Awkward Nene Leakes GIF by Real housewives of Atlanta

Jonathan Bailey...

https://people.com/sexiest-man-alive/

I personally don't see it in the slightest 😭

YABU - he is definitely the sexiest man in the world

YANBU - it should've been someone else in the public eye, who i will let you know about

Oh Jonathan Bailey is lovely! I thought he was perfect as Fiyero and he comes across as being super nice in interviews.

Mistyglade · 04/11/2025 12:57

Phil Mitchell aside I struggle to think of any of them I find attractive but then again my libido is in hibernation.

Channing Tatum looks like a thumb.

Haha, I do not get his appeal at all.

TattooStan · 04/11/2025 13:00

Charlie Hunham (obviously not as Ed Gein!)

BriefEncountersOfTheThirdKind · 04/11/2025 13:03

How did people miss all the Wicked hype, it was literally in every shop 🤣

Would also love to see MN reaction to a thread judging how sexy various female actresses are - suspect there would be an uproar and "Well I bet they have personality"....

Anyway, it's the guy that plays Mack on Emmerdale for me 😉

SwedishEdith · 04/11/2025 13:04

Sometimes it can be in just one film. Mattias Schoenaerts was absolutely gorgeous in Far From the Madding Crowd.

Not to my eyes. He has a look of David Tennant about him in the photo in People.

deeahgwitch · 04/11/2025 13:09

Actually David Tennant with a bit of David Beckham

Ponderingwindow · 04/11/2025 13:12

Something about him just works for me. When they announced he was going to be in a Jurassic Park, I said, “they are putting him in tiny glasses, right?” That would be the whole point in casting him. He has to have the glasses to contrast the action scenes. I was correct. Tiny glasses. Objectification achieved.

plus have you seen the clip of him in Company.

StrongLikeMamma · 04/11/2025 13:24

Erm no.

Ok in his still pictures, but extremely average when talking. Don't like any of the past winners either, though I will concede Brad Bitt is (was) extraordinarily good-looking. Never found him sexy though. Where did all the hot guys go?! Very definitely don't get the Tom Hardy thing 😕

Oh yes (young) Brad and Tom win anyday over this guy!

Inextremis · 04/11/2025 13:35

For me, it's one of these:

Henry Cavill
Jason Momoa
David Gandy
Justin Trudeau

I think he’s gorgeous! It should have been Pedro Pascal though, but apparantly he refuses it every year

I had a naughty dream about him. It was great! 🤣🤣🤣

No5ChalksRoad · 04/11/2025 13:45

Ugh. Doesn’t do it for me. Too “perky winsome leprechaun.”

SaySomethingMan · 04/11/2025 13:55

TheCrenchinglyMcQuaffenBrothers · 04/11/2025 11:00

Probably more to coincide with Wicked: For Good atm I guess.

Aah that’s what I’ve seen him in ( Wicked i.e.)! That’s probably why he won it. It’s a huge film.

I wouldn’t pick him as the sexiest man but no matter who gets picked, some wont “see it”
I can’t.

I found a video of the previous title winners passing on the phone to the upcoming one and could not “see it” with most of them, only 2 of them.

Gosh i’m terrible at placing him. Really enjoyed the film but forgot he’s in entirely.

Agree with this

Alexander skarsgaard in Big Little Lies (before it emerged he was a wife beater) was HOT

Also Joshua Jackson in the Affair - irl he seems passive and like a Bottom

Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn. And only as Aragorn!

Purplebunnie · 04/11/2025 14:01

Used to be Keith Hamilton Cobb for me in his Andromeda days, the most gorgeous eyes.

Henry Cavill in his Witcher gear definitely

ToffeePennie · 04/11/2025 14:03

He’s a nice enough looking chap, but the one thing all these lists have in common is they’re all cookie cutter and boring! They all do the same “brooding” pose too, with slightly puffy lips and eyes that are over enhanced.
Give me stupidly floppy hair or a nervous smile. Give me a bit of a belly with amazing arms and eyes. The lanky, skinny one with a bit of a cheeky grin. The tall one with no idea of how good looking he is. The one with no idea how to dress and no clue what to do with his hands. Give me a pirate with too much eyeliner or a time lord in tweed.
I like character in a face, not smoulder and perfection.

Charlie Hunham (obviously not as Ed Gein!)

I can see that however his SE accent has vanished into this air put me right off him I appreciate he lives and works in the US but his transatlantic accent is "icky"

I love Jonathan Bailey he is cute and he is self deprecating he does not take that award seriously.

BauhausOfEliott · 04/11/2025 14:22

I’ve been thinking about this in quite some detail now and I think I’m going for Claes Bang as my Sexiest Man Alive.

Particularly when he emerges naked from his wolf form all spattered in gore and licks the blade of a dagger in Dracula.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan

I kind of get this, but then I remember Negan Walking Dead 😱
