‘Then And Now’ Photos Of Sexiest Man Alive As Chosen By The ‘People’ Magazine (1990-2021)

Published 2 years ago

The ‘People’ magazine has been carrying around this tradition of choosing the ‘sexiest man alive’ since 1985, as it puts the best-looking men on its cover. Although the idea of ‘sexy’ is subjective, People’s choices of sexy men have been appreciated by most people. This year, the title went to the Ant-man star, Paul Rudd, who is having a hard time accepting this title. As he said humbly in people’s cover story, “I do have an awareness, enough to know that when people hear that I’d be picked for this, they would say, ‘What?'” Well, leave that for people to decide, Paul! They may say ‘Wow‘ instead of ‘What?’!

Whether you agree or disagree with the magazine’s choice, we invite you to scroll down below to see the People magazine’s favorites from 1990 to 2021. We have also attached recent photos of all those celebs on the list. Enjoy!

After the exam, Colbert told Rudd he “tested negative for sexy.” But as the actor began to walk away in apparent disappointment after thanking for the opportunity, the host (and a roomful of people dressed in white lab coats) began to clap.

“There’s nothing sexier than humility … and you passed!” Colbert said, “Paul, you’re the sexiest man alive.”

“I’m the sexiest man alive?!” Rudd couldn’t believe it. He covered his mouth before being crowned, given flowers and a beauty-pageant banner reading, “SEXIEST MAN ALIVE.”
