Women of DU: Is this really the sexiest man alive?

[True Dough]

People magazine says so, but did the folks at People meet Floyd R. Turbo, Aristus, LuckyCharms or any of DU's other leading men before making this decision???

[Skittles]

1. not even close

and I NEVER understood the popularity of that stupid TV show

[hlthe2b]

3. Me either (not a fan of the Office).. I'm told the British version was better.

[Different Drummer]

46. The British version was much better.

I was never a fan of the American version, yet the reruns of it seem to be on TV a lot.

[AkFemDem]

16. I love that show but to be fair, he now does movies.

[Think. Again.]

2. I wonder how much his publicist had to pay for that?

Probably less than a sidewalk star on Hollywood blvd., though.

I think it's so cute how badly we want to believe that this kind of thing is actually what the public thinks.

[hlthe2b]

4. Just remember, the INAUGURAL People magazine choice 40 years ago was none other than...

(eye roll not a drum roll):


Mel Gibson

[True Dough]

5. And...

he turned out all right, didn't he?

[EYESORE 9001]

22. Little did we know then

that MG had already been steeped in some deviant variety of Catholicism since childhood, or that he has a penchant for the ol’ ultraviolence to accompany the cult’s self-flagellation practices.

[Iris]

39. 40 years ago!!!!!!

[Ocelot II]

51. Mel was actually pretty hot in the early '80s.

And he starred in a couple of my favorite movies from those days, The Year of Living Dangerously and Gallipoli. Unfortunately, since then he's turned out to be a religious nutjob and a shitty human being, which cancels out any possible hotness.

[Rebl2]

55. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[Akakoji]

6. Not a woman

But I think so. At least one of them.

[niyad]

7. The only thing I have ever seen him in was "It's Complicated". I find

that "sexiest man in the world" thing pure nonsense. As you point out, TD, we have a stellar group with wit, charm, intelligence, etc.

[AllyCat]

9. I don't even know who that is.

Not my type.

[True Dough]

10. Maybe you're more into

Tom Cats?

[littlemissmartypants]

11. LMC...

Leaves Me Cold.

[True Dough]

12. I got you, LMSP!

[underpants]

13. See kids, eat your ham sandwich and carrots EVERY DAY for lunch

and this is where it’ll get you.

I assumed that was a little running joke on “The Office”.

[SunSeeker]

14. No.

[ratchiweenie]

15. Any man who can't even bother to shave is anything BUT sexy. I'm so tired of the grungy look. Either shave or grow

a beard but stop with the I couldn't be bothered look.

[AkFemDem]

17. He has a beard, this was presumably taken while growing it out between takes

[House of Roberts]

18. So you were not a Sonny Crockett fan then, I guess?

Don Johnson in Miami Vice?

[ratchiweenie]

20. It's been done to death. Time to move on.

[jfz9580m]

68. Beards are also full of bacteria!

https://www.livescience.com/65293-beards-are-super-germy.html

A small European study has found that the average man's beard is more replete with human-pathogenic bacteria than the dirtiest part of a dog's fur.

Not a fan of facial hair…

[Annie Moosee]

73. another reason to

kiss pugs not mugs

[hunter]

69. That "I can't be bothered" look takes a lot of work to maintain.

The true "I can't be bothered" look is "could pass as a homeless person."

[whathehell]

78. Some women like that look..

and I'm one of them.

[genxlib]

19. No direct opinion

But his wife is one of the all around most beautiful, talented and charming women in show business so he must have something going for him.

So by the transitive property, I will give him the thumbs up.

No doubt that my wife's charms and beauty give me more street cred than I deserve.

PS....Emily Blunt in case you don't know

[Mosby]

52. If thats the criteria, then Dax Shepard is rhe sexist man alive.

Just saying. 😀

[AkFemDem]

21. He's a cutie

His charm is in being a "nice guy", inoffensively funny, and almost regular enough you get the sense he'd drink a beer with you. Also, he did pick up some hot bod creds as Jack Ryan. That said- he's not my (Hollywood) Sexiest Man Alive. Here's looking at you Chris Hemsworth

[Timeflyer]

23. He's cute, but what about Senator Sheldon Whitehouse? There's a hottie (do kids still say that?).

[True Dough]

27. I think Sheldon Whitehouse

resembles Tom Brokaw. Am I off base there?

[Different Drummer]

47. I think he looks more like Sam Waterston did...

when Waterston was on "Law and Order."

[Niagara]

24. I have no clue who this is? I think that actor Zahn McClarnon

is the sexiest man alive.


I'll have to edit and add a photo once I get home.

[True Dough]

28. You never watched an episode of The Office?

Really?

[Niagara]

30. I've attempted to watch but it doesn't spark my interest

[Different Drummer]

48. Same with me.

[Niagara]

49. Good to know that I'm not alone.

[PatrickforB]

25. I'm so out of it. I don't even know who this guy is. n/t

[TNNurse]

26. I don't care.

Unable to be distracted by the horror of our country.

But I do like him as an actor. He is kind of cute.

[MaryMagdaline]

29. The sexiest? No, but 10 years ago he was close

[LuckyCharms]

31. That's you in the picture, isn't it, True Dough?

Fess up.

[True Dough]

34. You were close with the "Fess up" part, Lucky

If only you went with "Festus," you'd be closer to what I look like:

[LuckyCharms]

35. Well, if you look like Festus, you're doing alright.

Looking past the character...he wasn't a bad looking guy.

[Croney]

32. I envied Pam... and I'm old enough to be Jim's mother.

The way he yearned for her... burned for her... Yes, John Krasinski is sexy, but he will always be Jim Halpert to me.

[kerouac2]

33. Oops

Forgot to send my application in again. My bad.

[peacebuzzard]

36. Depends.

it is difficult to make the judgment based on a photo alone.
I have never seen or heard about this dude.
the alternates suggested in this post would get my vote before a one time photo.
But then again, I don't give a hoot about mass media hysteria over any one subject. (such as sexiest person alive... although I thought the story behind the chaiwala hot tea vendor in Pakistan to be interesting for a dime to riches story)

[Dulcinea]

37. He's cute in an approachable way.

But my idea of sexy is hockey legend Mario Lemieux. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Lemieux

[cydney_wong]

38. I always wondered

why they picked him for Jack Ryan. I think he’s a little funny looking. Just a little. Sexiest man alive. Nah.

[Iggo]

59. I think he picked himself for Jack Ryan.

[Texin]

40. I find him funny, engaging and talented. Sexy? Not so much.

[deurbano]

44. I find funny, engaging and talented to be sexy, though? And he also seems smart, kind and humble,

which adds to his appeal. (Too young for me, though!)

I didn't actually recognize him in that photo, which makes him look like the actor who plays Loudermilk.

[Janeyre]

41. Well, Ken Curtis was actually a handsome guy. Lol love me some Festus.

[Solly Mack]

42. His wife is beautiful. His brother-in-law is sexy as fuck.

That's as far as I can go.

[mnhtnbb]

60. And he's friends with Matt Damon

and both Damon and Krasinski families live in the same building in Brooklyn.

[Solly Mack]

63. Did not know that.

[mnhtnbb]

64. Emily Blunt and Matt Damon first worked together

in 2011.

[Solly Mack]

65. I like slippers.

[mnhtnbb]

66. Haha. Me, too.

[Solly Mack]

67. :)

Comfy feet are happy feet.

[Emile]

43. He would be a lot cuter if he shaved his head.

[Aristus]

45. I think the only reason I made the short list for Sexiest Man On DU is because I stopped posting my pic years ago.

People who know me say I look like Jon Favreau, and I'm cool with that.

[Niagara]

50. Sorry for the repeat.... I think that actor Zahn McClarnon is the sexiest celebrity man alive :)

My SO is aware that I have a celebrity crush on Zahn. I don't keep a secret.

I can't explain my crush, it just is.




This was filmed around 2009.

[Upthevibe]

53. Niagara.......

I totally agree!

He's amazing in Dark Winds. I can't wait for the third season which is supposed to come out in March, 2025.....The friend that told me about Dark Winds also has a crush on Zahn McClarnon...

[Niagara]

62. I agree, Upthevibe. Dark Winds is an excellent television series.

[Rebl2]

54. Not

IMO

[soldierant]

56. Perhaps we might respond as did the DUer

who was asked by a MAGAt whether Melania or Jill was sexier. He replied, "I don't know, I've never seen Jill naked."

Has anyone ever seen John naked?

[applegrove]

57. He is in a commercial on Canadian TV where he is on a boat

and dances like nobody is watching on a boat. It is a Rogers Cable and phone commercial. He dances to Taylor Swifts "Shake it Off". It's a very cute commercial. A man in a fishing boat catches him dancing and immediately starts busting some moves. John that goes back to dancing around the boat. I love watching it.

https://www.breakfasttelevision.ca/videos/john-krasinski-grooves-to-taylor-swift-in-brand-new-rogers-commercial/

[Ysabel]

58. Ugh no...

I don't think so...

I love Festus (sp?) though...

and Oh!

Zahn McClarnon - I love him like crazy!

But none are as hot as my husband - he's absolutely adorable and very sexy!

[mnhtnbb]

61. I confess

that in my opinion, there is not a sexier man alive than Sam Heughan.

[Figarosmom]

70. Hes okay i guess. But on British TV there is this Irish

Gardener whose name I didn't catch but he was sure sexy.

[ailsagirl]

71. Since I don't even know who that is...

I guess not

[Corgigal]

72. Nope

However his wife just starred in a movie against Ryan Gosling , and the daughters they have from their marriage have a crush on Ryan. I love Ryan Gosling, married older woman, has two daughters and says women are higher creatures on an evolutionary scale. Seems like a nice Canadian guy.

[dai13sy]

74. My Friend, who is Gay, and I agree that he is definitely the sexiest Man alive

And he's not too pretty. We like that too

[Phentex]

75. It's a paid gig. Some people refuse it. I'm not impressed

either way

[gay texan]

76. No. N/t

[whathehell]

77. He's definitely in the running, imo.

[Jilly_in_VA]

79. Nah

I can think of better ones.

[Tadpole Raisin]

80. I think in this case it is at least in part that he is considered to be one of the nicest

Guys in Hollywood and he and his wife Emily Blunt are a kind and down to earth couple.

I never watched the office but the two of them were incredible in ‘A Quiet Place.’

[spooky3]

81. I like him. He's funny and smart. Nt
