Is it a given? Next month's SEXIEST MAN ALIVE

will be Ryan Gosling, right? Thoughts?

• I'm pretty sure he turned it down last year so I don't know why he'd want it this year. It doesn't really fit with his hipster, indie persona.

• He's too edgy. Whose ass does People have to kiss? Does Clooney have something coming out again soon?

• Channing Tatum.

• I think it's Tatum, too. He's had a really good year. The only other person I can think of (because of the new Bond film opening) is Daniel Craig, although he strikes me as someone who would turn it down, too. David Beckham, perhaps?

• Last year I was so certain People was going to surprise people and give us Armie Hammer. Now I look back and realize that wouldn't have been as good a choice as I thought it was. But I still think giving it to Bradley Cooper stinks. This year I agree that Channing Tatum is name that makes the most sense. And while I'm not a fan of his, I wouldn't see him as much of a dud of a choice as Cooper was.

• President Mitt Romney

  sadly

• Probably Pattinson. Yuck Tatum wouldn't even be the sexiest man in my town of 5,000.

• Oh sure, now that Alex Karras is out of the running.

• It would be an absolute joke to pick Pattinson when the whole world saw his pretend girlfriend getting her titties licked by another man. Not Sexiest Man Alive material.

• That plus he looks like a boxer who has taken too many blows to the head. Still, he drives the ladies, of all ages, wild.

• Gosling

• Stop trying to make the "Ryan Gosling is sexy" meme work. He's attractive-enough. He's got a great body, but there's nothing heat inducing about his relentlessly average face.

• Tiny gay archer from Avengers Piss-Boy

• Daniel Craig, duh.

• Daniel Craig? Honestly, I think he has the homeliest puss of any leading man, ever. However, he's a bit sexy even so but nowhere near the Sexiest Man Alive!

• Well, they did pick rat face Cooper last year.... Disagree they'll pick a teen heartthrob like Pattinson. People usually goes more mature. Plus only sex phobic fatties go for Rpatz. In general women do not care for him (he just has the crazy demo cornered). I agree Channing seems like the likely choice. Had a strong year, seems mainstream enough to accept the 'honor', etc.

• The 50th anniversary James Bond movie is coming out next month.

• I'm sorry, but who the hell tracks these types of things? How in the fuck does the OP even realize such a mundane, bullshit announcement in a white trash celebrity magazine will be made a month away and what type of person tracks this sort of stuff?? Holy shit.

• Bomer should take it He's hotter than 99.9% of the male population out there anyway - gay or straight - and is steadily gaining popularity (sexuality aside)

• Don't count me out, I've gone from being a cougar's stud to dating Esquire's Hottest Woman Alive, WHILE I'm still married! That makes up for my lack of films right now.

• My guess is Gosling because all the talk everywhere is about him. My personal favorite would be Michael Fassbender but you have to overlook the wrinkles, enormous toothy grin and extreme skinniness. That might be too much to ask but he's still the sexiest man alive to me.

• Ryan Gosling turned down People? For real?

• JLH would take it this year. It's been his year in movies.

• Would People magazine ever choose a sports star as their Most Sexy? Someone handsome that also crosses the spectrum into being a generally known celebrity like David Beckham or maybe Tom Brady? It seems like their selections have always been actors - actors that have had a spike in their popularity that particular year. Are they limited to actors? Could a musician get the title? With the exception of Tatum (who is fine, but I don't find exceptionally sexy), it doesn't feel like any actor has had the kind of outstanding year that they usually reward.

• Gosling isn't classically handsome, but he has a confident, sexy swagger. That's what makes him hot.

• I say Bomer too ..... R23 -- Jennifer Love Hewitt ???

• Bomer is pretty but he looks like a Ken doll. He always has that surprised look as if he's seen a ghost.

• It should be either Ryan Gosling or Tom Hiddleston.

• I'd say matt bomer too

• Joseph Gordon Leavitt. R23 thinks he's being cute with that JLH joke which isn't amusing at all - just lame.

• Matt Bomer

• Jon Hamm

• Bomer and Jon Hamm deserve it, but Sexiest Man Alive now almost always goes to someone the studios are expecting to carry a major movie over the next year. Tatum fits that category best ("White House Down") and is the biggest attention whore, so bet your ass he's going to get it.

• It has been JGL's year in terms of overhyped, underperforming films but besides few of People's frau audience knowing who he is, there is one other reason why he would not get it: he is not sexy.

• He's just not the type.

• R22 I think it's just a rumor. R27: [quote]Bomer is pretty but he looks like a Ken doll. He always has that surprised look as if he's seen a ghost. So true. Those eyes are little spooky.
