Making the list this year are newcomers like Freida Pinto and her Slumdog Millionaire co-star (and rumored boyfriend) Dev Patel. And then there are the old stand-bys, like Miley Cyrus, Shia LaBeouf, and Scarlett Johansson.
Regardless of being new or old to the list, these “kids” have established themselves in Hollywood, apart from all the thousands of other young actors in LA.
The real vets of the list are Rob Pattinson, Megan Fox, Michael Cera, and Keira Knightley.
The question is…do they have the staying power to make the next inevitable jump for the best 30 under 30? Check out the list here, and check out these hot Hollywood youngens!

The couple, who have been dodging romance rumors for months, were reportedly caught kissing last week in Israel after Dev flew into town to see Freida on the set of her new movie Miral.
While they've both denied claims that they're dating in the past, Dev's mother has finally spilled the beans about their romance, and she couldn't be happier!
Dev's mother Anita tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "First it was the film and now everything else seems to have slotted into place. Life can’t get any better for him. Freida is really beautiful and I am really happy for them. Yes, we knew he was flying to Israel to see her."
That's quite the confession! Wonder what Freida's estranged husband thinks about all this?!

Anil attended a private party at Beso in Hollywood last night honoring Salma Hayek. And partygoers and media outlets were all buzzing about the star, and greeted him with open arms.
Hollyscoop caught up with the actor to get his thoughts on the possibility of Dev and Danny making a special appearance on 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire.'
When asked if he would want to host the 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' Slumdog edition show, he said he would like to "take on the role as host and have Freida Pinto in the hot seat."
In regards to other hosting duties, he said he wanted to host a type of show that had never been done before, "something different," he explained.
Dev Patel and Slumdog director Danny Boyle are already trying to sync up their schedules so they can participate in the hit show.
“Filming of the special depends on when both are available, as they are in huge demand following their Oscar success. But we hope it will happen later this year," said a source.
"To have Dev back in the Millionaire hot-seat would be brilliant, and would do a lot for the charity.”
“Danny and Dev would play together, as with all our celebrity specials, but filming depends on their availability," added the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? producer Celador.
So far the plan is to have Dev in the hot seat and have Freida as his lifeline, which would mimic the hit movie.
Sounds like a brilliant idea to us, especially since all the money will go to the children’s charity Railway Children, which helps children living on the streets. And having Anil host the program would be the cherry on the sundae!

Here are some highlights from the interview:
Anil:
“I have been in films as a leading man for the last 25 years. I’d done over 100 films as a hero. My son said, ‘Dad, enough of playing a good man – you have to do this.’ I started shooting, and I changed as a human being. I am from a very simple background, almost like from the slums. Now, what a special time. It’s magic.”
Dev:
“I was a 17-year-old kid. I didn’t really know where I was going to end up,” he says. “And this film sort of fell in my lap. It feels like destiny in a way. Even now, the film winning the Oscar is very surreal. The character’s given me so much, not only as an actor but as a person. I remember when production began, I was a ball of nerves, didn’t really know how to work in front of a camera or how to express myself. I was a lot more introverted. And Danny Boyle came along – and this incredible city, which taught me about being an optimist. I feel I can hold my head up high now. I feel like I matured five years in the space of five months. I’m 18 and I was at the Oscars yesterday!”
Freida:
“I was struggling. I was presenting this travel show. I was coming to the end of it and had enjoyed the nine months of traveling. I was like, Oh, now my life’s over. I’m not going to have anything interesting to do. I was frustrated that I hadn’t found the right project. But now I think that the fruit of the struggle ends up being the sweetest taste possible. I mean, this is strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples, bananas – the sweetest fruits in the world put together. It changed my life. It made me grow. It’s made me equipped to brave challenges in the future. You can’t predict the future, but I do have this optimism and this hope that if I just continue dreaming and continue working the same way, then I’ll be unstoppable.”

The Slumdog Millionaire star will reportedly go on the hit show alongside Oscar winning director Danny Boyle.
In Slumdog, Dev plays orphan Jamal from the slums of Mumbai, who wins the jackpot in India’s version of the show.
A source said: “Danny and Dev are keen to keep on giving back to the street kids, and have been talking to Railway Children about appearing on Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
“Filming of the special depends on when both are available, as they are in huge demand following their Oscar success. But we hope it will happen later this year.
"To have Dev back in the Millionaire hot-seat would be brilliant, and would do a lot for the charity.”
They may even line up his co-star Freida Pinto for the "phone a friend" option — echoing the hit film’s story line, reports the UK Sun.
A spokeswoman for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? producers Celador said: “We were approached by Railway Children about doing the special — and we think it would be fantastic.
“Danny and Dev would play together, as with all our celebrity specials, but filming depends on their availability.”
What a great idea! We would absolutely love to see Dev try and 'be a millionaire' for a good cause. Such a brilliant idea! And to have Danny Boyle join in? Perfection.

The movie is nominated for 10 Oscars and almost every cast member was on the red carpet today, including the adorable little Latika and Jamal (Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail and Rubina Ali).
Oscars aside, the question on everyones mind was whether or not Dev Patel and Freida Pinto are dating off screen.
Ryan Seacrest was very persistent while trying to get that answer out of Dev and Freida. And after dodging him several times, Patel finally answered, "No, no, no."
Freida then joked with Ryan telling him that even though the movie has been very succesful, "No one has called to ask me out."
It was was a very uncomfortable interview because Ryan kept pushing for an answer and they kept dodging him. It took them a while to deny it which makes us think that they are an item. What do you guys think? Do Dev and Freida make a cute couple?

Now we’re hearing rumors that the reason for the breakup is because she’s in a new relationship! And the new guy is allegedly her Slumdog Millionaire co-star Dev Patel!
Anil Kapoor, who played the game show host in the film, alluded to the fact that the two are more than just friends. He said, "I think this is the beginning of something exciting. They definitely make a great pair and look very good together. When I meet them I feel there is something happening.”
Scandalous! We love it! They were absolutely adorable together in the movie, so we totally can see these two together. And it would make some sense of her sudden break-up with her fiancé/husband.
How do you feel about this possible new Hollywood couple?
