some (probably most) of my favorite actors come from our friendly northern neighbor. i don’t know why really. canada just seems to produce hot talented blood. so check out my top 7 actors from the maple leaf nation below…

7. matthew perry.

come on! it’s chandler. he’s always been my favorite friend. he’s cute. he’s hilarious. and he is always there when i need a pick-me-up. BING!

6. hayden christensen.

i’m not going to lie. most of my love for hayden lies in his adoableness. i’m not the biggest star wars fan, but he’s hard to ignore. rachel bilson is one lucky gal.

5. ryan reynolds

2009 was his year. and well-deserved. i’ve loved him ever since his just friends and van wilder days. his likability makes him one of the few actors who can make us laugh and pretty much get away with anything.

5. gregory smith

i admit it. i’m an everwood geek. and ok, i had a crush on gregory when he appeared in that zenon disney movie like 10 years ago. he’s just the brooding sarcastic hottie you can always empathize with.

4. ryan gosling

do we really need an explanation here? the notebook anyone? he’s charitable (darfur is his main cause) and for those of you that don’t know, he can sing. he was a mousketeer alongside britney, christina and justin in the early 90’s. full package.

3. cory monteith

my new crush. he jumped to the top of my adoration list real quick. his goofyness and tall stature makes him the lovable boy-next-door we all root for.

2. michael cera

from juno to nick and norah, and my personal fav—superbad, this guy knows how to hit his marks. dorky and awkward. hilarious and cute.

1. joshua jackson

there’s really no contest here. josh jackson has always been #1 to me. it’s embarrassing but i own every one of his movies. and we aren’t just talking the classic mighty duck series or my lovely dawson’s creek collection. we’re talking old-school cheesy remakes of romeo and juliet. for real. nonetheless, he’s amazingly talented (see: aurora borealis), effortlessly gorgeous and the kind of guy you can bring home to mom. well at least, diane kruger can.
