George Clooney has been crowned the sexiest man alive by ‘People’ magazine.
The Oscar winner fought off competition from younger Hollywood stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp and Jake Gyllenhaal.
It’s the second time 45-year-old George has been given the title by the magazine. The first was in 1997.
He joked that his friend and Ocean’s Thirteen co-star Brad Pitt (who failed to make the top 10 in the sexiest list) "was going to be upset". Brad has also won the award twice.
"His big movies came out at the end of last year, he has been active in the campaign to help people in Darfur, obviously he's great looking," ‘People’ magazine's Cynthia Sanz, a member of the selection panel, said. "We just thought he was the total package this year."
"It's a little more fun when the sexiest man alive is available," she added.
‘Grey's Anatomy’ star Patrick Dempsey was number two on the list, with
Ashton Kutcher following at number three.
Here’s the full list:
1. George Clooney
2. Patrick Dempsey
3. Ashton Kutcher
4. Taye Diggs
5. Johnny Depp
6. Josh Duhamel
7. Enrique Murciano
8. Leonardo DiCaprio
