Modern realities have led to the emergence of a number of young actors and actresses who, despite their young age, have managed to achieve impressive career heights and gain recognition. The Hollywood Reporter has compiled a list of Hollywood's young stars who are currently considered the best of the best thanks to their large fan base and successful films in their arsenal. The comment “who are all these people” starts in 3...2...1...

Glen Powell - 35 years old





Powell has spent quite a bit of time slowly rising through the ranks as an actor, producer and writer. After small roles in projects such as Hidden Figures and The Expendables 3, the charismatic guy won the attention of audiences thanks to his success in the 2018 rom-com Set Up. This was followed by roles in the films Top Gun: Maverick and Double Loop, which brought Powell a lot of media attention. The man also showed himself excellently as a screenwriter. Subsequently, Glen began to receive many dizzying offers related not only to acting, but also to film production.

Austin Butler - 32 years old



Many directors agree that Butler has all the trappings of a classic Hollywood leading man. His looks and acting are the best proof. He began his career with small roles in Nickelodeon and Disney projects. Now in his creative piggy bank there are a number of high-profile projects for which many people fell in love with him. These include The Carrie Diaries, The Shannara Chronicles, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Dead Don't Die, Dune: Part Two and Elvis. By the way, the last film brought the actor a Golden Globe and a BAFTA.

Timothee Chalamet - 28 years old





Few young actors can boast of as many successful roles as Timothée Chalamet. The young actor, while still a teenager, began working with leading directors. After the release of the film Interstellar in 2014, his career took off. At the age of 22, he entered cinema history as the youngest Oscar nominee in the last 80 years. The films “Dune”, “Call Me by Your Name”, “Little Women” and “Wonka” brought the actor the greatest fame.

Paul Mescal - 28 years old



The Irish actor has long avoided traditional Hollywood projects, preferring independent films instead. His first work after Normal People was a small supporting role in the adaptation of Stranger's Daughter, followed by the indie film My Sunshine, which received an Oscar nomination. For some time, the actor also devoted himself to theatrical productions. However, this approach did not prevent the actor from earning recognition from colleagues and viewers.

Ridley Scott's Gladiator 2 will be released soon (namely in November), in which Paul Mescal will play one of the leading roles. This will be the young actor’s first full-time work with the studio.

Florence Pugh - 28 years old



The English actress is one of the few new A-list stars who regularly appears in both classic and atypical film adaptations. Florence enjoys playing in thrillers, detective stories, mystical films, comedies and, of course, superhero films. People started talking about her in 2016 when she played the main role in the film Lady Macbeth. The peak of the actress's career came after she starred in the projects Little Women and Midsommar, which proved her commercial appeal. In the summer of 2021, the premiere of the film “Black Widow” took place, where Florence Pugh got the role of Elena Belova, which brought her even greater demand. The actress also appeared in the film Dune: Part Two.

Anya Taylor-Joy - 28 years old



Anya Taylor-Joy has established herself as a versatile actress who is not afraid to experiment. Her career growth began after the main role in the horror film “The Witch”. Almost immediately the actress was invited to the fantastic thriller “Morgan”. Then Anya captivated the audience in the projects “Barry” and “Split”. Anya Taylor-Joy gained great fame in the American drama series “The Queen's Walk.” For a long time, the actress could not get out of the role of a girl from a horror movie, but she succeeded.

Zendaya - 27 years old



It is noteworthy that 27-year-old Zendaya achieved her status thanks to a rather modest number of film roles. After leaving children's television, she starred in several Spider-Man films, the musical hit The Greatest Showman, the TV series Euphoria and, of course, Dune. The actress also has a whole lot of lucrative advertising contracts with Bulgari and Lancôme, which allow her to earn large sums by playing only leading roles.

Sydney Sweeney - 26 years old



With her unabashed commercial ambitions, Sweeney has been compared to Scarlett Johansson. She is considered not only a talented actress and producer, but also an experienced marketer. She has more than 50 successful projects under her belt, and this at just 26 years old. Many fans fell in love with Sweeney for her roles in the TV series “White Lotus”, “The Handmaid’s Tale”, “Sharp Objects” and “Euphoria”.

Jacob Elordi - 26 years old



The Australian actor managed to win the love of fans around the world thanks to his roles in the rom-com The Kissing Booth, the drama series Euphoria, the dramas Saltburn and Oh Canada. He is currently filming Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

Jenna Ortega - 21 years old



The series "Wednesday" is the most watched English-language series in the history of the Netflix streaming platform. The role of the gothic teen quickly made a star of Ortega, who at the time was still known for her work as a child star in low-budget TV series. Partial popularity was brought to her by two rebooted Scream films, which collected decent amounts at the box office. Jenna will soon appear in the film Beetlejuice, which will be released on September 6 this year.
