Tom Felton is the British heartthrob beloved for his portrayal of pre-adolescent villain, Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film franchise. While we might be accustomed to his youthful looks, he turns 28 years old today.

In honour of the ageing dark horse of Hogwarts who won an MTV Movie Award for ‘Best Villain’ in 2010 and 2011, we’re counting down the hottest and most hardcore villains to hit the silver screen.

Christian Bale in American Psycho

Sure, Christian Bale’s American Psycho character is a sociopathic homicidal murderer who enjoys chasing around prostitutes with a chainsaw, but he also happens to have great abs – and did we mention the devilish charm? We love Bale’s badass portrayal of snide New York investment banker Patrick Bateman, and let’s not forget his character’s major high maintenance morning routine to prevent his face from looking a little puffy – “In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub.” Really?

Demi Moore in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle

We all love an all-girl crime fighting squad, especially when it includes three hot babes like Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu. However, we still think that Demi Moore killed it as the villain in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle as Madison Lee, the former angel gone rogue whose makeup always managed to look on point, even with guns ablaze. Moore, who was 40-years-old at the time of shooting, even held her own in the famous Baywatch-esque surfing scene alongside Cameron Diaz. Let’s hope our bodies still look this good when we hit the big 4-0.

Rachel McAdams in Mean Girls

“She’s fabulous but she’s evil” – This pretty much sums up high school bad girl and leader of The Plastics, Regina George. Rachel McAdams gives a stellar performance as Regina George, the unapologetic mean girl who’s famous for spreading rumours, manipulating friends and delivering endless quotables – all while sporting a perfect doll face. McAdams also dons some pretty sexy outfits in the film including a Santa-themed mini skirt and leather boots combo in their famous rendition of ‘Jingle Bell Rock’. Is butter a carb?

Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns

Not everyone can pull off a good Catwoman – Anne Hathaway case in point. However, Michelle Pfeiffer is unforgettable as the resurrected bad girl in the classic Batman Returns, with a perfect performance culminating in sexiness, creepiness, and feline characteristics. Want proof? Check out Michelle Pfeiffer in her alluring transformation into Catwoman in the clip above.

Daryl Hannah in Kill Bill

Who knew you could make an eye patch look sexy? Daryl Hannah played Elle Driver in Kill Bill, who’s death-like stare gave us chills even before she whipped out the Samurai sword in the ultimate girl-on-girl fight scene with Uma Thurman. Plus, who could forget the sexy nurse’s outfit she’s wears to administer a lethal injection in the famed hospital scene?

Hayden Christensen in in Star Wars: Episode II/Episode III

We all loves him as a good boy as the young Anakin Skywalker, but there’s something innately satisfying about watching the virtuous enter the dark side. Hayden Christensen won us over as the troubled Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars series, and who didn’t envy Natalie Portman’s role as Padame Amidala just for the chance to stare into Christensen’s dreamy blue eyes?

Megan Fox in Jennifer’s Body

She’s a blood-thirsty possessed cheerleader, but Jennifer Check played by the sultry Megan Fox still manages to be the object of desire of every male alive, even when she’s savagely ripping their bodies to shreds. It doesn’t help that you see Megan Fox skinny dipping and suggestively licking fire from a lighter in the film. We love fire.

Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct

Sharon Stone’s performance as the devious seductress, Catherine Tramell in the 1992 erotic thriller Basic Instinct was so good it gave way to a number of films ripping off its premise in the mid 90s, which included Madonna’s cringe-worthy performance in the NC-17 rated Body of Evidence. The film, which was extremely controversial for its time for its explicit sex scenes, solidified Stone as a sex symbol of the 90s.

Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight

The voice, the stare, the laugh. Heath Ledger goes pretty method in his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight, but there’s something undeniably appealing about his character’s wicked demeanour – maybe its the fact that underneath all that smudged makeup lies the sculpted cheekbones of the guy that stole your heart in 10 Things I Hate About You. Whatever it is, Ledger definitely gets props for his awesome performance as the Joker.

Tom Felton in Harry Potter

Yes, Draco Malfoy is a bit of a douchebag for the most part of the Harry Potter series, but we still love Tom Felton as the snobby good-looking bad boy and arch rival Draco Malfoy. Felton was definitely committed to the role, peroxiding his hair for ten years in order to film the Harry Potter series, but he’s definitely racked up more than a few female fans in the process, and for good reason.
