What The Hottest Men Alive Look Like Now

Jimmy Henton

Maybe you missed this fact, People has been listing “hottest men alive” and publishing their pictures on the cover. There's definitely no fan vote so these sexy men can guarantee their beauty regardless of the vote count. Why so? Because beauty competitions, which are based on fans’ votes, can be easily cheated. Like, one person can create more than one account to vote for the actors or singers they love. Without a doubt, they will do that. So we can somewhat believe in choices coming from a trustworthy magazine.
Even when you don’t agree with the magazine's selections, it’s still interesting to look at the history of male attractiveness. Anyway, don’t worry, the People never randomly picked someone on street, these men below are all talented and gorgeous actors that all women desire. So, scroll down to check how these male celebrities made it on the list of the hottest men alive and what they look like now.
