The Sexiest Men Alive

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp has been named the Sexiest Man Alive in a poll by People magazine.

According to the Telegraph, the Pirates of the Caribbean star reclaimed the title he first won in 2003. He succeeded 2008 winner Hugh Jackman.

'Whether it's onscreen in roles like Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise or at home with his family on their private Bahamian island, the 46-year-old father of two with 25 years in show business still reigns as Hollywood's most irresistible iconoclast,' said the magazine.

Depp has joined the likes of George Clooney and Brad Pitt to have received the honour twice.

The magazine described Depp as 'the king of cool with the killer cheekbones.'

While Depp sits pretty on top, let's check out the others who made it to the list.

The Canadian actor, who is married to Scarlett Johansson, made it to number two in the magazine's list. The fact that he's beefed up quite nicely in Wolverine may have something to do with it.

Plus, the guy is funny smart. Just check out The Proposal to know what we mean.

Seems like playing a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain hasn't affected the hotness quotient of this sensitive guy. Just ask Reese Witherspoon.

Remember the hot shot chef of the television series Kitchen Confidential? Well, the actor has become more irresistible courtesy The Hangover.

The troubled actor was almost written off before Iron Man resurrected his flagging career. Now his female fans cannot get enough of the muscled brooding star.

The English football star has the looks that make girls swoon. No wonder he's the favourite poster boy for underwear ads! The bad news? He's very much taken.

He's hot alright, but he's off-limits. The 33-year-old star of the TV series Brothers and Sisters recently got hitched.

He may have lost the American Idol crown to Kriss Allen, but the singer wins in the sexy department.

Another American Idol finalist makes it to the list. This time it's the cool rocker from the band of the same name which is making waves musically.

How can the list be complete without this English hunk from the Twilight movies? He's single-handedly responsible for making vampires so appealing, not to mention sexy as sin.
