He's reasonably attractive and not their worst choice. Looking over the covers you get when you Google sexiest man alive, I see many worse ones - Bradley Cooper (yuck), Matt Damon (he's also attractive but not that sexy), Adam Levine (yuck), Ryan Reynolds (snore), Nick Nolte (holy shit wat).

[(Anonymous)]

Adam Levine looks like you'd get an STD if you touched him.

[morieris]

What year did they pick Nolte....surely not on this side of the decade, right?

[syncing_feeling]

My roommate in university was completely obsessed with Bradley Cooper. I never got it.

[(Anonymous)]

He's reasonably attractive (debatable) if he's some garage owner, in Hollywood's standard he's below average and if he were a woman with this level of grrom/polish/attractiveness he won't have anybody clamoring about his looks.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL, if People magazine was nominating a reasonably attractive man rather than the sexiest man alive, he could make the cut.... but then, a lot of men could!

[(Anonymous)]

I had forgotten Nick Nolte. That was probably RED at the time, too. But even by the bland white bread standards of this award, Blake Shelton is bland.

I was a little surprised.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think sexy when I think of him. I'd say he's cute. But he seems like a friendly and funny guy, so maybe they're rating personality. Honestly, though, in the last ten years of Sexiest Man Alive, there were only, like, three that didn't make me head tilt in bafflement.

[morieris]

WB should have paid money to make uhhhh Joe Mangello (sp) the winner.

Would have given JL some good promo + actually reward a sexy man.

[syncing_feeling]

I'm not in the JL fandom so I had to Google him, and all I can say is 'wow' and 'thanks.'

[(Anonymous)]

*sigh* Joe Mangello is not in the Justice League. You are thinking of Jason Momoa. :/

[(Anonymous)]

Joe Manganiello is not even remotely my type, but objectively I gotta say, woah.

[(Anonymous)]

Well yeah it's a PR stunt, OP. People magazine wants his fan base that still buy legit physical mags, and his team want some buzz.

It never is and never will be a legitimate title.

[(Anonymous)]

He's not particularly attractive and comes across like a jerk IRL

Just read the article and I have two comments:
I do not find the rock "profoundly charming".
Mel Gibson won and he's a bigot motherfucker too. I'm surprised the otherwise smart article didn't mention this.

[greghousesgf]

I don't think this Blake Shelton guy is at all sexy.

[(Anonymous)]

Trump's Amerikkka, tbh

[(Anonymous)]

Go home, Adam Levine. You had your turn, now it's Blake's.

[(Anonymous)]

Is this a secret though?

The award must be fake. It's too ridiculous to imagine any preponderance of straight women voting for this .

It's People magazine

[(Anonymous)]

The one chosen probably has to have a certain Q Score to even be considered, then which will generate the most interest, and the all important question of which of those on that list will sell the most magazines?

According to a 2010 interview with ABC News, Larry Hackett, People Managing Editor, tried to debunk some myths surrounding the annual decision. "We know it has to be a mix of someone who's hot but well-known. Not too young, not too old and somebody who, frankly, maybe we haven't thought of."

He continued, "Sexy certainly has to do with someone being good-looking, and has to do with a certain kind of romantic, flirtatiousness physical appeal that may be beyond just academic appreciation of the way they look. We want some mystery in our sexiness."

In 2012, USA Today interviewed Julie Jordan, a senior writer at People, who added "We watch these guys over the year, and someone always bubble to the surface... It's a matter of looking at the whole entire year." She also stated that they "pay attention to comments on People.com," and they ask "female celebrities" to pick their favorites.

So, it's a bunch of editors and writers and maybe PR personnel choosing (and I'm guessing this group is more straight male than anything else) which not too old, not too young well-known male celebrity will sell the magazine. And if one of the objectives was to get people talking about it, well, they succeeded there.

[(Anonymous)]

I remember seeing, although I never went looking for confirmation, that one year a bunch of people wrote in someone who wasn’t remotely attractive, but that might’ve been the Teen Choice Awards.

[(Anonymous)]

Is this really a secret? Every time I've heard this brought up the person's gone on about how unattractive he is.

I personally don't get it. I don't find him hot, but I also don't find him extraordinarily less hot than any other guy who's gotten it in the past. The way people are going on about it, it's like he's some swamp ogre or something.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with you, OP. And I think you're probably right on the "I don't think he's even the sexiest man named Blake Shelton." I can't tell you how much I'd like to see a photo collection of all the Blake Sheltons in the world! :)

I know, right?

[raspberryrain]

I mean, he couldn't possibly be.

He's not even the sexiest regular on The Voice USA, let's be honest. Maybe not even the third sexiest.
