Prince William getting named 'world's sexiest bald man' did not sit well with the Internet

The Internet was left in disbelief as the ranking made its way online. While a section of the fans hilariously declared the vote was rigged, another group campaigned for Stanley Tucci. 

A Reddit user wrote, "Oh great, he can add to his pile of other crowns." Someone else shared an adorable clip from 'The Simpsons', writing with incredulity, "Over Homer Simpsons?"

"As a bald man, I really feel like we need better bald man celebrities. We can go a lot sexier than this," quipped a person.

An individual wrote, "Prince William sexier than Jason Statham??? Um," and one more echoed, "Did something happen to Jason Statham's face?"

"Who voted for him????" asked one in disbelief. "Did AI decide this?" added someone who wasn't satisfied with the result. 

"Tell me you fixed a list without telling me you fixed a list," joked a netizen, with another adding, "That's how you know it's rigged 😂."

One declared, "Not while Stanley tucci lives!" "Stanley Tucci is RIGHT THERE," similarly campaigned another fan. 

Prince William faced competition from stars like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal

While the British royal took the crown, he received some fierce competition from the likes of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal, and Stanley Tucci, among others.
