People's Sexiest Man Alive 2009

Johnny Depp is named Sexiest Man Alive of 2009 by People Magazine. He now joins the elite group of men who won the title twice, following Brad Pitt and George Clooney. This came to a shock to a lot of people because they thought the favorite to win the title this year was a certain vampire ~ can I just say that I'm glad the people who voted for this had some sense! Congratulations to Mr. Depp!

Break out the Bordeaux, the whoopee cushions and the bangin' Keith Richards guitar solos, because the 2009 Sexiest Man Alive party is officially under way. Bringing the fun with him wherever he goes – whether it's onscreen in fizzy roles like Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise or at home with his family on their private Bahamian island – is just one reason why Johnny Depp, who also scored the honor in 2003, has joined an elite club of two-time SMA title holders (only Brad Pitt and George Clooney have matched the feat). At 46, the father of two still reigns as Hollywood's most irresistible iconoclast; as one-of-a-kind as his beloved 15-year-old boots and as smoldering as his favorite Cuban cigars.
"Johnny Depp has magical powers. He's unlike anyone else,” says actress Isla Fisher, who's married to Sacha Baron Cohen. "He’s funny, generous and clever. It’s just a shame he’s so hard on the eyes."


From a sexy swashbuckler in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise to quirkier roles like Edward Scissorhands, the 46-year-old star has had women swooning since his days as a teen detective on 21 Jump Street. Yet it's his devotion to his family that really makes the actor so endearing. "I could sit there all day and do nothing but watch them grow," he's said of children Lily-Rose, 10, and Jack, 7. "I'm totally inspired by them."

Others on the list of honorees:
  • Ryan Reynolds
  • Jake Gyllenhaal
  • Bradley Cooper
  • Robert Downey Jr.
  • David Beckham
  • Gilles Marini
  • The Glee Guys (Cory Monteith, Matthew Morrison, Mark Salling)
  • Nick Cannon
  • Adam Lambert
  • John Cho
  • Chris Daughtry
  • Jerry O'Connell
  • John Legend
  • Robert Pattinson *this ruins the list for me, everyone else deserve to be on*

So when a guy is chosen to be the sexiest man alive, he'd have to do a photo shoot and an interview for People magazine. I'm wondering if anyone has ever declined the title?
