According to the latest trend, these eight guys are “the sexiest” of our day, ranging from youthful stars like Timothée Chalamet to older stars like George Clooney.

 

In 1988, John F. Kennedy Jr.

John F. Kennedy Jr., the 35th President of the United States’ son, was voted People’s Sexiest Man Alive in September 1988. According to his close friend Steven M. Gillion, he considered this distinction to be a “badge of honor.”

Kennedy was not afraid to flaunt his body while he was a 27-year-old law student at New York University. Gillion claims that he spends a lot of time at the gym gaining muscle. “He had all the physical attributes of a body builder,” the friend commented.

 

In 1991, Patrick Swayze

Despite not being in show industry, Kennedy faced competition from celebrities like Patrick Swayze. In 1991, the actor was crowned the Sexiest Man Alive.

He was originally characterized by his co-star Demi Moore as a sweet, kind-hearted person with a “rugged, animalistic physique.” “He’s strong, but he has grace and agility,” Kelly Lynch, another co-star, said. He is not only a large thug who is showing off his might.

In addition to women, males are drawn to the macho Texas native. Roland Joffe, the director, stated, “He has the sexiness of a person who is from the tip of the toenail to the top of the head involved in all the passions and fires and energies and fears that life throws up.”

1994’s Keanu Reeves

Swayze was regarded as a 1990s heartthrob. Keanu Reeves, another actor, also won the award for that decade, so he wasn’t alone. But in 1994, People magazine didn’t give out a title. Jess Cagle, its editorial director, didn’t change anything until years later.

In the “People’s Sexiest Man Alive 2015: 30 of Sexy,” a Lifetime special, Cagle retroactively gave the action film actor the prestigious distinction of “94,” along with Jim Carrey and Hugh Grant.

In 1997, George Clooney

George Clooney was crowned the Sexiest Man Alive in 1997, three years after the title was officially rejected. In his debut cover, the experienced star’s friends raved about how attractive he was.

They also discussed the two-time Academy Award winner’s loyalty. Laura Innes, his “ER” co-star, stated: “George is portrayed as a rake and a guy’s guy. Yes, but he’s also a devoted buddy who would go to any lengths for you. It is comparable to having family.

In 1999, Richard Gere

Richard Gere was honoured with the Sexiest Man Alive title in 1999 at the age of 50, whereas Clooney was 36 at the time of his win. As a result, his ex-girlfriends boasted about his attractiveness.

 

Among them was designer Von Furstenberg, who acknowledged, “I was drawn to him because he walked like a biker. I was certain that I would obtain him. I wooed him.

In 2001, Pierce Brosnan

The “James Bond” film star Pierce Brosnan was crowned the Sexiest Man Alive in 2001. Julianna Margulies, his co-star, thought he was a great family man.

 

She said, “When you see a gorgeous man holding hands with his wife and holding his baby, there’s nothing more sexy in the world.”

Hot rodent boyfriends are the newest trend.

Men’s attractiveness standards have changed in an odd way in the modern day. According to a recent social media fad, males with animal-like facial traits are more attractive.

These include the most recent one, the “Hot rodent boyfriend.” Men with traits similar to those of rodents are referred to by this word. This trend was openly discussed by Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on “Today with Hoda & Jenna” in June 2024.

According to reports, it honors the “internet boyfriend” look. “They’re svelte (with) angular features and bodies,” Kotb clarified, and Hager noted, “Not necessarily conventionally handsome, which makes them even hotter.”

 

This trend has been accepted by X users. “Men are either eagle handsome, bear handsome, dog handsome, or reptilian handsome,” stated a user on X. Another person commented, “Stewart little if he was human and hot,” and included pictures of Mike Faist, who most recently starred in the sports movie “Challengers.”

In reference to Faist and co-star Josh O’Connor, another person shared a collage of cartoon mice from the films “Stewart Little” and “Ratatouillie,” writing, “I’m sorry but they’re the guys from ‘Challengers.”

 

The alleged “golden retriever” partners of Travis Kelce are no longer the norm, according to another. These men have been supplanted by attractive rodent boyfriends.[…] “Rat boy summer is coming up, and if you look like a rodent, you’re in luck because the girls want you!” the user wrote.

 

White, Jeremy Allen

Social media users have also strongly linked Jeremy Allen White, the Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner, to the sexy rodent boyfriend look.

 

One wrote, “Jeremy Allen White is one of the most handsome men I’ve seen.” Another said, “Why is Jeffrey Allen White the sexiest man I have ever seen?” echoing the same thoughts. [sic]”

Josh O’Connor

Josh O’Connor, a British actor, is another celebrity who fits this pattern of being gorgeous. “Kit Connor and the sexiest man alive Josh O’Connor!” is the caption for a video that an X user shared of him and fellow English actor Kit Connor.

 

Another online user agreed with the statement on O’Connor’s attractive appearance, while another said, “Josh O’Connor so handsome, wild.”

 

Mike Faist

The sexy rodent boyfriend fad has been attributed to O’Connor and Mike Faist. A user wrote, “The category is hot rodent boyfriends, and your opponents are Mike Faist, Josh O’ Connor and Matty Healy.”

 

“Now you know that Mike Faist is the sexiest little gutter rat, which is why we adore him in West Side Story and Newsies,” another person remarked. I adore that street rat of mine. [sic]” One person exclaimed, “I fear that the Bikeriders Mike is the sexiest he’s looked to me.”

Keoghan, Barry

Barry Keoghan, a BAFTA Award-winning actor, has also drawn notice for his eye-catching appearance. He was listed as one of the UK’s hottest guys by an X user.

 

“He can’t help but be the sexiest man alive,” wrote another, echoing the same views, and “‘It’s lucky for you I’m a vampire’ and Barry Keoghan becomes the sexiest man alive,” wrote another.

 

Chalamet, Timothée

Timothée Chalamet, an Oscar nominee, is likewise regarded as attractive. One user remarked, “Also sorry, but I think Timothé Chalamet is the sexiest man ever in ‘Dune,’” in reference to his role in the science fiction movie.

Chalamet has been dubbed not just the sexiest but also “the cutest.” His appearance in an advertisement also earned him recognition. A different person wrote, “The new Timothee Chalamet ad for Chanel cologne is the sexiest thing I’ve seen in a hot minute. [sic]”

Adam Driver

Social media users also think Adam Driver, who starred in “Harry Potter,” is attractive. Someone said, “Adam Driver as Snape is the sexiest thing you can say to me besides how much you want.”

The 40-year-old’s distinctive hairstyle was noted by another, who wrote, “Adam Driver with graying/white hair might be one of the sexiest things I’ve ever seen too.” “Adam Driver is the sexiest working actor and nothing will convince me otherwise,” someone wrote in the interim.

 

Former “Succession” star Kieran Culkin Another actor in his early forties who has won over fans with his endearing appearance is Kieran Culkin. “Kieran Culkin is the sexiest person on television,” one X user commented.

Someone else said, “Evil Kieran Culkin kinda sexy.” Following his appearance with Claire Danes on “Actors on Actors,” someone claimed that the Golden Globe winner had suddenly turned into a hottie.

Yorke, Thom

Thom Yorke, who is regarded many X users as one of the greatest and most influential singers of his generation, is not only musically gifted but also attractive.

The comment on social media read, “Looking like Thom Yorke is the sexiest anyone could be.” The singer of Radiohead was remembered as the “sexiest rocker” back around 2000.

The way society views male appearance is constantly evolving, from the stereotypically gorgeous Kennedy Jr. and Swayze to the outlier “hot rodent boyfriends” like Faist and O’Connor. The faces of people who win the public’s admiration change along with trends.
