PEOPLE MAGAZINE'S "SEXIEST MAN ALIVE 2009"......JOHNNY DEPP?????

Well, folks, I just can't believe he could beat Our Man Jon....anyone agree?

Johnny D. is an attractive man, sure....but, let's face it, not even in the same galaxy as Jon Hamm.

Sigh....maybe next year....

@SCFan: I was just going to post the same thing. How dare they?

user-pic

They are in the same galaxy but Jon Hamm is the Sun and Moon!

But, I wouldn't kick either one out of my bed.

user-pic

Yes, truly just a gross, gross choice. Depp always looks like he needs a shower and a trip to the dentist.

How they could bypass Jon Hamm is BEYOND me!!

user-pic

Fooey. I'd vote hands down for Rich Somner.

I've always had a thing for guys with glasses. To me, he's one of the most sexy guys alive!

user-pic

Well that is just wrong. That is the wrongedest thing I have heard of since Peggy hooked up with Duck. Obviously those folks at People Magazine have never gotten a good look at the Hammster. Then again, maybe their Sexiest Man Alive was chosen from mere mortals.....Jon Hamm clearly is no mere mortal.....

Jon Hamm may be very good looking, but he DOES NOT make my loins quiver. Johnny Depp does. Next question?

I don't give a rat's ass about People Magazine. When is Jon going to win the Emmy for Best Actor?

Here's a convincer, any doubters....

"Don Draper, Sharp Dressed Man"

Wow.....

Did our boy make it on the list at all? He certainly embodies all that is sexy...The looks that makes women melt and a sense of humor that attracts everyone...

I would have hoped that John Slattery would have at least gotten an honorable mention...

user-pic

@SCfan. What a great find! I've bookmarked it for when I need a Don Draper fix. Thanks

user-pic

That was my first thought when I heard the words Johnny Depp . . . . . ew.

user-pic

What's worse is that People Magazine not only bypassed Hamm, but they openly MOCK him in their pages by comparing him to FABIO!

WTH??

I have already written a strongly worded letter to People Magazine, and I think all Jon's fans should do the same.

Hello, all. What's wrong with Jon is that he doesn't buy into the hype that helps to sell their magazine. People (and the other mags) don't like that, so naturally there's going to be some backlash. A while back, one of the mags said that he was getting demanding and that his recent stardom had gone to his head, etc. But we all know that it's a lie. Jon is the most unaffected star that I've seen since Paul Newman. He's a private person, he's monogamous and not dating 10 starlets at once, he's down to earth and the epitome of class. Period.

Sorry for the double post!!

So true, jetdeedee and stacy and all....I posted right below the article on People.com that "Jon Hamm was robbed.", but I think I will write a letter, too, that's always been a sort of dumb contest, anyway, (like George Clooney says..."sexiest man alive, hmmm, as opposed to..... the sexiest man......dead??") but, it is the principle of the thing, since it gets so much publicity.

Of course, anyone with eyes knows we're right, but it's still maddening....

user-pic

oh this is just PR BS

Depp has a big expensively made movie coming out

user-pic

Hi SCfan!

Ditto!!

user-pic


Hi 60's!

And I think you're right, there, CadMen....it's all politics....which makes it meaningless really.

They should call the yearly "honor", "Who's got the most to gain publicity-wise", shouldn't they?

Sheeeesh!

user-pic

Depp is also very thin and feminine

user-pic


Remember Johnny Depp's debut (I think) in "Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984)?

He played the kid who fell asleep with his earphones/TV on and Freddy pulled him down through his mattress and the blood "fountain" was.....ahem..... intense.

...eeewwww....gross.

Awful lotta blood for one little person....even if it is Johnny Depp....hhmmmmm

Funny...his name was Glenn!

Johnny Depp....just don't get it. Jon has all the bases covered..period.
However, there is a very sexy Scotsman who starred in Atonement a few years ago. James McAvoy. I realize he is very un Hollywood but he HAS the complete deal as far as I am concerned!

user-pic


Thought I'd post a bit of eye candy since I recalled (after watching some of AMC's recent "The Prisoner)" which had Ruth Wilson in it, who also was Jane Eyre in the recent PBS production.....which also starred Toby Stephens (son of Maggie Smith) as Mr. Rochester.

This guy should have been in the "candidates" of People Magazine's sexiest. He was also in Onegin, another period drama that's sort of slow moving, but that was proper for the time, I suppose. Beautiful costuming and photography in that one, btw.

Well, here is another "loser" as far as People Magazine is concerned.....but, well just look, and you tell me.....

I don't. Jon Hamm is a very attractive man. I simply don't consider him to be the "sexiest" man alive. If I must be honest, I can't think of one actor who is.
