Bradley Cooper crowned Sexiest Man Alive

By Alexandra Heilbron on November 17, 2011 | 11 Comments


Bradley Cooper has been crowned People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” for 2011. The 36-year-old Hangover star told the magazine: “I think it’s really cool that a guy who doesn’t look like a model can have this [title]. I think I’m a decent-looking guy. Sometimes I can look great, and other times I look horrifying.” Cooper, whose father passed away earlier this year, is very close to his mom, and says when he heard he’d been named Sexiest Man Alive, “first thing I thought was, ‘My mother is going to be so happy.'” Other actors named to the list include: Twilight‘s Robert PattinsonLiam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games), Chris Evans (Captain America), Jennifer Aniston’s boyfriend Justin Theroux, Idris Elba, Tim McGraw, Joel McHaleRyan GoslingConan the Barbarian‘s Jason Momoa, Alec Baldwin and Dylan McDermott. Previous winners include Ryan Reynolds, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and George Clooney. The Sexiest Man Alive issue goes on sale this Friday. Do you think People made the right choice?

    Good for Bradley Cooper. He’s a guy’s guy and a lady’s man. I do think it’s funny how a few people at one magazine decide who the ‘sexiest man alive’ is though. I think the title should have gone to Clint Eastwood 🙂

    This was definitely People’s weakest list yet! Where was Johnny Dep?! And…so many! I could go on and on…

    ‘haha’ Indris Elba was the travel portal protector in Thor. He’s also had a recurring role on The Office, and many other shows and movies. He’s a big black dude. I think a great actor too.
    Otherwise yeah Thor’s Chris Hemsworth or Chris Evans should have topped the list. I heard there was a petition with over 10,000 signatures on it that Ryan Gosworth should have been the winner this year. That’s great to have another Canadian win and maybe he should have. We rock up here.

    A few months ago, I would have given the title to someone else (Tom Welling, Hugh Jackman, etc), but Cooper seems cool as hell and very balanced. He’s masculine without being overly so, yet conversely, sensitive without being a wimp.
