People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive
So my friends and I were having a very very deep discussion about who should be the 2008 winner of People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. Once this discussion was started it was important to list the previous winners. And they are....
1985 Mel Gibson
1986 Mark Harmon
1987 Harry Hamlin
1988 John F. Kennedy, Jr.
1989 Sean Connery
1990 Tom Cruise
1991 Patrick Swayze
1992 Nick Nolte
1993 Richard Gere/Cindy Crawford Sexiest Couple
1995 Brad Pitt
1996 Denzel Washington
1997 George Clooney
1998 Harrison Ford
1999 Richard Gere
2000 Brad Pitt
2001 Pierce Brosnan
2002 Ben Affleck
2003 Johnny Depp
2004 Jude Law
2005 Matthew McConaughey
2006 George Clooney
2007 Matt Damon
2008 Hugh Jackman
2009 Johnny Depp
2010 Ryan Reynolds
Some of these covers I can truly remember especially the first issue with Mel Gibson, I was young but thought it was a great cover, I might have even kept it under my pillow (shh don't tell). One woman in our discussion group thought it was important to have more men of color on the cover since Denzel Washington was the only African American chosen to date. I know that there are a few people I would like to see on the cover that have not graced it as of yet, but I am not certain that they fit the criteria that People Magazine sets forth. So who should be this year's winner? Well here are a few of my suggestions and granted I chose from the African American community because like my friend I would like to see some diversity.
The ones I would like to see are....
Harry Belfonte
Billy Dee Williams
LL Cool J
Tyson Beckford
Boris Kodjoe
Morris Chestnut
Tyrese
Terrance Howard
Taye Diggs
Shemar Moore
Derek Jeter....
and the list goes on. I truly hope it is not a repeat we really need some new blood on the cover someone who is smoking hot and sexy. Any ideas?

Yes he is very sexy I must agree!!! He gets my vote too.
hello!!! isnt it obvious, they pickt he sexiest man based on how good of a year he had - so its obvious it should be Will Smith or Robert Downey Jr :))
Well Becky we will have to wait and see who they choose. Someone mentioned to me that they thought it would be Heath Ledger because of his death, I am not sure that I completely agree with that but it will be interesting to see who they choose.
I'm going with David Cook!!! talented -sexy-smart and thudworthy!
My vote is for Mr. David Roland Cook....talented, beautiful, articulate, smart, humble and gracious. He is the total package!!
Shameless plug: Debut album released Nov. 18th - Make sure to pick up a copy!!
Hmmm Lorie and SBC interesting choice, not sure I agree but to each their own. I hope you two enjoy the album!!
Iron Man! Robert Downey jr!!! He has survived all the drugs! Is happily married with a great career.He can also sing/paint and is very funny. Still great looking too! He has been overlooked and underrated too long. My other choice is Heath Ledger.So what if he is dead. He should be judged on his life not his death,like every one here on earth should be. There is a photo of H.L with his daughter and the dry cleaning and groceries! Any man that does all that at once and is handsome too, gets my vote.He made a big mistake,was not perfect, never tried to be. People Mag does not have the balls to pick him though.They will probably go with the arrogant Beckam. Yuck!
Jane I would agree that Robert Downey Jr would be a good choice he has seemingly turned his life around and I was surprised by his performance in Iron Man. I would be surprised if they picked Heath Ledger as well but who knows they might. I would not approve of Beckham being on though I think that is a horrible choice.
Go Hugh you are the man you make me swoooooooooooon.
Daniel Craig??
BP - I have to agree he is hot and seems so very down to Earth.
Lafenty - I actually thought that was who they were going to choose this year.
My vote goes to Hugh.He is really the sexiest human being on the planet,male or female.The man is sex on legs!So much sex-appeal.And got a personality,too.Looks and personality.An lotsa talents...
Wolvie - I agree he is very sexy and seems very grounded and family oriented which makes him even more sexy.
jonh f. kennedy jr.. nobody gets any sexier than him
He was good looking!
Go with Hugh Jackman! ROLF! Love the list BTW.
mayhmong - Yeah he got it already and it was truly well deserved he seems to be an all around good guy and sexy to boot.
Excellent hub. I just came across this one!
Thank you Genna!
my pic would have to be robert downey jr. he is just so cute and always has been, he's aged well too.
