Sir David Attenborough, who studied the behavioural patterns of animals on every corner of the planet, may be surprised to know that fans consider him as one of the world’s coolest celebs. Based on a recent survey, the 88-year-old travelling presenter is deemed cooler than sport and fashion heartthrob David Beckham. He also beat the likes of music stars Harry Styles, Elvis Presley, and Jay Z.

However, it was Hollywood A-lister Johnny Depp who came first followed by Luther star Idris Elba who was voted as runner-up in the survey of 3,000 adults by paid survey site OnePoll.com.

Will Smith is at number three while Prince Harry came in at number nine. He is followed by Steve McQueen and Happy superstar Pharrell Williams.

John Sewell spokesman for OnePoll.com said: 'This is a really eclectic list of men. It shows that you don't necessarily have to be young and in vogue to be considered cool.

'What one person deems as cool will be very different to that of the next person, but it's great to see established professionals like David Attenborough in the mix with rappers, footballers and film legends.

'Similarly, it's pretty flattering for the likes of Harry Styles to be mentioned in the same breath as Mick Jagger, Frank Sinatra, Jay Z.'
