so People has named Bradley Cooper sexiest guy this year. (didn’t see that coming when I watched ‘Alias’, tho he did have a certain charisma). My thoughts - this award could have been retired after they gave it to Johnny Depp. -Has a black or Asian or Hispanic man won this ‘honor’? I’d nominate Isaiah Mustafa, the Old Spice Guy. -wonder how widely peole’s opinions on ‘sexy movie star’ varies. My daughter cannot see anything attractive about George Clooney - while I think his high marks on the sexy level would be obvious to anyone. another thoughts worth sharing? ---

OP needs links. I didn’t know People mag had such an award and don’t know who Bradley Cooper is; make it easier to learn about such things! [Isaiah Mustafa](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah_Mustafa) is beyond hot and we share a birthday, I just saw (although not a birth year.) I’ve never quite gotten the George Clooney sex appeal thing personally. ---

oops - here’s a link [Sexiest Man Alive 2022](http://www.people.com/people/package/0,,20315920,00.html) as for Bradley Cooper, he’s your basic white guy actor. not bad looking. I’d take him. not that different from Ryan Reynolds, who “won” last year Joel Mchale from “Community” is on their list. Yay! ---

[People (magazine) - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_magazine#Sexiest_Man_Alive) - the list of past “winners.” Denzel Washington was listed one year, but their “most beautiful People” issue tends to be more inclusive. ---

I scrolled through that list and meh, just a bunch of pretty, over- manicured actors. Meh.
