We’re almost at the end of 2025 and as a result we’ll be seeing about a thousand year-end lists. This one caught my attention because it’s often difficult to measure actors’ popularity outside of awards shows. But among the viewers? We now have data from Google on who the most googled actors of the year were all over the world.
Of these ten, I knew eight of them, and you can see if you get all ten, or less. Here’s who they are and what you might know them from:

1) Mikey Madison – The Oscar winner for Best Actress of Anora wasn’t a household name, and you can imagine that after that win there was a bunch of “who is she?” questions followed online. And probably a lot of streams from it Anorawhere most people may not have fully understood what they were getting into.
2)Lewis Pullman – A legitimately surprising runner-up, and one of only two superhero actors on the list. Steven Yeun retired from Marvel’s Lightning strikeswhere he was supposed to play Sentry, but Pullman intervened. He also happens to be the son of Bill Pullman, to whom I only recently made that connection. He will appear in Avengers: Doomsday next year.
3) Isabela Merced – Merced had two major projects this year, with which he stole the show The last of us season 2 on HBO, and then guest-starred as Justice Gang member Hawkgirl in the first DCU film, Superman. Moreover, she played a leading role Alien: Romulus another great film at the end of 2024. She inflates quickly.
4) Song Ji Woo – Well, I knew her, I guess, but I didn’t know her name. Song Ji Woo was a newcomer Squid game in season 2, where she played Kang Mi-na. She also died incredibly quickly. In the first game, Red Light, Green Light, the dark character Thanos sets her back, and she is promptly shot. So why is she so high on the list? Well, this is one global list, and she is a famous actress and model in Korea, so people google her for non-Squid game reasons too.
5) Kaitlyn Dever – Watch her, she’s going to win an Oscar one day, mark my words. She was also a new addition The last of us as upcoming co-lead Abby, the second most important character in the second game. She also had a wild role in it Apple cider vinegar on Netflix.
6) Charlie Hunnam – I’m sure there is only one reason for this; Ryan Murphy asked him to play Ed Gein in his latest ‘Monsters’ entry, even though I’ve known him ever since Not indicatedit’s probably less known to most people, so a lot of Googling ensued, as that show was extremely popular.
7)Bella Ramsey – Okay, we’re working on the three biggest characters The last of us season 2 here. This was literally her own big role this year, so I guess The last of us fans are more curious than most.
The summer I became beautiful

8) Gavin Casalegno – You have me here, I didn’t know him, and I don’t watch his show, the mega popular one The summer I became beautifulwhere he plays Jeremiah Fisher. To be honest, I’m a little surprised he’s here instead of star Lola Tung.
9) Emma Myers – Myers beat her Wednesday co-star Jenna Ortega as her star continues to rise. She was also one of the main characters in the hugely popular film Minecraft film this year, further raising her profile. In addition, she shines in her own Netflix show, A good girls guide to murderwhich was renewed for a second season in 2026.
10)Walton Goggins – He’s everywhere, man. A main character The White Lotus. A main character Fallout. A main character The righteous gemswhere you would keep an eye on him at some point The White Lotus And Gemstones Sunday evening in a row. Fallout season 2 airs next week on Amazon, so it’s not going anywhere.
