Fans deserve to see these 25 actors in a rom-com

Spiderman has been a ton of fun, but it’s time the world was allowed to see a new side of Tom Holland. That Rihanna lip sync he did years ago proves he’s a showman who wants to explore other avenues. Let the man do a romcom about dance!

Michael B. Jordan in a scene that requires him to sweet talk someone, preferably shirtless? Yeah, everyone is on board with that.

Brenda Song is long overdue for some major screen time in a starring role. She was a part of Dollface for a couple of seasons and starred alongside Pamela Anderson in The Last Showgirl, but it’s time Song went center stage.

The aforementioned Matthew McConaughey did rom-coms and then went on to win an Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club, but would it be so wrong for Kieran Culkin to win numerous accolades for Succession and A Real Pain, and then go be a romcom stud? Not at all.

O Captain! My Captain!

Sabrina Carpenter might be one of the hottest people in music, but let’s not forget that the “Espresso” singer started out acting on Disney Channel. So it wouldn’t be wild for her to step back into that realm for a rom-com.

It’s time for John Boyega to distance himself from toxic franchises and fandoms and focus on putting those stunning good looks to work where they will be appreciated.

Jenna Ortega found her niche playing the ultimate moody teen, so when she’s ready for a change, a rom-com role would showcase another set of skills fans are sure she has.

After Joseph Quinn stole the show on Stranger Things’ fourth season, it was surprising that Hollywood didn’t peg him as the next leading man of romance.

Beautiful, charming, talented. Baby, just call Keke Palmer the second coming of Julia Roberts because she’s that girl.

Everyone who watched The Acolyte for Manny Jacinto, please raise a hand. If one could see all the hands raised, they’d understand the public in full-on pining for this man to be a romantic lead.

Ariana Grande’s video for “Thank U, Next” proved that she’s someone who knows the genre very well. On top of her acting background and show-stopping charisma in Wicked, that proves that she needs to build her own little rom-com empire.

Timothée Chalamet seems to always do movies that are destined for the Oscars. Just once, it’d be fun to watch him in something a little less award season and a lot more Wedding Crashers.

Coco Jones is a singer and a great actress who has helped The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reimagining Bel-Air shine. That star quality must be used more (and more and more).

Many, many years ago, Aaron Taylor-Johnson was in a little teen romantic movie called Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging. Ever since then, fans have wanted him to return to that because while seeing him in various action roles has been fun, it’s not the sweet and endearing ways of Angus.

Brie Larson has a personality that yearns for a rom-com.

Jacob Elordi fans just want to see him happy, and rom-coms tend to lean that way.

Once Selena Gomez is done with all those murders happening in that building, she needs a return to the big screen in a rom-com. She may fill the space Drew Barrymore once had in the romcom realm: Cute, comical, and charming.

LaKeith Stanfield has one of those once-in-a-lifetime types of talents when it comes to acting, so much so that fans want to see what he can do when tossed into a rom-com.

After One of Them Days, SZA just needs to do way more movies, including a sweet rom-com.

If the 2000s taught the world anything, it’s that Hollywood can bank on an attractive comedian. Matt Rife can pick up where Dane Cook left off.

Netflix’s Beef was truly must-watch television and won Ali Wong some major awards. However, Young Mazino caught the major attention of fans who watched because he was one of the most attractive human beings to appear on Netflix, ever. He brought a certain type of passion to that role that fans want to see emulated on the big screen.

Hollywood should be sued for not putting Zendaya in a rom-com yet.

All it takes is one look at Dev Patel to understand why someone would want that Adonis of a man in a rom-com.

In many ways, Venom is a rom-com between a man and a symbiote. However, it’d be nice to see Tom Hardy in a rom-com that doesn’t revolve around an alien creature inside of him eating people.
