Have we forgiven Henry Cavill for the Kaley Cuoco mess yet? I think I’ve forgiven him. I’m still not sure exactly what went down, but in the months following their breakup, I’ve gotten to the point where Kaley completely gets on my nerves, and I can’t blame a man for not wanting to be with her. It’s hard to believe the whirlwind of emotion Henry generated this year – at first I was simply giving him a chance to live up to the hype, then I fell for him, then I quickly fell out of love with him (the Kaley mess), then I was just sort of annoyed by him and now… I guess I just want him to get back on track. He is talented. And hot.
But here’s the real question: does Henry Cavill deserve to be named the “sexiest man of 2013”? That’s what just happened. Glamour UK voted for the sexiest (mostly British) men, and Cavill came out on top. Never fear, ladies. Tommy Hiddleston made the top five. As did Benedict Cumberbatch! Which means that Glamour UK voters are my kind of ladies. Unfortunately, I kind of think that any “Sexiest Man” list is made invalid by the presence of Justin Bieber, which totally happened. Here’s the list:
1. Henry Cavill
2. Robert Pattinson
3. Liam Hemsworth
4. Tom Hiddleston
5. Benedict Cumberbatch
6. Harry Styles
7. Chris Hemsworth
8. Idris Elba
9. Jamie Campbell Bower
10. Justin Bieber
11. Charlie Hunnam
12. Ian Somerhalder
13. Matt Bomer
14. Johnny Depp
15. Olly Murs
16. Michael Fassbender
17. Channing Tatum
18. Rafael Nadal
19. Matt Smith
20. Robert Downey Jr.
IN WHAT WORLD? In what world is Justin Bieber a “sexier” man (OMG!!!!!!!!) than Matt Bomer or Robert Downey Jr. OR MICHAEL FASSBENDER?!?!?! I’m actually perfectly fine with the top eight men. Those rankings are acceptable. But everything past #8 is pure idiocy. Incidentally, I had to look up “Jamie Campbell Bower” – RLY?! I guess the people voting for Justin Bieber voted for Jamie and Ian Somerhalder.

I’m what world are Benedict and Hiddles above RDJ, Bomer, Elba, Fassy, or Hunnam?
Lord the UK….
Be careful, on this site disparaging Hiddleywinks or Benny is an indictable offense, lol.
In all seriousness, I agree with you. In my mind RDJ practically IS the list. And don’t even get me started on the fact that Bieber is there, ugh.
I would have had Luke Evans on this list too
RDJ annoys me so much. I know I’m probably the only person on the planet who feels that way, but I can’t stand those “I’m awesome and I know it” people.
Hiddles and Matt Smith ( and Cumby on a good day) are the only ones that would make my list.
Spooks
It’s funny you say that about RDJ.
I always saw him as more humble after he got clean. The ego is more of an act for the public. In interviews he strikes me as very aware he’s flawed and very grateful he’s alive with his health and wife. He does dress in a quirky manner for some red carpets though.
“In my mind RDJ practically IS the list.”
Him and Idris, yeah. The list doesn’t need more than those two people.
Lobed RDJ in his early days but now I just find him little too arrogant. It’s Tom, Benny, Matt Smith and Johnny Depp for me although recently Tom Hardy had peaked my interest and of course Chiwetel Ejiofor who did not make the list.
This whole list is wrong. If a man on there is attractive (and there are only a handful that are) the order is wrong.
What criteria was used? Ugh.
I know right?
Yeah, Matt Bomer should’ve been top three. Damn, he’s fine.
Matt Bomer is hands down the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen, but sexy? I feel like he lacks sort of a warmth and sensuality (just like Cavill actually.) Tom Hardy, Idris Elba, Michael Fassbender, Jamie Dornan and Chris Hemsworth are men that exude SEXY to me.
Excuse me….considering we are providing a veritable smorgasbord of delectable men for you to fight over…………………. 🙂
Plus a freaky choice like Bieber is allowed. To remind one just how fine everyone else *is*. He is that shame you don’t admit even to yourself. Of course you blame the shed loads of mind altering substances needed to go there….
{in defence of UK}
Smorgasbord — one of my favourite words!
😀
How is Liam more attractive than Chris? The list is all kinds of wrong, booo!
And Ian Smoulderholder is ahead of Bomer? This list is like 99.9 incorrect, apart from Henry being #1 of course 😉
I prefer Chris too but Liam has the benefit of Hunger Games mania right now.
That was pretty much my one and only reaction. IN WHAT UNIVERSE?
Also, I’d hit most of that list, incl more budget choices like JCB (anyone who was in Harry potter is good in my book) and Somelhalder. Why not?
Chris is married and got another kid on the way with his wife. So maybe that is the reason.
But pictures of Chris holding that baby were far hotter than Liam has ever been. Not even close.
F@!k yes my baby Henry better be number one! Even though he has the charisma of a bowl of porridge. I rewatched The Tudors recently so that might be why I’m back to stan-for-Henry mode.
And LOL at Robert Pattinson being #2 even though he peaked looks-wise at around 2008/2009, and WHY is the lesser Hemsworth #3 and not Chris? Ugh.
Oh yeah. Henry had me the moment I saw The Tudors.
Yes M’am Henry was the hottest during the Tudors. Handsome, sweet but I don’t think I’d want to sit next to him at a dinner party…I need/want a good conversation
Yep, Tudors did it for me, too. Number one, indeed.
Tudors is the only thing I’ve ever seen Cavill in where I was attracted to him. He had some hot sex scenes on that show!
I’ve said it before, but Henry was my #1 for a few years, until I was three feet from the man, and I was so “meh” that it actually broke my heart. Broke my heart! He radiated the excitemend of warm string cheese.
I will have to re-watch the Tudors this weekend. He is a beautiful man!
kco says: “He radiated the excitemend[sic] of warm string cheese. ”
The above might be one of the funniest things I’ve ever read.
Just curious: Why did you feel he was only “meh”?
Did not know HC was in the Tudors but I have to say no one in the Tudors appealed to me at all. It all felt very plastic and made to order.
Justin Bieber is on the list. The List is therefore invalid.
I wholeheartedly agree.
And Harry Styles? Are the voters 16?
To be fair, they probably are. Anecdotally speaking, i’ve only ever seen teens with a copy of Glamour though they aren’t the target audience.
*applaud*
I don’t know. I don’t want to live in a universe where budget Hemsworth is ranked higher than Sex-gloves Cumby.
Shenanigans! The spare Hemsworth? Really?
AND a sparkly vampire?
At least if it were Chris, I could comfort myself with the fact that Miss Jane, Anna, and Marty probably rigged the vote. There’s no excuse for this nonsense.
Agreed Fanty! And I would congratulate those wonderful ladies for their brilliant planning.
Maybe that’s why he is on the list. They had a master plan, but then got drunk and confused.
We tried. We failed. I blame Remora. Because why not. Just just ruined my favorite moment of Thor 2.
It’s always Remora’s fault.
@Anna- Damn, I’m SO sorry Anna! I wasn’t going to tell you about that and I was hoping you wouldn’t find out. Sorry girl!
@T.Fanty- You know if we made a list there would be no top 10, more like a top 5. I’m glad Hunnam is on the list, I’ve loved that man for ages(so check yourself Kaiser!). 😉 But no Tom Hardy?!
Marty, dearest, actually Miss Jane tipped me off to the horrible news, but I don’t blame her, because I usually do a news search for my man in the morning, and today, having already read it, that story came up on top. Needless to say, not having a good day with it. I need some Dragonfly King comfort!
What happened?
This T.Fanty:
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/portman-wasn-kissing-hemsworth-final-thor-scene-article-1.1535144
Please. He showed more passion in Rush with a bunch of randoms, but that WAS Anna’s favorite scene. Sorry again Anna! I hope Miss J properly punishes for all his recent infractions.
Wow. Although to give her credit, Remora works hard for her money.
Seriously how did budget Hemsworth beat not just CHarms but Idris as well?! Stop the world, I’m getting off.
“Stop the world, I’m getting off. ”
That is my motto now.
At least their number 1 pick is far better than People Magazine.
Damning with faint praise. (Although actually I think Henry is a good choice).
Harry’s hair is looking more and more ridiculous as the days go by.
I was thinking the same thing. It looks like he got stuck in a wind tunnel.
I still do not think he was the one who dumped Kaley. I think the blind item was dead on and he truly liked her, wanted to date her and thought it would help his career in the process bc that’s what his PR told him to do.
I still love him and I still think he’s hot. But I think his New Year’s Resolution should be fm to get better taste in women. Bc he’s honestly one step away from Clooney in terms of liking women who come off like dumb, space cadets without class.
Dafuq is Budget doing hanging out above his brother?!!
And Bieber is ten places above RDJ?
NO.
Just no.
In what world is Justin Bieber sexy at all !? I just don’t understand how anyone could find the Joffrey of pop attractive in any way….I feel old now :/
Joffrey of pop is cracking me up! Thanks for the laugh.
This list is all kinds of wonky. Bad Glamour magazine, bad.
“Joffrey of pop”
http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r706/fearless1998/Taylor-Swift-Laughing-Gif-taylor-swift-30258989-500-245_zps729f523c.gif
Joffey of pop= best comment of 2013. That’s priceless.
LOL
@D – Truly EPIC comment… and from here on forth, let Bieber forever be crowned “The Joffrey of Pop” (trumpets blare)
P.S. I’d take Joffrey over Bieber any day of the week.
The hilarious Game of Thrones reference just made me sad that my pick for the sexiest man alive, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau/Jaime Lannister, never makes any of these lists 🙁
Richard Madden is also missing.
*sniff*
Amazing.
Justin Bieber rated higher than RDJ? Justin Bieber made the list at all?
This must be some sort of joke. No one could possibly think that little twerp belongs on a “sexiest man” list. Whatever credibility that magazine might have had is completely gone.
Liam Hemsworth is number 3??? How? And why are there so many children on the list? Jamie Campbell Bower, Bieber, and Harry Styles are all children right? Apparently I have a lot of questions, which is funny, because overall it’s a decent list. At least the inclusion of Rafa Nadal gives me hope for people.
Honestly I think it’s bc Glamour has a fairly young readership. I don’t particularly think the magazine is written for teens but a lot of really young women who are pretending to be grown ups read it. Hence, babies over men of actual substance.
I was going to say the same. The ‘women’ voting in this poll are probably mostly in their teens, so it makes sense that they’d choose men/boys close to their age.
Yes, they should have separated the men from the boys…
Yes! Rafael Nadal is one sexy man….now we just need to remove the likes of boys such as bieber and styles…just typing their names makes me shudder!
While I can get behind (and on top, on side, etc. etc.) some of the men in the Top 20, there is no doubt that mostly teens/young girls were the ones pushing the entire rank order enterprise.
The total list includes the top 100 and men like Daniel Craig, Brad Pitt, Jon Hamm and George Clooney are stacked at the bottom of the top 100… to give perspective Kellan Lutz ranks higher. Not even Kella Lutz thinks Kellan Lutz is sexier than these men.
FFS Justin Timberlake and the JoBros are considered sexier than Christian Bale and Garrett Hedlund !!
Taylor Lautner is ranked almost 20 spots ahead of Tom Hardy… Need I say more?
And the WORSE OFFENSE OF ALL???? The Scottish Thunder that lights up my forever dong sky, James McAvoy is not even in the top 100 list!
For shame Glamour U.K, for shame.
JMO, but flop list based on voting by obsessive stans. Henry is beautiful and deserves to be on there, and Hiddles gets by on his charm….the rest should be at the bottom though, and Idris Elba, Fassbender, RDJ, and Chris Hemsworth moved up to be in the top five. I think Henry is going to be huge after The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and B vs. S.
Henry Cavill is extremely handsome and has a near-perfect body. But he is NOT sexy. There’s something missing.
a personality?
That might be it!
Yup.
MTE. He’s a Ken doll.
He WAS sexy on ‘The Tudors’, I’ll give him that. Even though his acting ‘limitations’ were all too apparent. Maybe it’s because he spent much of the time half-naked, nobody was too bothered by his lack of personality? Perhaps he should do that more often.
Agree about Henry. Visually, he’s beautiful, but…there’s something missing behind the eyes. There’s no spark. Pretty but dull.
Anyway, these lists are silly. They only reflect who’s popular at the moment.
any list of “hottest” or “most talented” and any award regarding singers, writers, directors or actors is! it’ s either politics or popularity!
It seems like he’s got a broom stuck up his bum to me…but then the list is invalidated for me by the presence of Johnny Depp – well past his sell by date …and Justin Beiber – I know nothing about him outside of the sites and and have never heard one of his songs…
what the…..RPatz and Liam Hemsworth sexier than Cumby and Hiddles!!?? And Liam over his brother Chris??? COME ON!!
Any list that puts Michael Fassbender as #16 on the list…invalidates it for me.
In no known universe is Robert sexier than Hiddleston, Robert is cute at best, and he comes across as goofy/derpy/likable in interviews, never gotten his alleged sex appeal at all.
But Robert’s still more appealing than Justin. (But then again, so is a corpse)
@LadySlippers Oh heck yeah, of course, I’m not a twelve year old but he’s just never come across as “sexy” to me, I’ve always thought he was cute when he cleaned up but never sexy but I know he has a few devoted stans that think his jawline is the bets thing since sliced bread.
My daughter doesn’t like Justin. So I’m very grateful for that!
Am I the only one calling BS that Idris is #8?! No way he’s not top 3 to me!
Remember these are *young* women that read this magazine. They are usually late teens/early 20’s. Console yourself with the fact that they’ll be clamouring for the young ‘cuties’ leaving the real yummy *men* for us.
😉
How in the hell are Robert Pattinson and Liam (I’m going to steal someone’s term and call him Budget) Hemsworth higher on the list than Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston? And how in the hell is Budget Hemsworth higher on the list than Chris Hemsworth??
It’s interesting to see Matt Smith (the 11th Doctor) on the list. But! I don’t even like Matt Smith all that much but still think he is hotter/sexier than Beiber and a bunch of those people.
This list is pretty f-cked up.
Matt has the similar fan base to Cumberbatch and David Tennant before him. He was on a popular bbc show that lots of kids watch. So not that surprising.
Idris is HAWT but it feels like he is the only British non-white actor that gets tossed in these UK lists as a token?
What other black British actors do you find hot? Just curious.
I’m sorry, but of all the black British actors that have made it big, he *is* sex on legs by miles.
The rest really depend on taste. Let’s see:
David Haywood
David Oyelowu
Chewitel Ejiofor
Adewale Akinnuoye Agbaje
Adrian Lester
Colin Salmond
Ashley Walters
did i leave anyone out?
… Ricky Whittle? Crappy actor not so well known but damn that body though … ^___^
Clint Dyer
Elodie: Ricky Whittle…how could i forget. Didn’t know Clint Dyer, and i’ve googled him and though his CV is impressive, i still can’t place him. 🙁 Actually given his CV, why isn’t he more high profile???
There are some old school actors still knocking about and doing rather well even though they aren’t top of the tree anymore eg Don Warrington, Lennie James and Robbie Gee and Ram John Holder.
Henry Cavill is so goddamn boring. Tom Hardy is my #1.
What a lot of mingers.
How’s fassy at number 16? Justin at number 10? i’m confuse,this list is some bullsh!t!! Where on earth is pattison hotter than downey jr?
In which universe Matt Smith is even considered for this list and in which universe Charlie Hunnam and Ian Somerhalder are less sexy than Hiddleston.
Henry is gorgeous and talented. He deserves number 1. I’m glad he has kept a low profile for the past several months.
The ret of the list is random though. Weird.
But where’s Prince Harry? If he isn’t one of the sexiest men in the UK then I don’t know sexy. Or is it verboten to put royals on a list like this? Otherwise, I don’t want to live in a world where either Hemsworth is sexier than Idris Elba. Justin can be on the prettiest toddler list.
Henry Cavill is extremely beautiful. But sexy??? No way. This is one weird list. Justin Bieber and Olly Murs? Cosmopolitans list was better at least it didn’t seem like it was compiled by a bunch of 12 year olds.
Well, you can complain all you want about Henry being named sexiest man, or calling the UK crazy with its selection of men in this issue, but need I to remind you that Adam Levine was called sexiest man alive in America? At least Henry is gorgeous and absolutely more good looking than the American choice.
entirely absurd
Next year Theo James will be on the list. Remember him from Downtown Abbey. i His lips, skin tone. He’s “4” in the movie Divergent coming out in March 2014. He has a personality, not only is he handsome but sexy, can dance, plays an instrument and sings. Henry Cavill was my imaginary man but now we just hang out and eat pizza
Eeeeee MAH BOO is #1!!!!!!! Gosh for once they got it all right, the rest IDGAF!!!!!
Top 6 – good god. Lukewarm plain oatmeal and/or children. I don’t understand how Ideis isn’t #1.
No mcavoy?
This list is officially awful
he would’ve been at least in the top 5 of people’s magazine’s list if he hadn’t played the pr stunt with fameho cuoco.
Worst. List. Ever.
Cavill is about as sexy as a doorstop. He comes off as so blah in the personality department. But he is handsome, I will give him that.
Chris Hemsworth and Idris Elba deserve to be higher on that list (Liam Hemsworth is cute and all, but Chris is WAY sexier).
I am glad to see my boy Cumberbatch on there, though. Love him!
Wow, that list is all over the place. Some I agree with and some are just baffling. The US edition of Glamour doesn’t do a list like this. They instead do a Women of the Year in their December issue. I also suspect that their readership skews a little bit older than the UK edition so that may have something to do with it.
I thought this was the Sexiest MAN list. Bieber & Styles got to go.
I just can’t with Hiddleston. He plays a sociopath with daddy issues. I can’t understand the attraction to Loki; as ratchet as he is he’s got to be lousy in bed.
The fact that the majority of so called sexy men on this list are skinny metrosexuals worries me.
I don’t know what Glamour UK’s readership is right, but I graduated to the US version in high school and started getting bored of the magazine partway through college. That could explain the presence of all the teen stars, though at this point, I question anyone past puberty who finds Bieber attractive.
Even with that, there are still some choices that make me raise my eyebrows…but, hey, it’s probably a good thing that not everyone has the same taste.
*slow clap for the publicists*
People this is the same magazine that named Sparkles’s ex as “most fashionable”, twice! Sooooo take that as you will.
Henry Cavill always looks plastic to me, good looking in an old fashioned way but plastic.
Robert Pattinson always looks as if he needs a bath.
OMG that last sentence before the Top totally killed my lady boner
I am hoping Henry can recapture some of the Tudors mojo with Man from U, bec the Superman press tour did him no favors. He is gorgeous. Have no probs with the folks on the list save JBieber- fail to see how anyone over the age of 13 can find one redeeming feature!
Taylor Swift left a shirt behind and Harry Styles decided to wear it
Any sexy list with Bieber in it is a joke… Although People elected Devine as sexiest man alive, who the he*k does these lists? Lady gaga?
yes, Henry deserves it! ♥
Maxim had its Miley Cyrus mistake and Justin Bieber seems to be this mags mistake.
Sorry, but the wrong Harry is on that list. Should’ve been Prince Hot Ginge.
I’m So confused….I’m sorry but I don’t find Cumberbatch or Hiddleston sexy at all!!! Bieber still looks like a little kid playing a grown up!! Who makes these lists and what is wrong with their eyes??!!??!!
Well Henry deserved it.I honedtly don’t think there’s s man more handsome or sexier than Henry.Like he nails the “classicsl beauty” department but he also has the whole sexy thing going on.
As for the personality issues?I don’t know him so i can’t speak(and pretty sure you csn’t judge him either).But i sure as hell don’t think he is boring.The guy loves to party.Plus,watch The Tudors bloopers.He was hillarious.
Also…bieber?Styles?NO… JUst NO.It is just painful to watch Style’s nsme right above Chris Hemsworth.And Michael Fassbender not in the top 3?WTF?
I’ve just been reading the full list on a link I’ve found somewhere else and whilst giving my mental opinions on if they were right or not I read TommyAnne’s bit. Mistake me if I’m wrong but didn’t he say he was single in a few interviews recently? Or do you think he’s lying?
No Hiddleston isn’t lying, it’s just that the voting for this started at the end of July and that’s when Glamour wrote that profile. If you notice they also say he has 6 movies (what!) in his future and that is also incorrect.
Here’s the link http://torrilla.tumblr.com/post/56794408994/glamours-sexiest-men-of-2013-vote-now-who-is
I think they just rehashed what was happening six months ago.
I’d love to see Luke Evans in this list even knowing he’s a gay man. He’s an amazing actor and very handsome….
