Johnny Depp is People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive
I was somewhat nonplussed to see that People magazine named Johnny Depp the Sexiest Man Alive. (1987? He wuz robbed. 2003? Fine, he deserved that one. But 2009? Somewhere, his publicist must be working overtime.)
But then I thought about it some more…looked into Johnny’s warm brown eyes…remembered the way he gazed at Juliette Binoche in Chocolat…the twinkle of Captain Jack Sparrow’s rotting gold tooth as he staggered around (okay, maybe not quite that one). I do like the fact that he’s a man, not a boy, since puberty is never sexy. And, like fine wine or a slab of prime beef, Johnny is aging rather nicely.
Johnny is only the 3rd man to win the honor twice, after Brad Pitt and George Clooney. The fact that Johnny was named SMA when he also happens to have a huge movie coming out in a few weeks (Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland) is entirely a coincidence, I’m sure…
What say you? Who would have been your vote for Sexiest Man Alive?
Gilles Marini doesn’t always wet my whistle, but I would like to submit Exhibit A, below, for your consideration:
Not too shabby, right? And for your viewing pleasure, a retrospective of some past Sexiest covers. Let’s take a trip down memory lane…

I wish Ryan Reynolds had won. I really don’t see Johnny Depp as being attractive. And long live Gilles!

I was thinking the exact same thing this morning! I was totally puzzled after I clicked on Twitter link from People and seeing Johnny Depp. And yes, Gilles, oh Gilles - he looks fab!

I am a huge Johnny fan…it’s a little late but still well-deserved!

He’s great, but the picture they chose for the cover is not flattering at all!!

I am soooooooooooo glad it wasn’t Robert Pattinson! I would have had a heart attack, personally. I really don’t think a heartthrob trend would have been a good choice.

I’m loving the fact that Johnny Depp was People’s SMA! (Secretly hoping for a three-peat!) I read an interview with one of the makeup artists for POTC and she said she used tons of LaMer on Johnny’s skin.
