Robert Pattinson No Longer Sexiest Man Alive Says People Magazine

People Magazine Ranks Ryan Reynolds as Sexiest Man Alive

Tony Payne
The latest issue of People Magazine is now out, and this is as always an issue that many women wait for with baited breath (and probably heaving bosoms as well) to see which of their favourite hunks is voted the Sexiest Man Alive (see pictures).

Well this year, which is actually the 25th year of this award by People Magazine, fans of Twilight Saga star Robert Pattinson were sadly disappointed to find that he is not at the top of People Magazine's list.

Instead of British born Robert Pattinson, People Magazine has listed Canadian born Ryan Reynolds as the Sexiest Man Alive, and he can be seen starring in the movie The Green Lantern, soon to be released.

So who is this Ryan Reynolds anyway?

Ryan Reynolds is a 34 year old Canadian actor, who apparently can make "a mean omelette" and doesn't so much have six-pack abs as eight-pack abs. As well as the new movie The Green Lantern, Ryan can also be seen in National Lampoon's Van Wilder, Just Friends, Definitely Maybe, The Proposal and X-Men Origins. He is probably best known right now however for playing the role of Michael "Berg" Bergen in the television show Two Guys And A Girl.

So Who Else Is On The List?

In 2nd place People Magazine have 39 year old John Hamm, who has played host on Saturday Night Live, as well as Tina Fey's love interest on the show 30 Rock.

In 3rd place, Kellan Lutz, a 25 year old who is also known for his role in the Twilight Saga.

In 4th place, singer/actor Drake who is 24, best known for his role in Degrassi: The next Generation and for chart topping hits like "Find Your Love".

5th place, any guesses? It's Matthew Morrison, a 32 year old former star of Broadway, and currently starring as Mr. Shue in Glee.

What, No Robert Pattinson Yet?

Not a glimpse, as we move on to 6th place and Jon Bon Jovi. This proves (thankfully) that you don't have to be young to be sexy (I still have a chance then), as Jon is 48 and has been married for 21 years. I guess nobody needs to know who he is and what he is best known for...

On to 7th place, and 34 year old Joe Manganiello, who works out twice a day six days a week and played a werewolf in True Blood.

8th place and we see another regular, Robert Downey Jr., the well known actor, who is now 44.

Number 9 is Jesse Williams, a 30 year old hunk who starred in Grey's Anatomy and was previously a school teacher in Philadelphia.

In 10th place, Justin Timberlake, who is now 29 and I am sure also needs no introduction.

Number 11? The ever popular Vin Diesel, 43 year old star of The Fast And The Furious, Pitch Black, The Chronicles Of Riddick and many more well known movies.

And finally in 12th place, back in the news, but not good news for Robert Pattinson fans, it's Jake Gyllenhaal, now 29 and star of such movies as October Sky, Jarhead, The Day After Tomorrow and Brokeback Mountain.

So SHOCK HORROR as fans of Robert Pattinson find that their true love not only isn't at the top of the list, he isn't even on the list.

Of course everyone has their own idea as to who should be at the top of any category, and Hollywood Life were so shocked by the People Magazine list that they came up with their own Top Ten List:

Robert Pattinson
Taylor Lautner
Matthew Morrison
Ian Somerhalder
Joe Jonas
James Franco
Paul Wesley
Brad Pitt
Jake Gyllenhaal
Prince William

So who is right and who is wrong, or would you vote for someone completely different who doesn't appear in either of these lists?

    @Pearl I'm only familiar with a few of them too.

  • Pearl Grace2/7/2011

    Here's how I know I'm old, I've only heard of 5 out of all the people you mentioned...Anyway, great article.

    Reynolds is hotter than Pattinson. ;)

  • Tony Payne1/31/2011

    @Patricia I agree. The same with some of the women that they call "hot" these days. You only have to look at Raquel Welch or even Sophia Loren to see that they are still smouldering even at an advanced age. Take by comparison Britney Spears, who 10 years ago looked hot, but now just looks like any other trailer trash if seen out on the street. There is more to being sexy than just looks, it's personality, charm, wit etc... Those things stand the test of time.

    Problem here is that the majority of these "sexy men" are nothing but "sexy boys." And if Pattinson is what today's women (girls?) think is sexy, God save us. I still think George Clooney, James Garner, Tom Selleck and Tony Danza beat out ALL these children.

    He is a bit young to be the sexiest man alive.

  • Angel Vee1/25/2011

    lol this was a fun read, Tony :) It's funny, because Ryan Reynolds' exercise and diet came up during one of my stumbleupon sessions. But your report was much more fun to read.
