Now that we’ve exposed those most likely to be undead among Hollywood’s hottest idols, we are turning our attention to a different pack of supernatural celebs: the superstar werewolf.  More private than their immortal sworn enemies, these stars only show their true selves once a month. (But that’s more than can be said of most actors.)  It’s been tough, but we’ve uncovered the hairy truth about Tinseltown’s finest.  Check out our list of celebs we think have the potential to totally wolf-out.

Benicio Del Toro
This fiery Puerto Rican actor is currently working on “The Wolf Man,” and is it any wonder he was cast for the part? His growling voice and brooding eyes -not to mention sturdy physique- howled werewolf long before he took on the legendary character.  Intimidating in the extreme when playing the straight man, Del Toro has also been known to flash a wolfy grin.  We think we’ll see much more of it in his roll as Moe in the “Three Stooges” movie.

Kim Kardashian
We submit the following well known facts for consideration.  This brunette beauty of Armenian descent hails from a region of Eastern Europe known for its Lycan lore.  She tends to travel in a pack, never straying far from her tight-knit family.  And lastly, and most likely beastly, Kardashian never seems to have a problem shedding her clothes in a hurry and has been known to take a bit out of a man or two in her day.

Christian Bale
Until recently, Bale appeared to be relatively mild-mannered. (He has that funny accent and everything.)  But we now know that that the actor was just a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Generally polite in interviews and to his costars, he can turn at a moment’s notice and howl your head off.

Tyra Banks
A werewolf with extensions? Well, weirder things have happened.  Remember that one werewolf who surfed on top of a van?  Anyway, Tyra makes her living easily as a supermodel, morphing into other forms on command. She’s been known to bare her teeth and attack model hopefuls without provocation , and as the alpha female on “Top Model” she has complete control over all the younger models in her pack. Need to subdue the snarling Banks? Just give her ego a good pet.

Chris Pine
The opposite of his “Star Trek” co-star Zachary Quinto’s character Spock, Pine’s character, James T. Kirk, lives by his own rules, ignores good advice, and antagonizes authority. You might even call him a lone wolf…except when there’s a woman within ten feet of him.  That’s when the character (and actor) turn on the charm. Actually, we’d call it pure animal magnetism. It’s even been said that the actor is giving Robert Pattison a run for his money in the heartthrob department. Ironic, no?
