Who will be People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2014?

hiddles1

Just FYI: Tom Hiddleston is not going to be the Sexiest Man Alive. This was just a naked click-bait. And it worked! #DragonflyMasterBaiter

Last Friday, LaineyGossip did her annual predictions/prognostications for who will be this year’s Sexiest Man Alive for People Mag. Her theory is that it’s probably Chris Pratt’s year, because he successfully transitioned from “hard-working film and TV character actor” to “movie star holding down a major Marvel franchise.” While Pratt would be a good choice for that sort of “middle America” feel, I still have major doubts as to whether Pratt really “hit it” as hard as people think. I mean, obviously, Guardians of the Galaxy was a huge hit. But is Pratt a household name? Or is he still “that guy in that movie, and he’s on Parks & Rec”? And in case you think I’m throwing shade at Bedhead’s man, she has her doubts about whether he’s really SMA headliner material too. We think for sure he’ll make the list, but the cover boy? Eh.

My guess is Prince Harry… or George Clooney. I think Clooney is still a big-ass deal, especially to People Mag’s readership. People’s readers don’t know what to make of this Amal person with her perfect hair, perfect job, perfect clothes and now perfect husband. The only thing making me question whether Clooney would agree to it is that he doesn’t have any films coming out this fall/winter. His next film is Tomorrowland, and that’s not out until May 2015. But! He’s getting the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes. Maybe he wants another SMA title to just bring it home.

But Prince Harry is popular with People’s readers too. He’s the single prince, the ginger prince, the prince who has grown up and is in the process of fulfilling his mother’s legacy of charitable good work. But like George, Harry doesn’t really have anything to promote right now. The Invictus Games are over and Harry is working a desk job.

So maybe it will be someone else. Brad Pitt? Eh. Hiddleston? Ha! He would agree to it (and love it), but he doesn’t have anything to promote right now. Benedict Cumberbatch? Oooh, the Cumberbitches would freak!!! Batfleck? Blergh. Michael Fassbender? Nope. So, who do you think it will be? At this point, anyone (LITERALLY ANYONE) would be better than our reigning SMA, Adam Levine. Gross. I would even take Bradley Cooper again rather than have to call Levine the Sexiest Man Alive.

    Chriss Pratt seems to be the obvious choice, like it or not.

    • What? says:

      He’s hot so, I like it. I’m shallow like that.

    • OhDear says:

      My guess is that it’ll probably be him, too. He’s not my type, but he would certainly not be a bad choice.

    • lucy2 says:

      I’m thinking you’re right. He had the biggest movie of the year, by far, and had a pretty great publicity run with it.
      He’s also in the next Jurassic Park movie, right? I think once P&R ends (sob) he’s going to be very in demand.

    • Ginger says:

      I hope it’s him. I was enthralled with his Instagram posts of his transformation that’s for sure!

    • charity says:

      I think the sexiest man alive is Anson Mount from Hell On Wheels. hands down. check him out if you don’t believe me.

    • Charlie says:

      Am I the only on who liked him better when he was chubby? He was so adorable. I mean, if he’s happier now more power to him, but physically, I liked him better when he was heavier.
      Tom Hiddleston would be great, too
      Prince Harry is as sexy as a wet noodle ( is that the right expression?)
      .

    • Isadora says:

      I would be fine with that. He can french braid hair, he is happily married, he seems like a nice guy and he’s looking fine. I like it.

  2. ncboudicca says:

    #DragonFlyMasterBaiter Certainly worked on me, well played!

    • LadySlippers says:

      Yup. Me too. Lol

      *hangs head in shame*

      • sigh((s)) says:

        Ha. I knew he’d never be SMA, but still I clicked. Why not? Any picture is a good picture, no matter the article attached. Yum.
        🙂

      • LadySlippers says:

        •sigh((s))•

        True! Any good reason to drool over sexy men works for me as well.

      • sigh((s)) says:

        I do love that pic where it looks like he’s all scrunched up in a box. Like a Christmas present.

    • Lilacflowers says:

      I MISS MY DRAGONFLY KING!!! I seriously don’t think he is even on People’s radar at the moment . Also the subjects don’t have to agree and quite a few haven’t. They use old photographs and do a write-up without an interview.

      • jammypants says:

        Next year makes more sense. This year…not really. He’s been completely off radar.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        He’s never actually been on their radar. Maybe if they do a “Men of Marvel” section, they’ll include him.

      • MountainRunner says:

        Here Here! Snaps of him in that red plaid shirt are driving me crazy. I confess, I love the country boy look on him.

        I’ll probably be sick of his mug by next Spring, but I need a happy Brit to balance out the dour one I keep seeing here…

      • icerose says:

        I found this Top actors of the world lit and Tom and Benny were not even on it. There were two or three UK actors but the only one I remember is Ian Mckellan.
        Mind you it was strange list – actors from the middle east etc and Al Pacino was no 1??
        http://www.toplistoftheworld.com/category/movies/top-actors-top-actresses/
        Tommy will always be sexiest actor to me and I do not need a competition to prove it. Having said that -I think he one in the UK.

    • That’s okay….he’ll always be the thinking woman’s SMA, won’t he ladies?

  3. Amelia says:

    Yeah, I only clicked because of the Dragonfly King.
    Well played, Kaiser.

  4. joe spider says:

    Doubt Tom’s been seen out and about enough this year – too busy working which is good.

  5. lisa2 says:

    I like Chris.. and he is a cute guy.. SMA no, but that title lost it’s REAL a long time ago. I remember when I saw the SMA on the cover and it was without a doubt the right choice. Then they started picking men based on gossip mentions and such. Believe it or not just because someone is popular on gossip sites doesn’t equal the real world.

    Now they are picking these EVERY MEN and yes the every man is sexy.. but not the way it was meant for SMA..

    I haven’t bought an issue of SMA in years.

    • I get it in the hope that someone sexy might actually win the thing. prince Harry-clooney-Pratt? I’m sure pratt is a nice guy and he’s had a hit film but the raccoon or the tree are sexier. Even the omnipresent Benedict CabbagePatch would be preferable. It’s Tommy of course but he won’t win.

  6. Stef Leppard says:

    I don’t think Harry would agree to a photo shoot and interview so it won’t be him. It’s probably Batfleck.

    • CM says:

      I’m with you on both counts. I mean, I’m not too happy about it, but Affleck makes sense. He’s riding high at the moment career-wise and he has a peachy-perfect-camera-friendly family too….

    • Luca76 says:

      Way back in the 80s JFK Jr. was SMA without an interview or photoshoot just candids of him taken by the paparrazi so there is precedent.

    • Dubois says:

      My thoughts exactly. In what universe would the Queen consent to Harry being interviewd for Sexiest Man Alive?

    • Size Does Matter says:

      Prince Harry was my first thought, but I bet you’re right.

      Can I nominate Jason Momoa?

    • Lilacflowers says:

      I always thought that very few of them ever agreed to it and quite a few, like Depp, considered it an embarrassment.

    • vauvert says:

      Anyone else thinking Cavill? I was not sure about him at first but now, the guy has really grown on me. sure Tommy would be my first pick but he has been too quiet lately.

  7. Artimis says:

    Really? I have to choose out of that lot? ;D Lorks. Okay, Chris Pratt, because he is funny. The rest you can keep (esp. Fassbender, who I still cannot see the allure in but then I don’t go for abusers so…)

    Give me Jensen Ackles and I’ll be happy, thanks.

    • Joanne_S says:

      Hear hear! Jensen is the SMA every single year in my book.
      Adam Levine? Don’t make me laugh!
      Wouldn’t mind Chris Pratt, though.

      • kri says:

        Thank god I’m not the only one who looks at Jensen Ackles and thinks “Unf”. He is actually stunning to look at it. He is as technically beautiful as Angelina Jolie. He’s
        actually my pick if they ever re-boot ( and no, the should not) Indiana Jones. But if they did, he would be perfect.

    • gia says:

      You are perfectly entitled to your opinion regarding Fassbender,but when his ex’s shady story has become a fact?

  8. Really says:

    Charlie Hunnam as Lainey said wins for this video of the Men’s Health photoshoot alone.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woxcWKXqRv0

    • Teresa_Maria says:

      I would not mind Charlie Hunnam as SMA.
      Not at all.

    • Elle says:

      This. If we’re truly going for “sexy,” Hunnam wins in spades. There are a lot of attractive men in Hollywood, but Hunnam oozes sex.

      Unfortunately, I think Lainey is right that it won’t be him. if nothing else, it doesn’t seem like Hunnam is interested in appealing to People’s demographic.

    • Isadora says:

      Yeah, Hunnam would be a good choice… because he certainly IS easy on the eyes and you know… he is in Crimson Peak with the Dragonfly King and if people go and see that one because Hunnam is SMA, then I’m totally fine with it. Yes to box office success and bonuses for the Tomster. 😀 (Am I having a stage mum moment here? Sorry, can’t help it.)

    • xpreson says:

      Charlie Hunnam is my prediction as well.

  9. littlemissnaughty says:

    Seems like there’s no one more suited than Chris Pratt, right? And my gawd, I completely blocked out Bradley Cooper, THAT was not cool. Only then they chose Levine and I stopped caring altogether.

    I’m voting Eddie Redmayne but that’s not happening of course. Talent and skill are sexy as hell though.

    • Joanne_S says:

      “And my gawd, I completely blocked out Bradley Cooper, THAT was not cool.”

      I know, right! Seriously, I still haven’t gotten over Ryan Gosling not getting the award that year 😛

  10. Emily says:

    I feel like they usually pick an old guy for these things.

  11. InvaderTak says:

    Prince Harry. The rest meh.

    And you totally got me with the click bait lol

  12. Lori says:

    I’m going with that Ian Somerhaulder (spelling) dude. I know he’s not a movie star but he has a lot of fans, is more than willing to shill, and the whole Adam Levine thing proves they don’t need a movie actor anymore.

  13. db says:

    This reminds me of much loved and missed Dong Fridays!

  14. Tiffany says:

    Oscar Issac, Chadwick Boseman, Anthony Mackie. Any one of them will do as I will actually buy the issue

    • CandyKay says:

      I agree with Tiffany! We need a little color in this line-up. It’s waaaay too vanilla for my taste.

    • Kim1 says:

      HaHaHa
      People Magazine will go out of business if the SMA isn’t White.
      Just kidding of course

      Chadwick is an excellent actor .Congrats to him for being Marvel’s first Black Superhero

      • May says:

        A black guy or any person of colour is long overdue.

      • jen2 says:

        They had Lupita as most beautiful, so I doubt they would do a man of color in the same year. Pratt is the “everyman” like Damon a few years ago, but does not scream “sexy” to me. Nice yes, sexy, no. And I don’t agree with most of their choices lately anyway. Most are who has the best publicist. We shall see.

    • bluhare says:

      Idris Elba.

  15. May says:

    Rob patz needs that kind of thing but he is not thirsty enough. Hiddles is thirsty but will never get it, hasn’t got a big enough career.
    Chris Pratt would be my guess!

  16. Ms. Lib says:

    You nailed it about…” this Amal person with her perfect hair, perfect job, perfect clothes and now perfect husband.” But you left out: perfect teeth, complexion, figure, etc. Oh well, now she has George and I am not ready to name him the perfect husband but time will tell.
    And you are so right about Adam Levine. He is semi-good on The Voice but Sexiest Man Alive????? Please – is this a money making event for People Mag?

  17. Maya says:

    How about Chris Pine or Chris Hemsworth?

    Now those men are divine.

    • Elle says:

      I don’t think Pine is high-profile enough (and his personal life wouldn’t appeal to People’s readers), but Hemsworth isn’t a bad choice. Attractive family, great body, personable … but does he have any big projects coming out?

      • vauvert says:

        Wait, what is going on with Pine? I love him, but know zero about his private life. Anything dark and sexy? Share the gossip!

      • Elle says:

        Vauvert:

        Nothing scandalous, although he did have a DUI conviction earlier this year. He just tends to serially date / hook up with young models and reality show stars (Audrina Partridge, Olivia Munn – there were some leaked photos of hers that she had supposedly sent to him). Alice Eve even joked about his womanizing during the Star Trek press tour.

        Nothing dark and sexy, just that I don’t think he’s what People wants out of their SMA. And I also don’t think he would want it. He seems to prefer his privacy … although he does have two big movies coming out in the next couple of months.

        I’m looking forward to his role in Horrible Bosses 2 – from the clips I’ve seen, I have a feeling he’s going to own that role. Despite his leading-man looks, he shines when put into supporting character roles.

    • Isadora says:

      Yes, Chris Hemsworth would also be fine and he has Black Hat coming out (don’t know exactly when, though).

      • Josa says:

        Chris Hemsworth will have a big first half of 2015. BlackHat on 1/16/15. Heart of the sea on 3/15/15. Average on 5/1/15.

      • Josa says:

        By Average, I mean the extraordinary Avengers. LOL. I’m feeling a little dizzy after attempting to read everything from those CumberProposal threads.

  18. kibbles says:

    The Otter King. lol. j/k

  19. Fiona Mary says:

    Master Baiter….teehee

  20. Snazzy says:

    I vote for Bill Murray
    There really is no one else

  21. Karen says:

    Id agree with Pratt but it tends to go to men who’ve been on the big scene for a long time. And Pratt is new to most People readers.

    I def think a super hero though: RDJ. He’s also pushing for the Judge in award season. Its probably an actor again.

    Prince Ginger is too British for the award plus i don’t see him doing an interview.

  22. Ginger says:

    Kaiser you hooked me!!! I’m going to go with some of the other posters here and bet that it’s either going to be Chris Pratt or Ben Affleck.

  23. Really says:

    I’d love Charlie Hunnam or Timothy Olyphant because they actually have so much sexual energy.

  24. Coconut says:

    Lenny Kravitz, of course!!

    • Josefa says:

      Now THAT is one choice I’m down for. Lenny is sexy. Not just good looking. He just oozes sex appeal.

  25. 'P'enny says:

    He is way to classy for People magazine. But, appreciate the click-bait especially such a brilliant lovely sexy photo.

    So he’s the Tom gossip,

    He’s been filming 14-15 hour days, singing his heart out and entertaining the extras in the make-up truck and on set. The extra’s [men and women] are falling for him. Unfortunately, any extra caught to be a fan before ending up on set as an extra are uncharacteristically axed. ‘poor things’ :-p

    the fan girls are not as lucky this time, getting selfies, only one or two have been fortunate enough to nail him. One rather rudely interrupted his dinner with other cast members ‘face palm’ and the other put a rather loud t-shirt with his face on and distracted him from filming.

    There is a great, but tiny, video of him with brown contact lenses in thanking the people of Shreveport. And, good god, he is looking skinny.

    Rodney Crowell, put a snippet on his Facebook saying how ‘soulful’ Tom’s singing is and Rodney’s daughter has released a nice relaxed pic of Tom and Rodney singing.

    We had a blurry sneaky pic of Elizabeth Olsen and her magic pillows being a comfort to hiddles’s cheeks. ‘cow’

    Marvel, SKull Island, Night Manager we all know about. But, there was another snippet on twitter about the possibility of James Ivory still wanted Tom… he needs to hurry up. Poor man is getting on a bit.

    • et alors says:

      Don’t forget the two Muse of Fire interviews that were leaked early due to a glitch and which have since been taken down, wherein he speaks passionately about Shakespeare (natch) and discusses how he bombed his audition for Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean because he got drunk the night before.

      • 'P'enny says:

        HAHAAA

        Cant wait to see those two videos in all the glory, thanks for the reminder. And, he thought the script was rubbish, well he wasn’t wrong.

        I am glad he didn’t get it. I couldn’t see him as Orlando Bloom’s role. I can see him in Jack Davenports. But he was so young then. nooo.

      • Dara says:

        Can you imagine the alternate universe where he was Will Turner? Would he now have Orlando Bloom’s career trajectory? Perish the thought. I for one am glad he tanked that particular audition. I bet he is too…now. But when the movies first came out I can imagine he was flogging himself with regret.

      • Elle says:

        I don’t think Orlando Bloom is a great actor, but he really was perfect for Will Turner. He does the long-haired period look so well.

      • Dara says:

        @Elle – Orlando really was made for that role. I thought he and Keira were the best thing about those movies. Depp was mildly amusing in portions and had some really great 1-liners, but he got on my nerves after a while.

      • Isadora says:

        I just imagined this alternate universe where Tom is Will Turner… and Orlando Bloom is Loki. 😀 Oh my god, so glad it didn’t happen (in both cases). But it’s funny that he still ended up being a pirate in a Disney movie (The Pirate Fairy thing or whatever it is called)! Haha…

      • Dara says:

        Isadora, now that is some alternate universe! I think it all worked out the way it was supposed to, thank goodness.

        I’ve managed to avoid hearing/seeing any of that Pirate Fairy thing – I’m saving my first exposure to Singing Tom for the Hank Williams movie.

    • Josa says:

      Thank you for the updates. Adding one more to the update list is that pair of shoes for that charity auction. Here is the result: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tom-Hiddleston-039-s-Signed-Jimmy-Choo-Shoes-Size-45-/171509202339?pt=UK_Collectables_Memorabila_RL&hash=item27eebebda3&nma=true&si=o7RNj4x7OEiWQcRgRTRW1Y9vp40%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
      A bargain, really. His Signed Converse Trainer sold for £4,500 if I remembered correctly.

    • icerose says:

      Well Penny he is playing a skinny guy who towards the end of his life was positively anorexic. I think he only ate eggs or something like that.
      Do not forget his Tom’s hat fittings.i can see the Fedora becoming a staple part of his wardrobe.
      “”””Thanks everyone, I can tell you this, the dictator is dead set on this being right, he made a statement to me that this movie on Hank was going to show him alot in a fedora hat ( 2 5/8” bound edge , with a 5 3/4” open crown, shape with a diamond crease) when he does his western music scenes he will be wearing two different style of western hats we made based on one hat that we see him wearing alot, with the leather hat band with the silver all on it with a buckle set, the other hat will be one that all of the people there today loved what we made, I’ll keep that style under wrap a little longer, but it is a cool looking western hat, with a very hard crease to do.
      I have to make two more Fedora hats for Tom both will be used in the film, Tom left today with one of the Fedora hats and was told to wear that hat every day until they start shooting toward the 3rd week of Oct, and they wanted him to wear it each day on the movie set, and will change hats as needed for some scenes, so we are making a second hat just like the one he took today and will use in the movie for most of the movie. BTW He loved the hat and told me several times, he now feels like Hank with the hat on.”””

    • Lilacflowers says:

      And Idris Elba has revealed what many of us long believed – Tom is in Age of Ultron. Is Idris still alive? Has anyone seen him in the past week?

      • 'P'enny says:

        Idris Elba has been in his twitter a couple of times since loki-gate & he’s been flogging his new record – surprise surprise. Made no apologise I hope behind the scenes he’s got a big b@&£)(ing .

      • joe spider says:

        He’s got a big what?

      • A big ego and a big mouth joe spider. He’s quite annoying in an advert at the moment, it’s not working for me coS I can’t remember what he is selling.

      • joe spider says:

        Oh, how disappointing.

        But apart from that I agree Anne tommyharry, I got that impression about his ego a while ago, and now we all know about his big mouth. And you are right, that advert is annoying.

  26. joe spider says:

    @ ‘P’enny

    ” the possibility of James Ivory still wanted Tom… he needs to hurry up. Poor man is getting on a bit.”

    Hopes James doesn’t read that. 🙂

  27. lunchcoma says:

    My bet is Chris Pratt. Women love him, men like him, and he’d definitely do the interview.

    If it’s not him, I think it’ll be either RDJ or someone who’s done it before – George Clooney or Matthew McConaughey. I do not think it will be Prince Harry. My interpretation of last year’s embarrassing choice is that People isn’t willing to do a write-around and use an old photo. They want someone who will give them new material. Harry’s not going to play that game, so he’s not going to be their choice.

    • TheCountess says:

      Exactly. Runners-up will cover those who refused to be interviewed. The winner is going to be someone who plays nice with People.

  28. Mrs Darcy says:

    Fassbender! where has he disappeared anyway?!

  29. may23 says:

    Just not Ben Affleck! Others work for me equally.

  30. Maria says:

    Probably Pratt, I can’t see Cumberbatch getting it unless it’s a UK magazine, no offense to the collective, but he’s not exactly what most Americans consider to be classically handsome.

    Clooney has lost his looks but who knows..
    Harry is okay but I don’t see it.
    Hiddleston hasn’t had as much coverage (tho I wish he did because as cheesy as he may be, he seems genuinely delightful) .
    I doubt Pitt will get it.
    Fassy isn’t mainstream enough tho why that is I’ll never know given he can out act most of his peers.

    After the Levine mess I have no faith in People, lol.

  31. TheCountess says:

    It’s a PR thing (the ‘winner’ now cooperating with an interview and all), so it’s going to be someone looking for a media push. These days, that would seem to be Pratt (solidifying his new box office clout), Cumberbatch (wants an Oscar) or Clooney (has become a complete media sell-out).

    • lunchcoma says:

      That sounds about right to me, though I don’t think Cumberbatch is seriously in the running. I mean, I think he’d happily do the interview if he is chosen, but I think he’s too niche. The average People reader only pretends to have seen Twelve Years a Slave, has never seen Sherlock, and won’t recognize him from his role in the Hobbit movies. That leaves Star Trek Into Darkness, which came out a few years ago, and a movie that hasn’t been released yet and that the average People reader will also only pretend to have seen.

  32. Dany says:

    If Jason Mamoa, Alexander Skarsgard and Ewan McGregor aren´t in the top5 i won´t accept this list 😉

  33. TotallyBiased says:

    Well-played, K, well-played! I KNEW it was click-bait, but I still went for it cheerfully, happily, and with love in my heart. 😉 (Saw that please no thread-jacking request over in Cumberland, as well)

    @’P’enny–you missed listing the ‘we just happened to cross paths at a stoplight in Shreveport’ encounter (requiring a nine hour drive or some such on the part of the stalker, I mean fan.)

    Loving the pics of him in costume, my mother is very impressed with their wardrobe department so far.
    Need to give @Allegra a big shoutout for her tireless efforts in finding any and every scrap of Tomnews, no matter how small, and finding an open post to thread them on!

  34. Rae says:

    Why hasn’t anyone suggested Dwayne Johnson? The dimples. The smile. The Fast & The Furious franchise. Added to that, he’s a genuinely nice guy.

  35. Someonestolemyname says:

    My choices would be
    CHris Hemsworth, Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba.

    Any of those would be great. IMO

  36. Dee says:

    IDRIS ELBA WOULD BE THE BEST OF THEM ALL!

  37. Chris says:

    It’s a bit top heavy with white guys. Where’s the diversity?

    • Elle says:

      People’s readership tends to be the white Minivan majority … ergo, the SMA will likely be a white man who appeals to that base. The exception is someone like Denzel who appealed to white America and had that family friendly, nice-guy image.

    • lunchcoma says:

      There’s only been one Sexiest Man of the Year who wasn’t white – Denzel Washington back in 1996. They go for a type – conventionally handsome American white dude in his 30s or 40s who’s an actor in action movies or broad comedies.

  38. Josefa says:

    What about Chris Hemsworth? He’s got Age of Ultron and that Moby Dick film coming out next year, a handsome face and a ridiculously ripped body. He’s also got that family man thing People’s audience likes and, from the looks of it, he doesn’t mind being sexualised too much, so I think he’d be up for it. I wouldn’t mind him at all, personally. I like him.

    Chris Pratt is a great choice too, anyway. And they had Adam Levine last year, so they’d have to try real hard to make an even worse decision.

      he is definitely a People – man

      I like Chris, but sometimes i wonder what else he’s got other than a magnificent body, a beautiful family, and great hair. He must have something ugly going on, somewhere? surely? horrible toes?

        IKR? He’s just so… perfect, lol. And he seems to be pretty nice too. A lot of people bash his acting but I personally find him good enough in all films I’ve seen of him.

        And speaking of Marvel actors called Chris… why has nobody considered Evans?

      • Isadora says:

        I like Chris Evans but I’m not sure if it would be that good for him. He is rather shy and wants to take a break from acting, can you imagine him being pestered everywhere about being SMA? :/

        I think Chris Hemsworth would be a better choice, he can handle it, he is already married (which sometimes keeps the crazier women at bay) and he has Black Hat coming out in January.

    • GlimmerBunny says:

      Yeah it’s gonna be Thor or Star-Lord, mark my words. Not that I’m complaining – I love them both!

    • lunchcoma says:

      Chris Hemsworth would be a great choice, but I sort of get the feeling next year might be his year, what with it being an Avengers release year.

      I wouldn’t mind Chris Evans being the choice, either.

    Liam Neeson. He needs to get it before he gets too old for it. Although, next year is his Tak3n, and it will have massive box office. So maybe next year. Although, he was in four movies this year, Non-Stop, A Walk Among The Tombstones, Third Person, A Million Ways to Die in the West. None massive money-makers, except maybe Non-Stop. but I chose him because I loved his GQ cover this year, He was also in the Lego Movie and The Nut Job, animated features. He was so good in A Walk Among the Tombstones (character-driven) and Third Person (even if an odd movie) and so sexy in both.

    Past my beloved, sentimental favorite, six-foot-five Liam Neeson, with his Irish brogue, the sexiest guy in Hollywood is really Idris Elba, let’s face it.

    Everyone knows the “winner” has to agree to this nonsense. After Goopy and Adam Levine, the gimmick is a complete joke.

  41. Jsilly4 says:

    My first choice Charlie Hunnam then Chris Pratt. If I really had my way? James McAvoy. Sigh.

    Travis Fimmel!

    I salute you for the click-bait maneuver! #verysmooth

    It’s the ‘People’ award so it won’t be anyone remotely fit! *Chants* Dragon Fly King! Dragonfly King! :-}

  45. Beth says:

    Has anybody even thought about Jared Leto? Sexiest male creature on the freakin’ planet.

  46. sassy says:

    Christoph Waltz!!! I wish People Magazine would be creative for once and not pick the same boring types. CHRISTOPH FTW!!!

  47. Claire says:

    Tom, JJ Field or Lee Pace. All three could be delicious brothers.
