People magazine has just named Johnny Depp as “The Sexiest Man Alive” meaning the 46-year-old has once again beaten out a whole list of “20-something”-year-old actors/singers/models proving to the whole world that his Jack Sparrow-like charm is not doing anywhere soon. The father of two is a veteran of the award already, having won in 2003. The only other people to ever have won twice have been Brad Pitt and George Clooney, so we think it’s safe to say they belong to a very elite group (we also think it's safe to get the word out there that we want to see of them star in a movie together!).
Basically everything besides Johnny's straight forward charisma is alternative, making him one of the most interesting characters in Hollywood, on top of being the sexiest. His upcoming collaboration with favored director Tim Burton will be reuniting the twosome for their eighth film together, in "Alice in Wonderland." We’re sure the Mad Hatter has never been sexier.
The Sexiest Man Alive has just made the announcement that he will continue on with his "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, at least for now. There had been talk he was going to replaced, but to the relief of all true fans of the films, everyone’s favorite menace will be back for more. But, with the continuation of the "Pirate" movies, Johnny will go on to become not only the Sexiest Man Alive, but the highest paid actor of all time, receiving $30 million for the fourth installment.
What else could Johnny possibly do in his career? He's been nominated for three Academy Awards and won a Golden Globe Award for his portrayal of "Sweeney Todd" in 2008, in addition to his countless awards from places like the MTV movie awards, and People magazine. In terms of other sexy men alive, you’ll have to pick up this month’s issue of People magazine to see other contenders (a few hints: ones a brooding vampire, ones a funny guy married to a smokin' hot actress and one had a massive hangover this year).
Are you happy to see Johnny as the Sexiest Man Alive?
