With all the craziness around the holidays, late December babies can sometimes get the short of the stick. But far be it from us to let some of our favorite Capricorns fall by the wayside, especially these 10 hunks.

According to Allure, a unique spirit is central to a Capricorn's vibe, and they ooze ambition, resilience, and optimism. Interestingly, they're also the wild childs of the zodiac, and their increasing youthfulness over time can give the illusion that Capricorns age backwards. And when you see who's on this list, you might be inclined to agree with that assessment.

Without further ado, here are 10 sexy, ambitious free spirits worth celebrating:

Denzel Washington



What better way to start off than with some classic Denzel? There's almost nothing that this two-time Oscar winner hasn't conquered in his 48 years in the industry, and — lucky us — he's not showing any signs of slowing down. Plus, he only looks to be a fraction of his 68 years, so we think there's definitely something to the notion that Capricorns age backwards.

John Legend



Renaissance man, family man, EGOT winner, and current coach on "The Voice," John Legend persists as one of the most likable men in Hollywood. And it doesn't hurt matters that he's as fine as it gets.

Bradley Cooper



Although he first rose to fame in silly comedic films like "Wet Hot American Summer," "Wedding Crashers," "He's Just Not That Into You," and "The Hangover," a string of brilliant performances in the decade following have cemented him as one of the finest talents of his generation. A nine-time Oscar nominee (including four for acting), he's all but assured a nomination for "Maestro," the Leonard Bernstein biopic that he also directed. Could the fifth time be the charm? We'll see this March.

LeBron James



King James needs no introduction, but like the other men on this list, he gets better and better with age. Not only is LeBron a god on the court, but his tireless activism and philanthropy make him someone you can't help but root for, Lakers fan or not.

Jared Leto



If Capricorns are said to be free-spirited wild childs that appear to age backwards, then no one on this list fits that description better than Jared Leto. From his breakout performance on "My So-Called Life" to seminal film roles in "Requiem for a Dream," "Dallas Buyers Club," and even "House of Gucci," few Hollywood stars commit so fiercely to the roles they inhabit, which is part of what makes him so fun to watch.

Liam Hemsworth



Certainly one of the most pined-after hunks in the world right now, this Australian heartthrob rose to overnight fame thanks to his involvement with the "Hunger Games" franchise. Of late, though, we know Liam for the Miley Cyrus songs he helped inspire, such as this year's runaway hit "Flowers."

Timothée Chalamet



While Chalamet is on the verge of reaching an oversaturation point at the moment, we'd be remiss not to include him on this list. Likable, talented, and kind, he will always be Elio to us. (And he comes to mind whenever we eat a peach.)

Zayn Malik



The hotter but less-successful-than-Harry-Styles member of "One Direction," Zayn took a brief hiatus from music around the time that his daughter with Gigi Hadid was born. However, good news is on the horizon for Zayn fans: This year, he signed a new record deal and obtained new management, so a comeback seems imminent.

Orlando Bloom



Sure, Orlando Bloom is still one of the hottest men in Hollywood, a title he's carried since his 2001 breakout in back-to-back blockbusters "Black Hawk Down" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring." His career has slowed a bit since having a daughter with Katy Perry, but they look so damn happy together that we can't help but stan.

Ricky Martin



Fresh off "The Trilogy Tour" with Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull, this multi-hyphenate dreamboat turns 51 on Christmas Eve. One of the bestselling Latin music artists of all time, Martin's greatest legacy is perhaps his activism, not only for LGBTQ+ rights around the world, but also through The Ricky Martin Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of human trafficking.
