We’d be lying if we said we hadn’t fantasised about being swept off our feet in a chance encounter with an internet boyfriend. While, for most of us, our relationship with celebs like Paul Mescal and Drew Starkey won’t ever extend beyond the parasocial, we’d like to think that, given the chance to meet IRL, the attraction would definitely be mutual.
But what if there was a way to measure your compatibility without ever actually meeting? Luckily for us, astrology has an answer for that. We’ve consulted the stars and analysed the birth chart of our favourite male celebs so you can calculate exactly how well you’d hit it off… You know, on the off chance you two should ever cross paths. Intrigued? We don’t blame you. Discover your ultimate celeb love match below.
Paul Mescal

Irish actor Paul Mescal is an Aquarius, so it's no surprise he's the master of sensitive on-screen characters like Normal People's Connell and Aftersun's Calum. In addition to being emotionally adept, Aquarius' like Mescal are naturally curious, intellectual, and humanitarian — always seeking out the best in others, and on a pursuit to make a difference in the world. So who would make a perfect match for this sign? A fellow air sign, Gemini and Aquarius are well-matched when it comes to social and altruistic issues, and can both be a little stubborn, too.
Drew Starkey

Just when we thought we couldn't love Drew Starkey any more, it turns out the actor is a Scorpio, and naturally attune at reading others and really knowing them on a deeper level. This perceptiveness means Scorpios – and Starkey in particular – will hit it off best with fellow water signs (Cancer and Pisces), who can match their emotional depth, or Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn), who can hep bring them back down to earth.
Harris Dickinson and Jacob Elordi

As it turns out, these actors have more in common than simply being our on-screen obsessions. Harris Dickinson and Jacob Elordi are both Cancers: the caregivers of the astrological world. This soft, sensitive sign has emotional intuition in spades, and a tendency to nurture those around them — even at the detriment of themselves. As for compatibility, Cancers find their bet match in the dependable patience of Taurus.
Austin Butler

A Leo's charisma is contagious, so it's no surprise that Austin Butler, a Leo, has made a name as one of the biggest movie stars of today. Charming and courageous, a Leo's cup is filled by entertaining those around them, and their energy and passion for life is easily catching. It follows that Leos will likely fall for someone similarly enthusiastic, making Aries a strong contender for their perfect match.
Timothée Chalamet

While Timothée Chalamet's digital footprint might give off strong Leo energy, the actor is actually a Capricorn. This sign typically has big goals, and feels fulfilment from bringing their visions to life. Persistent and practical, Capricorns like Timmy tend to be overachievers, and are known for their inimitable work ethic. Romantically, fellow earth sign Virgo will hit it off best with Capricorn's strong-willed spirit.
Jonathan Bailey

Jonathan Bailey is a Taurus, which means he has a stable, calming energy to him. Like most earth signs, Taurus' tend to be dependable and determined and, as such, are attracted to people who make them feel comfortable, and at ease. Astrologically, this means Bailey would be most compatible with a fellow earth sign (Capricorn, Virgo), or perhaps even a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces).
Adam Brody

Adam Brody is a Sagittarius, so he has an explorative nature at his core. Always on the hunt for new experiences and knowledge, a Sagittarius isn't afraid of change — and it shows. So who can tame this most unshackled of the zodiac signs? Their free-spiritedness is best matched by Aquarius and Gemini.
