Bradley Cooper's chiseled abs and manicured beard have helped him ascend to the the lofty heights of People magazine's 2011 Sexiest Man Alive. The
bilingual Hollywood actor now joins the likes of Brad Pitt, Ryan Reynolds, George Clooney, and Our Hugh Jackman at top spot on the annual list of male attractiveness.
Not everyone is heading to Google images to swoon all over again, though. Buzzfeed have compiled a list of scientific reasons why the exceptionally dreamy (
and possible government conspiracy?) Ryan Gosling should have won instead.
And you can't argue with science*. There's also
a petition to make People accountable for their choice. But can this wrong be made right? Is it even wrong? Vote now! etc.
B Coops said, "I think I'm a decent looking guy. Sometimes I can look great, and other times I look horrifying." Adding, "My mother is going to be so happy." Thor's younger brother Liam Hemsworth came in at number two. He'll play Gale in the
Hunger Games trilogy so I'm sure we'll hear a lot more about that guy in the years to come. Chris Evans,
Community's Joel Mchale and Jason Momoa of
Game of Thrones also made the top 10.
We've taken the liberty of including pictures of both Bradley and Ryan in the gallery above. Peruse them at your leisure, and let us know who
you think should be crowned the sexiest of them all. But basically it's this guy:
Or this guy:
So... yeah.
*Unless it's climate science.
