Ow! I can’t say that I disagree with People Magazine on this one! Johnny Depp is People Magazine’s 2009 ‘Sexiest Man Alive.’ This is his second time winning the title (his first time was in 2003). George Clooney and Brad Pitt are the only other men to be named ‘Sexiest Man Alive’twice. I personally LOVED him as Edward Scissorhands and Willy Wonka! Here is what People Magazine had to say:
From a sexy swashbuckler in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise to quirkier roles like Edward Scissorhands, the 46-year-old star has had women swooning since his days as a teen detective on 21 Jump Street. Yet it’s his devotion to his family that really makes the actor so endearing. “I could sit there all day and do nothing but watch them grow,” he’s said of children Lily-Rose, 10, and Jack, 7. “I’m totally inspired by them.”
Other men who made the list (but obviously didn’t win the title) were Nick Cannon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Pattinson and John Legend. To see who else made the list you can pick up a copy of People Magazine on newsstands today.
