ability to be one of the oddest, yet appealing actors of all time, but there is something about Depp that makes him irresistible to Hollywood and the public alike.

5.
James Dean

Unfortunately the life of this Hollywood bad
boy ended short after a drag racing accident. However, by his death age of 24, James Dean had
enough publicity and fan base that he has become immortalized as one of Hollywood’s greatest
legends.

Known to have relations with both females and males alike,
Dean’s performance in Rebel Without a
Cause didn't fall short of a reality since outside of his acting career, he
had a true love for drag racing.

He was a laid back, young and nearly care free. The irony of his death even makes him more of a public spectacle. He's the classic haunted character. Disturbed and always thinking, having a sort of lazy charm to him, it's no wonder why audiences fell in love with him.
RUNNER UPS:
