These men are smart, funny, and kind — and that’s all before we get into their ridiculously hot looks.
Come see if you agree with these top contenders!
Henry Cavill
It’s hard to believe that the actor hasn’t already nabbed the title.
In addition to being ridiculously good-looking (have you seen him shirtless in The Witcher ?), he’s also one of the sweetest guys in Hollywood.
Jason Momoa
We’ll take a guy who wears pink and scrunchies, anytime! We first fell for the actor in Game of Thrones and have enjoyed watching his metoric rise to leading man in Aquaman .
Despite his massive success over the years, he’s remained humble. Like the time he spoke about his past of being bullied a kid for being different.
Jake Gyllenhaal
While Taylor Swift fans might not agree with this at the moment, the actor is totally worthy of the “Sexiest Man Alive” title.
He’s been a household name since Donnie Darko and has managed to remain humble despite his success.
Darren Barnet
Fans have been swooning over the actor ever since we were introduced to him on Never Have I Ever . He’s the perfect leading man!
If you get the chance, catch him in the sweet romantic-comedy Love Hard on Netflix.
Robert Pattinson
Twilight , who? The actor has managed to step outside of that shadow and embark on a successful career.
We can’t wait to see how he does as Batman in the upcoming 2022 film. If he were to win the title of “Sexiest Man Alive,” he’d be the third Batman to do so!
Regé-Jean Page
Thanks to those steamy scenes in Netflix’s Bridgerton , the world quickly began swooning over the Duke of Hastings.
It’s not hard to see why; those looks and that accent would make anyone weak in the knees.
Adam Driver
With his former role as Kylo Ren in Star Wars and an upcoming role in House of Gucci , the actor has proven one thing: he’s unstoppable.
Fun fact: He’s also a former military member who served his country.
Timothée Chalamet
Whether you’ve seen him in Call Me By Your Name , Lady Bird , or Dune , you probably understand the fanfare surrounding the actor.
He’s uber-talented, having received several accolades throughout his career. This simply ups his attractiveness fator.
Keanu Reeves
The actor nabbing “Sexiest Man Alive” is a long time coming.
He’s been stealing hearts for decades , whether that’s generously donating money to cancer research, being a complete gentleman, or helping out the crew on his films.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II
This Emmy-winning actor’s career just keeps going on the up and up.
He’s appeared in Aquaman , Us , and Black Mirror before stepping up into a leading role in 2021’s Candy Man . He is certainly one to watch.
Ryan Gosling
Any guy who has a meme like “Hey Girl” go viral definitely deserves the title!
And with his upcoming role as Ken in the Barbie movie, he can be the Ken to our Barbie anyday!
Dan Levy
While the Canadian actor made his People’s Sexiest Man Alive issue debut last year, he deserves the top spot.
He’s wickedly talented, having swept the floor at last year’s Emmy’s for Schitt’s Creek , and he nailed his hosting gig at SNL .
Oscar Isaac
The actor made the world swoon when he kissed his Scenes From a Marriage co-star, Jessica Chastain, all the way up the arm on the red carpet.
Now, we can’t wait to see him in Moon Knight .
John Krasinski
We’ve had a crush on the star ever since he played the sarcastic Jim on The Office .
He became even more attractive to us when we learned that he fought to have a deaf actress in A Quiet Place .
Prince Harry
Any man who stands up for his wife the way Harry does for Meghan Markle is a sexy man in our books.
He gave up his royal title , so he and his family could live a more normal life in the United States.
Will Smith
He’s been a mainstay in Hollywood for decades, and yet, he doesn’t age.
The humble 53-year-old is a family man as much as he’s a talented actor. His most recent role in the biopic King Richards is already garnering Oscar buzz!
Kumail Nanjiani
It’s hard to deny the actor when his glow-up has been so big. When he appeared in Eternals , even his wife encouraged fans to “get yourself an eyeful.” Don’t mind if we do! Now to see those abs on People’s cover…
Dev Patel
Everything the actor touches turns to gold. When the actor appeared in Modern Love , People ranked his episode as the best of the season.
He then received rave reviews for his role in The Personal History of Dave Copperfield . Plus, there’s that hair.
Chris Evans
It doesn’t get hotter than Captain America. We’re sure Selena Gomez would agree (the two are rumored to be dating , after all).
And, since Chris loves his dog so much, there could be a magazine spread of them together in matching cable-knit sweaters!
