People's Sexiest Man Issue

[ericadawn16]

So, this year's People's Sexiest Man Alive issue was a big improvement over last year. Dwayne Johnson won!

I was a little late posting about the 2014 Chris Hemsworth issue so on January 12, 2015 I wrote:

To be honest, if it was just about anyone but Chris Hemsworth on the cover, I probably wouldn't have even bothered with it. Did you even have Dwayne Johnson??

So, I am very pleased and I really thought I would purchase it. Johnson's article was really nice and quite long but there were a lot of articles I didn't care about and again, the photo quality for everyone else seems to be whatever they could find in their digital photo cabinet.

However, they also had people like Kal Penn, Idris Elba again (not complaining especially since this was shirtless and my mom was taken aback, SCORE), Lin-Manuel Miranda (but without the facial hair, I know it's so shallow but I like him so much better with at least some kind of scruff and he'll probably be clean shaven for Mary Poppins and...) and Ben Zobrist (We never would have guessed a former or current Tampa Bay Rays player would make the list!)

Also...for the first time in at least 5 years but possibly ever...Jeremy Renner. It was this cheesy thing about nerds becoming hot and the photos were tiny but it counts!

Tom Hiddleston, Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans and many others were missing entirely.

I somtimes almost don't recognise Lin without the hair and the beard. I think I prefer him with as well!

Chris Evans totally deserves the title. :o
Come on People magazine.

I agree with you about lame pictures.
I'm not asking for porn pics, but it is called the sexiest man/men alive. Most of the pictures they use are far from "sexy", imho. :p

I will hunt down a copy, if only for the Jeremy Renner blip. Finally!!

Does it include anyone under 30? It's kind of annoying that women stop being considered sexy after 30, but every man I see who Hollywood considers sexy is well into his 30s and 40s, if not FIFTIES.

How on earth do they determine who should be on the list, anyway?
