Redheads are a rare group of people that make up 2% of the world population. While in the minority of the population, they are also some of the most beautiful people to have existed. Sadly, though redheads have existed for several millenniums, they are reportedly going extinct. So this feels like the right time to appreciate famous redheads who are stunningly beautiful.
Before we fully in dive into our list of stunning redheads, there are certain things you should know about them. To start with, they have been determined to be more susceptible to cancer due to their skin’s sensitivity to ultraviolet light. However, they are also the only human beings who can create their own Vitamin D.
Furthermore, the chance of meeting one is more likely to happen in Northern and Western Europe, with Scotland considered the country with the highest concentration of redheads. Perhaps the concentration of redheads in Scottish society helped develop the stereotype of redheads possessing fiery tempers – a trait which is a cultural stereotype of many Celtic Nations.
At the end of the day, redheads deserve to be celebrated, especially because where you find them – in film, television, music and even academia, they are always so pleasing to look at. So, in service of this, here is our list of 10 famous redheads who are stunningly beautiful.
