A few entries ago, we talked about Tom Hardy and Logan Marshall-Green, and how Hardy probably keeps Marshall-Green out of the best jobs. That problem looks like it might have repeated itself with Channing Tatum and Wentworth Miller. There are a few years between the two leading men, but they're in such great shape that you'd never know either one of them was much beyond their mid-30s. In terms of profile, though, Tatum puts Miller in the shade.
Given that Miller's 'Prison Break' escapades should have firmly established him as a potential action movie star, it seems odd that he's never quite made that big screen breakthrough. It's almost like Tatum is the guy who plays Miller in the movie of his life. Tatum is also the younger of the two, so it's not even like he'll retire first and Miller will finally get the chance to show what he can do. Sometimes, having an equally skilled doppelganger is a curse!

At the top of the ranking are the legs of Mariah Carey, worth 810 million USD: The diva became, in 2006, the Gillette brand muse for the advertising campaign «Legs of a Goddess».
