It’s safe to say that Channing’s role as a stripper in “Magic Mike” may have had something to do with this win!

    Bradley won last year, but some unkind people suggested that he was too boring to win!

    Ryan became the first Canadian winner when he picked up this award in 2010.

    Johnny has won two awards, both while he was in his forties.

  5. George Clooney

    George won his first award in 1997, and then his second in 2006; he must be happy to see he’s not losing his touch.

  6. Brad Pitt

    Brad has won twice, presumably with completely different haircuts.

  7. John F. Kennedy, Jr.

    John F. Kennedy, Jr.

    John is the only non-actor to win, and also the youngest recipient at the age of 27. He is also, along with Patrick Swayze, one of only two winners who have since died.

  8. Sean Connery

    Sean is the oldest person to have won the award, at 59. He's also one of two winners to have played James Bond — Pierce Brosnan is the other.

Channing Tatum Named People's Sexiest Man Alive: Sexiest Winner Ever?

The readers of People Magazine have named 32-year-old heartthrob Channing Tatum the “Sexiest Man Alive” for 2012. The Alabama-born actor has most recently been seen in such critically acclaimed roles as a male stripper in “Magic Mike” and an undercover cop in “21 Jump Street.”

Tatum, who married actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum in 2009, was apparently shocked by the accolade, saying, "My first thought was, 'Y'all are messing with me.'" He wasn’t exactly at his sexiest when he found out; he told his wife after they’d been “in the bathtub washing our dogs because they'd gotten skunked."

In a People interview, Tatum says that he and Jenna are “ready” to have children and adds, "The first number that pops into my head is three, but I just want one to be healthy, and then we'll see where we go after that."

Jenna describes him as “such an open-hearted person” and says that "people know him to be fun and sexy, but they don't know how emotionally deep and spiritually open he is."

    Wish none of the above had been an answer. Sexy men alive are those who have brave hearts, sharp minds, awe inspiring spirits to go with those great bodies.... Navy Seals.

    I don't understand how one can be the Sexiest Man alive one year and not the next...if he's still ALIVE! It's all Bull doo doo anyway. Some of the most handsome men in the world are NOT famous....just your everyday Joe's. I remember back in the '70's one of my friends appeared in Ebony Magazine's Most Eligible Bachelor's edition. He was successful but not that attractive, and when friends encouraged me to send in some photos the following year because as they put it, I was far more attractive & eligible and more successful the magazine never included me. Later, I discovered that many of these kinds of recognition indicators are about connections, and in the case of this survey it's about who's HOT at the moment.

    The men on this list are indeed good looking men, but what happened to the Black, Asian, and Hispanic men? They are fine too. Idris Elba? He is a very handsome man. On the vanilla tip, why isn't Daniel Craig on this list? What in the hell is going on with this list?So many men have been left off.

    Channing Tatum is cute, but the sexiest man alive????? No way. He's kind of goofy looking and has a baby face. I don't find that sexy.

    There is no such thing as "sexiest man alive." We all have different opinions and viewpoint. It seems that people aren't considering that.

    By far Channing Tatum in my opinion is pretty damn sexy. I can't say he is the sexiest man alive but I will say he's the sexiest man I have ever seen.

    How can someone win the title "sexiest man alive" twice while the previous winner is still alive? They are apparently not the sexiest man alive anymore, since they lost it to someone else, but then they go around in win it again, despite their appearance not have changed and the previous winner still being alive.

    This contest is either rigged, or bullsh!t.

    You should really relax. It's a magazine who picks a handsome guy every year to be "Sexiest Man Alive", which people will agree or disagree with, but it causes a stir, which is exactly what they want. Now, to say its rigged it just hilarious, its not a presidential election. You may not agree with the pick, but come on, why would you care this much. LOL

    No, I don't give a damn about the contest. I'm just sincerly curious as a person can be named sexist man alive before the current winner, and then win it the following year, even though the previous winner is still alive?

    Depp can be anyone he wants to be, anyone he has to be, and he is has an amazing personality.



    I love Channing, I find him sexy and all that, but Depp and Clooney both are so incredibly sexy. There is something about the way they carry themselves and how they can make any character so real and attractive... alluring.

    You need to be sexy to make a character such as Sweeny Todd sexy.

    Also congrats to Tatum cause he is sexy.
    And where the heck is Hugh Jackman on that list?
