Not only are they so handsome that we can’t help but ogle over them, but these hot male celebrities are also exceptionally talented at what they do.

1) Tobi Bakre

Tobi had all the women swooning with his onscreen performance as Babalola in the recent and famous movie, "Gangs of Lagos". His grandeur, poise, and carriage left us all wanting more. Tobi oozed sex appeal right there on the screen, and the ladies couldn't resist him. 

From the handsome face, the toned body, the talent, the bag, everything is giving what it’s supposed to give. But ladies, better watch out, because Tobi is happily married with a kid.

With a series of successful movies to his name, Tobi shows no signs of stopping any time soon, and we are here for it! He killed his roles in "Sugar Rush", "Brotherhood", and of course "Gangs of Lagos". We couldn't be more proud of our very own Nigerian superstar.

Before his acting career took off, Tayo first caught our attention as a contestant on Big Brother Africa, where he represented Nigeria and made it all the way to the runner-up spot. But now, he's making waves in the film industry and we couldn't be more proud.

Tayo is always grateful for his success and never hesitates to thank God on his social media. We're sure that this is just the beginning of an even more extraordinary career for this rising star.
