• Daniel Radcliffe

    Of Harry Potter (and coke-bottle glasses) franchise fame, Radcliffe is now half British bad boy, half nice nerd.

  • Bill Hader

    Hader played Amy Schumer’s dorky, sweet doctor love interest in “Train Wreck,” and ever since, we’ve been crushing on him.

  • John Oliver

    The brilliant British talk-show host is so earnest about trying to educate us all about social and political issues that matter—and he’s charming and funny, to boot.

  • Elijah Wood

    The “Back to the Future Part II” and “Lord of the Rings” actor wins our hearts with every nerdy role.

     

  • Geoffrey Arend

    He might be married to one of Hollywood’s biggest babes, Christina Hendricks, but Arend’s roles in rom coms such as “500 Days of Summer” and “Save the Date” are strictly relegated to the lovable, awkward dork.

  • Adam Brody

    When it comes to former “OC’ star Brody, whose adorkable alter-ego Seth Cohen millennial fangirls will never forget, he’s once a hot nerd, always a hot nerd.
