Angelina Jolie has been named the sexiest film star ever, beating Natalie Portman and Jessica Alba for the top spot, in Empire Magazine’s list of 100 Sexiest Movie Stars Ever.

Angelina claimed the prestigious title because of her “pneumatic figure, feline eyes and lips that could have been stung by several hives of bees.”

James Bond actor Daniel Craig - of Casino Royale fame - came third, while Fantastic Four beauty Jessica Alba finished fourth.

Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp rounded off the top five.

Other entries on the list, voted for by 20,000 film fans, included Matt Damon - who was recently voted People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2007 - who took 17th spot.

Christian Bale, Kate Winslet, Orlando Bloom, Kate Beckinsale and Clive Owen all made it in to the Top 25. Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe came in at twenty-three.

Volver actress Penelope Cruz took 50th position and the entire list was rounded off by Die Hard 4.0 actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
