New Zealand’s 40 most handsome men alive 2020

Majority of the population of New Zealand is of European descent while the largest minority is the indigenous Māori. Located in the Pacific Ocean, the sovereign island country has two main landmasses called Te Ika-a-Māui (North Island) and Te Waipounamu (South Island).

The Polynesians who started to settle in the islands between 1280 and 1350 developed a distinctive Māori culture. In 1642, Dutch seafarer, explorer and merchant Abel Tasman became the first European to reach the islands.

In 1947, full statutory independence was gained by New Zealand, which was formerly a dominion within the British Empire, with the British monarch still the head of state. The official languages of the Oceanian country are English, Māori and the New Zealand Sign Language.

New Zealand is home to beautiful tourist spots, including the Abel Tasman National Park, Kaikoura and the Milford Sound, and beautiful citizens. Here is the 2020 list of the 40 most handsome living men who are of Kiwi descent, are citizens of New Zealand or were born in the Oceanian country:
