Daniel Craig
Age: 41
Most Like Steve because... He’s perfected the art of the macho guy in Layer Cake, Munich and as Bond.
Cool Hand Dan? Dan defo has the eyes (and the squint, come to think of it) down pat. And what’s more, McQueen’s widow Barbara, recently declared of the Brit star, “[He] kinda has that swagger, the good looks [that Steve had]. If I wasn’t married I’d date him.”

Ryan Phillippe
Age:
34
Most Like Steve Because... They both have/had a predilection for relationships with their co-stars.
Cool Hand Ryan? The actor is obsessed with all things McQueen and credits one of the star’s most acclaimed movies, Cool Hand Luke with making him want to become an actor.

Cam Gigande
t
Age:
26
Most Like Steve Because... He has those classic All-American guy good looks.
Cool Hand Cam? The super-hot dad-to-be (boo!) has already been compared to the great Steve Mc, by David Goyer, director of Cam’s newest flick, The Unborn, who revealed of why he cast Cam, “I thought he had a young Steve McQueen quality.”

James Franco
Age:
30
Most Like Steve Because... Like the heartthrob, James is also a qualified pilot.
Cool Hand Jim? Mr Franco would throw himself into the role, revealing, “One of my favourite actors is Steve McQueen, and he did a [film called] The War Lover. You just watch him in and around the plane, and it’s so natural and detailed because he was a real pilot. So, I hope to try to come close to something like that.”

Sam Worthington
Age:
32
Most Like Steve Because... That furrowed brow and those eye wrinkles hint that the Aussie will age beautifully.
Cool Hand Sam? According to director Geoffrey Wright, who cast Sam as the iconic Macbeth (albeit a modern-day gangster version!), “To me he’s the Aussie Steve McQueen – if you look at McQueen, he’s laconic, moody, gruff and there’s a lot of feeling there and I think Sam is like that.”
