** Keith is also attractive and the word "pretty" describes him well.

%% ** Keith is attractive and the word "pretty" describes him.

* The second ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}'', Arthur Joseph Curry, was distinguished from his predeccessor by having his youth, long hair, and attractiveness emphasized, especially with a sword being his signature weapon.

[[folder:Mythology and Religion]]

* Luigi from the adaptation of Creator/{{Nintendo}} [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros video game franchise]] ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie''. Especially without his hat sometimes.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'', Andy grew up to become a handsome young man.

** Armand is a [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld young-looking]], doe-eyed, gorgeous man, with luscious curls, dainty features, a slender build, and is always clean-shaven. Daniel Molloy disparages his prettiness by referring to him as "the rent boy."

* Akira Kijima (name and appearance-customizable) from ''VisualNovel/SpiritHunterNg'' is this in the several instances when he's not a PepetualFrowner. His female friend, Kaoru Hazuki (who moonlights as an underground Idol and is an ElegantGothicLolita) comments on one occasion that he could pull off wearing womens' clothes with his looks alone.

%% * ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'':
%% ** Draco Malfoy, who's played by a girl.
%% ** But it's not just him--prettiness runs in his family. His father is very pretty too.

* Series/HighSchoolMusical:TheMusical:TheSeries: EJ is called this several times, usually by Ricky.

** Lucifer has sometimes been depicted as a graceful and beautiful man. A good example would be [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_génie_du_mal the French statue “Le génie du mal.]]

** Just like in the comics, Robin counts. It's even more pronounced when he grows into Nightwing. He lacks the muscular body of his comic version and instead trades it in for long hair and a skinny body.

* Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir from ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' is very slender with fine facial features. He's even a model!

*** Zuko manages to be quite the pretty boy in spite of the horrible burn scar that mars a large portion of his face, his prettiness is accentuated in seasons two and three after his hair grows out and softens the harsher edges of said scar.
*** When BigBad and EvilOverlord Fire Lord Ozai [[TheFaceless finally shows his face]], he turns out to be one. You'd expect a family resemblance, between him, Zuko, and Azula but still very unexpected for anyone who expected this evil, shadowy figure to have [[BeautyEqualsGoodness a suitably monstrous appearance.]] Subsequent appearances are used to demonstrate that, looks aside, [[OmnicidalManiac he is as monstrous as they come]].

*** TallDarkAndHandsome Mako takes over the throne for Zuko in this department.
*** Mako's younger brother Bolin plays with this trope: He's also considered very attractive (especially by the fanbase), but is shorter and stockier than Mako, blunt-featured, and more cute than pretty. He leans a bit more towards a {{hunk}} but is still more baby-faced than the norm.

* ''Franchise/Ben10'': Ben, in contrast to Kevin's {{Hunk}}, has slim features and large expressive green eyes. Also Alan Albright in ''Alien Force'' and ''Ultimate Alien''.

* Terry [=McGinnis=] in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', fitting with the ChickMagnet nature of all Batman iterations. In addition to the normal high school girls who fawn over him, he also manages a few instances of DatingCatwoman thanks to his good looks.

* Callum during the second arc (''The Mystery of Aaravos'') has become this in the 2 year TimeSkip between seasons 3 and 4 of ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'' due to having hit a growth spurt in that time and wearing his hair partially swept back a la AnimeHair. Callum was still fairly cute appearance wise during the firstt arc, though.

** Sam Winchester is rather pretty for the first season or two, with his soft features and flowing bangs, and he isn't even really growing facial hair at this point. He grows into his features around Season 5 and 6 and goes full {{Hunk}}.

** Creator/TimotheeChalamet plays Paul Atreides in the [[Film/Dune2021 2021]]-[[Film/DunePartTwo 2023]] version, and he doesn't stray too far behind in terms of boyish beauty, either.

* Music/{{Eminem}}'s appearance led to him becoming a TeenIdol in 1999 despite really being a HardcoreHipHop artist who rapped BlackComedy {{Horrorcore}} scenarios about murder and suicide. In one of Music/InsaneClownPosse's {{Diss Track}}s against Eminem, "Nothing But a Bitch Thang", they insult him by saying he makes "prettyboy rap" for an audience of infatuated eleven-year-old girls. Eminem himself was aware of his prettiness and proud of it, self-describing as 'cute' and 'pretty' in several of his songs - most acidly in "White America", a song calling out the racism that led to him becoming so much bigger a star than his black contemporaries, in which he points out that his supposed cuteness is really just him being white enough to fit the beauty standard.

* [[TheCharmer Camilo Madrigal]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'': has not become one of the biggest EnsembleDarkHorse in Disney history for nothing.

** [[UnpopularPopularCharacter Bruno]] is considered weird by everyone in the universe, but hardly any fans think the same way. Fangirs have admitted to being attracted to him and even claim that they would like to have him as a husband.
* Hans from ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' has a slender face and build befitting a PrinceCharming compared to beefy MountainMan Kristoff. [[spoiler: by contrast, he also happens to be an evil, manipulative SmugSnake compared to Kristoff's honorable grump]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut,'' [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Joy]] and [[TheEeyore Sadness]] wind up in Imagination Land, where they see Riley's [[GirlfriendInCanada Imaginary Boyfriend]]. He's tall, has thick curly hair, and [[BrainlessBeauty no real personality]] other than posing dramatically and expressing his UndyingLoyalty to Riley. It's worth noting that he's basically a handsomer version of Jordan, the [[NoNameGiven nameless]] boy whom Riley meets at the end.
