Can't take our eyes off him. (Instagram)

We predict that soon enough, Arabs will no longer be typecast as terrorists, taxi drivers or falafel vendors in Hollywood.

The proof is in the pudding: A-Listers are showing an appreciation for Middle Eastern brains and beauty more now than ever before.

We're not just talking about George Clooney's Lebanese wife Amal, Channing Tatum's Mrs. of Lebanese origin, Jenna Dewan or Zayn Malik's supermodel half-Palestinian GF, Gigi Hadid; American pop queen Britney Spears is dating a smokin' hot Iranian model too.

The superstar celebrated her bae's 23rd birthday this week, so we thought the least we could do to say happy birthday is to share our favorite things about Sam (real name Hesam Ashgari) the sex symbol with you!

He's a proud Persian

I came to this country 9 years ago from Iran, and to this day I still practice my Reading/writing in Farsi so I never forget where I came from #persian#farsi

He's determined

I was inspired, I was ambitious, and I wanted a change. I told myself that nothing was going to stop me, and nothing ever did. I was Inspired to work my ass off because my family worked way too hard for me to be here, I would never take any opportunities for granted , and will always will give it all I got. Things happen for you and not to you. Don't ever point any fingers #pizzaforlunch#oreosfordinner#doritosforlife
