The annual Sexiest Man list is used to determine who the hottest men across the entertainment industry are, whether be it in film, television, sports, music, or modeling. Over the years, there have been numerous names that have come and gone. But there were also men who have left a lasting imprint when it comes to the hotness factor, especially amongst their fans.
Here is a look at who have made it into the Sexiest Man Alive list for the past few years.
Sexiest Dads
Whether they are toting their little ones or doing the house errands, these dads never fail to put their swag on. Get to know some of the hottest dads in Hollywood.
Matt Damon
Matt Damon is probably the most unassuming sexiest man in the world. After years of campaigning by his Ocean’s Eleven buddies Brad Pitt and George Clooney, Matt Damon topped the list for the sexiest man in the industry for the year 2007. However, Damon is bourne for this title with his boy-next-door charm, piercing blue eyes, witty sense of humor, and a family guy demeanor. All of these reasons combine to demonstrate why he is deserving of this title in the first place. At 41, this sexy dad continues to sweep women from all over the world off their feet with his superb acting abilities and charm that doesn’t seem to fade away.
Johnny Depp
When talking about the sexiest men list, there is one name that will never go missing on the list – Johnny Depp. Despite being in the show business for as much as 25 years, Depp’s natural charm never gets old on the audience. There is also nothing more attractive to women than a man who is comfortable in his own skin. And that is one of the main qualities that make Johnny Depp deserving of the sexiest man title.
He describes being with his “kiddies” as the happiest times of his life. His rock solid passion for family and kids, therefore, make him one of the sexiest family men in the world. With his killer cheek bones and special skills in acting, you can expect Depp to hang around the hottest men’s list for some time.
Patrick Dempsey
Patrick Dempsey is best known for his role in Grey’s Anatomy wherein he plays Dr. Shepherd. The 40-something actor is father to 3 kids and is married for over 8 years. But still, the audience (women, especially) cannot help but take notice of Dempsey’s irresistible charm, which is evident on- or off-screen.
David Beckham
If there is something that David Beckham is more famous for aside from his soccer skills, it would have to be his beautiful physique and face. He is also well lauded for his fashion sense as Beckham always dresses in style. His fashion taste is not all that surprising though given that he is husband to Victoria Beckham, or better known as Posh Spice.
David Beckham is the face of many popular ads, but his most famous is the Armani underwear endorsement for the US. Because of this, he is not only one of the sexiest dads in the world, but also one of the top earning athletes in the world.
Hugh Jackman
This former sexiest man in the world title holder is a triple threat because he is talented in acting, dancing, and singing. The scruff-looking dad from Down Under is looking masculine as ever with his 6’2” built that make it nearly impossible not to notice him. Even his Australia co-star and fellow Australian actor Nicole Kidman agree that 2008’s Sexiest Man Alive is a head-turner. According to Kidman, “[w]omen’s jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room.”
Brad Pitt
Here is one of the hottest dads in the world. Aside from his undeniable rugged good looks, charm, and sex appeal, one other factor that makes Brad even more attractive to women is the fact that he is a true-blue family man. Nowadays, you won’t see him walking around without his kids. And it seems as though Brad is only looking better as he gets older.
Sexiest Musicians
Jon Bon Jovi
Rockers age well and Jon Bon Jovi is the purest epitome of this adage. Despite the fact that he is almost 50, he has maintained that look that made him an 80′s heartthrob at the prime of his career as a rock star. In fact, the famous rocker that was also best known for his hair proudly admits, that he is “[looking] better now” in an interview. He also quips, “I haven’t had plastic surgery.”
Tim McGraw
The country crooner is best known not only for being one of the sexiest country singers that the music industry has ever seen, but also for being lucky enough to have a beautiful wife in fellow country artist, Faith Hill. The combination of his good looks and sultry voice is irresistible to his million fans in the world. And this is reason enough for him to make it to the list of sexiest man in the world.
Justin Timberlake
Formerly a front runner in the popular 90′s boy band, N*Sync, Justin Timberlake took the spotlight when he went solo in his music career. He definitely brought sexy back upon the release of his first solo album, Justified. Fans from all over the world were smitten by his irresistible charm, sexy moves, and that monumental curly hair. He is also recognized as one of the most eligible bachelors in the world today.
Sexiest Imports
Ryan Reynolds
The reigning sexiest man alive in the year 2011 has had a great professional career this past year, despite a recent divorce to an equally hot ex-wife, Scarlett Johansson. The Green Lantern star has the combination of a handsome face, fit body, and an on-screen charm that had made him one of the hottest Hollywood stars in the past few years.
Jude Law
He might have had a troubled past and a divorce that resulted from his cheating ways, but girls from all over the world can’t deny that Jude Law has got “it”. He has supernatural good looks despite seemingly not trying. Plus, his supersize acting skills make him one of the most celebrated actors in Hollywood today.
Leonardo DiCaprio
You know you have reached the most eligible bachelor status when you are dating one supermodel after another. And that is exactly what has been up with Leonardo DiCaprio, which is also one of Hollywood’s most renowned actors in this decade. The 36-year-old actor is best known for his eco advocacies and a no non-sense approach to life, which makes him attractive to women not just for his looks, but also for his depth and substance. That is something that Gisele Bundchen, Bar Refaeli, and Blake Lively, among other girls he’s dated in the past, would agree on.
Robert Pattinson
With millions of teenage girls screaming his name and fainting at his sight, there must be something about Rob Pattz that make him one of the sexiest man in the world. The debut of the Twilight series in the box office was ground-breaking and since then, Rob Pattinson has established his own massive fan base that is predominantly made up of teenage girls swooning over his good looks and unmatched charisma.
So, what are the criteria for the sexiest man alive? It is not just skin deep and superficial good looks. Based on the quality of men who have made it to the top of the Sexiest Man annual list, it also takes talent, success, and a unique attitude in life to make girls swoon over these men.
