Oh god, what I’d give to get my hands on Mr. Superman for a loooooong night! 😀
I can’t see any South American men here. Why?
Óscar Isaac Hernández Estrada, William Levy Gutierrez, Javier Manuel Hernandez Jr., Cauã Reymond Marques, Adam Michael Rodriguez, or Edward Carl Cibrian, just to name a few!!!!
where do i nominate kevin hart hahaha
Where’s tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch though?
To me, Zahn McClarnon is undoubtedly the sexiest man alive. C’mon! Longmire, Westeorkd, Fargo. Dark Winds…
Dominic Sherwood (Shadowhunters, Partner Track and Eraser Reborn), hot looking, nice body, humorous. I would like to see him there in that list for 2022.
Although unknown before the Elvis movie released in June, Austin Butler has certainly become a serious contender.
Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons is missing and I am sure is regarded as one of the most beautiful people inside and out by many across the world. He shares how he takes care of his body, mind, and soul and he gives of himself to others in his music and performances. Truly amazing and inspiring person.
SERIOUSLY Where’s Rob Lowe????
Surprised not too see Chris Evans on here. He is gorgeous, great physique, funny, charming, not afraid to laugh at himself. Looks good with or without a beard. Loves his dog. THAT is sexy
James McAvoy is missing!! He is hot and funny and sexy and a great actor!!
Love this. There’s so many more out there. Thanks for the man candy.
Christopher Abbott!!!!? HELLO!
Alexander Dreymon of TLK!
Austin Butler
Austin Butler
Y’all I agree this list creator clearly forgot some of the obvious… I was surprised to not see Chris Evans in the top 20, let alone the whole list!? Him and Austin Butler (who’s king of 2022) likely slipped their mind.
…and never too late to swap Adam Levine… this wasn’t his year haha
I second that. I never found him attractive and his voice is annoying. He is a rather average bland looking dude. I guess people who think just having tattoos makes you hot would be tricked by that?
Jamie Dornan is missing! by the way for me, the most handsome man in the world is my boyfriend. I just love him so much.
He is on there…33/50…
where is Christian grey? I a, surprised not to see him on this list. His romantic personality, and his sexy eye contact is just wow!
so wheres penn badgley im very disappointed hes not here
Austin Butler ❤️
chris evans and sebastian stan
There are several men that should’ve been on that list.
IMO, Jensen Ackles is the most beautiful man on the planet.
Then you have men like Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Austin Butler and John Legend.
Miles Teller? He took sexy to a whole new level in Top Gun: Maverick
GERRAARRD!!
Austin Butler is sexiest man alive. U left him off your list.
Where’s Jensen Ackles? He should be on the list.
ZAC EFFRON IS SO HOT!. I totally agree with that!
Kim teahyung?
MORGAN WALLEN!!
U Missed Taylor Laughtner And Louis Partridge And Tom Holland Fr
HOT HOT HOT …CHRIS EVANS…Did you see him in ..BEFORE WE GO!!!
Austin Butler!!!!! You can correct this oversight by naming him the next sexiest man alive!
Adam Levine is my favorite on this list and I love the tattoos on his body. I do not have tattoos, not yet, but I will have many soon (I am under 18) as science tells that women see tattooed males favorably and associate them with strength, masculinity, aggression, and dominance. Until then, I purchased a full sleeve of temporary tattoos from WannabeInk https://wannabeink.com/collections/full-sleeve-temporary-tattoos with the same design as some of his body art. Check it out, it is a great shop for tattoo lovers looking for celebrity body art.
Gross. He is so bland looking. I think those tattoos are replacement for a personality
Austin Butler is hands down the sexiest man ever!
I can’t believe Austin Butler isn’t on this list! That said. Johnny Depp is beyond a doubt the sexiest most handsome man. He has the perfect chisled facial features, and is full of charisma and charm. At 60 years old he has been at this for 4 decades plus. Starting off as a pretty boy and evolving in to a heart stopping handsome man with a heart of gold.
I agree % JOHNNY DEPP is #1. Aways will be in my books, and I’m sure all his relatives would agree with me too, over 28.7million+ around the world!! So yeah! We got your back, Mr. Depp ALWAYS!!
I guess you’ve been under a rock the last couple years . I like 90s Depp. But he’s become a douche and has not aged well. Cocaine is a hell of a drug. But if you like guys who “joke” about putting your dead body in the trunk of their car. . .
Johnny Depp should be #1
Johnny depp no 1#
Johnny Depp should be number 1. To me a sexy man should be sexy in-side and out and be humble. That is Johnny Depp 100%! I don’t care what these people have to say but he IS #1!
Johnny Depp should be #1!
Don’t think #1 is even close to being the topBut #3 and #4 and #7 are great picks, Chris Hemsworth,” ❤️JOHNNY DEPP❤️”, Keanu Reeves. Are far more than just sexy and handsome.. very very talented as well.
Glad to see Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves on this list. Although I do not see the attraction to Dwayne Johnson at all. I like him as an actor but sexy? Um. No.
Johnny Depp always #1
Johnny Depp is the worlds sexiest man. He is compassionate, caring, versatile, approachable, funny with the biggest smile that makes you feel warm inside and overall just absolutely beautiful. LOVE ALWAYS
Johnny Depp should have been number one. Johnny is so sexy and humbling. Plus the best character actor around. He is number one in my book, The top 3 sexist men were from England. Maybe thats why he was number 4. He id the sexist man alive.
Harry Styles #1 in my book! Love him❤️
Did a bunch of grandmas vote? Some of these guys are a little too old. You never see women over the age of 35 on these lists which is annoying and hypocritical when they have old flabby men on here. Tom Cruise and Matthew McConnaughey do not look good. And George Clooney is too old. Also, many hot guys missing from here. I have to say some guys do get better with age, like Orlando Bloom (especially his voice).
But where is Lee Pace? Luke MacFarlane? And sexy personalities (which great smiles) like Pedro Pascal. I also always thought Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal were handsome. Also, the actors who played Lawrence and my favorite Nathan from Insecure. There are a lot of better looking (and just better as people) guys than Johnny Depp and Leo DiCaprio. Stop listing old dudes when the women’s list is always just girls in their 20s.
