Pierce Brosnan, 57, hails from Navan, Co. Meath. He has had a number of memorable roles in box office hits that include “Dante's Peak” and “The Thomas Crown Affair”, but most notably for his Golden Globe nominated role in “Mamma Mia”. It was, however, his iconic role as James Bond in four movies from 1995-2002 that has given him his sexy status. Killing the bad guys, having his drinks shaken, not stirred, and seducing a serious of beautiful bond girls including Denise Richards, Halle Berry and Teri Hatcher, made women all over the world week at the knees for the secret agent. He is married to American journalist and author Keely Shaye Smith and became an American citizen in 2004.

Bono

Paul David Hewson aka Bono, 50, hails from Dublin and is front man for U2, one of the most successful rock bands in the world. His rocker status and uber-cool outfits, combined with his outspoken views on humanitarian issues and rebellious streak make him one of Ireland’s most desirable men. Bono is a man who knows how to use his voice for a lot more than singing and has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003, 2005, and 2006 for his philanthropy. He was involved in the 1984 “Feed the World” charity single and the re-released version in 2004. Ali Hewston is that smart lady that managed to snap up Ireland’s coolest and most caring man and the couple have two children together.
 
Gabriel Byrne

Gabriel James Byrne, 60, is from Dublin but made a huge impression state-side with a string of successful movies including “The Usual Suspects” and Stigmata. His dark looks and roles as the bad guy have given Byrne the mysterious appeal that draws women to him. He has come far from his debut role in RTE’s “The Reardons”, but has returned to the small screen starring in his critically acclaimedHBO primetime weeknight series “In Treatment”. Byrne is divorced from actress Ellen Barkin, with whom he has two children. He has dual Irish/American citizenship and currently resides in Manhattan.
 
Richard Gere

Richard Gere, 60, comes from Anglo-Irish parents and grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is most famous for his roles in “American Gigalo”, “Pretty Woman” and “An Officer and a Gentleman”, which established him as a leading man and sex symbol. He furthered this appeal by being married to one of the world’s most beautiful women, Cindy Crawford from 1991-5. Gere has also been involved in Survival International, Healing the Divide and many other ecological and AIDs awareness campaigns. In 2002, he married model and actress Carey Lowell and they have one son.
