Who’s stealing the spotlight from your favorite A-listers? Meet 2025's rising stars, new faces flipping the fame script—one pirate hat, sad stare, and rap verse at a time.
We get it. You’re still recovering from Zendaya’s latest red carpet slay and Timothée Chalamet whispering in French for perfume ads. But guess what? Hollywood has new crushes, and they’re already lighting up screens, playlists, and your For You page.
Let us introduce the trio redefining cool in 2025: Iñaki Godoy, Christopher Briney, and Aida Osman. They’re fresh, fierce, and officially too famous to be ignored.
Iñaki Godoy: The Pirate Who Stole Our Hearts
Netflix’s One Piece may have raised eyebrows when it was announced—anime live-action adaptations usually live in the “yikes” zone. But then came Iñaki Godoy, swinging in as Monkey D. Luffy with a smile bigger than his straw hat and energy that could power a theme park.
This Gen Z actor is the full package: bilingual, hilarious, wildly expressive, and unapologetically goofy. He’s already a breakout icon for Latino representation in Hollywood, and fans can’t get enough of his chaotic good vibes.
Christopher Briney: The Brooding Heartthrob We Love to Cry Over
If you haven’t binge-watched The Summer I Turned Pretty and screamed at your TV over Team Conrad vs. Team Jeremiah, do you even stream, bro?
Christopher Briney, a.k.a. Mr. Sad Beach Eyes, has carved out a niche as the king of teen romantic drama. He plays angsty like it’s an Olympic sport, and let’s face it—he wins gold in moody shirtless longing.
Expect Briney to keep melting hearts in rom-dramas, indie films, and probably an A24 horror flick that somehow makes you sob.
Aida Osman: Writing, Rapping, and Ruling
If Aida Osman isn’t already on your radar, correct that immediately. Star, writer, and co-creator of HBO’s Rap Sh!t, she’s giving us brains, bars, and best-dressed energy—all at once.
She’s part of a new wave of multihyphenate Black creatives who don’t wait for permission—they create the culture. Whether it’s writing scripts, rapping verses, or shutting down Twitter trolls with a single post, Aida is a star built for this era.
What sets these three apart? They're not trying to be flawless—they're being real. This new generation of stars doesn’t need to fit a mold. They're digital natives, unfiltered icons, and proof that Hollywood’s glow-up includes more diversity, vulnerability, and actual talent.
No nepo babies here—just raw charisma, viral moments, and fans screaming “protect them at all costs.” Stay tuned for updates and more in-depth coverage of your favorite celebrities and entertainment news! Create a free membership account with us today!
