People’s
Sexiest Man Alive Contenders
By:
Nicolette Karter
Alright,
here are my predictions for 2013’s People’s Sexiest Man Alive. It’s really
anyone’s guess, there are a lot of hot guys in Hollywood, and I’m often
surprised by who is considered hot (like Robert Pattinson is not my cup of tea,
but all I hear is how much girls swoon over him; I just don’t get it). But, I
think I have it narrowed down to three front-runners, plus three more honorable
mentions.
One of my best
bets this year is Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Right now, he doesn’t have anything in theaters, but he had out the sexy
rom-com Don Jon, which he wrote, starred in and directed. A man who wears many hats is impressive, & he’s
been a versatile actor for quite a while. Funny, handsome, charming &
creative (he made a production company called hitRECord), he can sing &
dance & act with the best of the best, yet still has a relatable quality
about him. All around a lovable fellow, I think it’s his time to be recognized
for the sexy man he is.
Who hates Tom Hiddleston, my next pick for
SMA? No one, like I literally haven’t heard one person say anything bad about
him. This is one of the reasons why I think he’s a definite possibility this
year. He’s reprising his role as Loki in
Thor: The Dark World, where he plays a villain, yet fans love the
character seemingly just because of him. He also has the sexy indie Only
Lovers Left Alive in which he plays a vampire, which are still super
popular right now. He has a charming accent, smile & personality, plus a
smash hit movie out now.
The last guy on
my short list is one that I’m not that fond of, personally. In all honesty I
haven’t actually seen anything Benedict
Cumberbatch has been in. Yet this year he has been everywhere; he’s the
lead in the TV show Sherlock, played a villain in Star Trek into
Darkness, was/will be in The Fifth Estate & August: Osage
County respectively. He’s in the highly anticipated new Hobbit movie
& in the buzzed about 12 Years A Slave. Not to mention I’ve heard a
lot of “Oh, he’s so sexy & talented” about him (though he personally
doesn’t do it for me), so I think he’s a strong possibility this year.
There are another
3 possibilities that aren’t as strong as the aforementioned, but I feel they
deserve an honorable mention because it could still easily be them.
First up is the
star of 12 Years A Slave, Chiwetel
Ejiofor who is getting a lot of Oscar winner talk for his amazing
performance. Usually the SMA isn’t black, but Denzel Washington won in 1996
& I think it’s time for another hot black guy to win.
But another 90’s
winner could come back to make a new record. That debonair silver fox George Clooney could win a third
time. He won in ’97 and ’06, and the talk he’s gotten for Gravity (haven’t seen
it & probably won’t; just not my kind of movie) is all good. Plus people
love to break records, and my friend thinks it’ll be him.
Last but certainly
not least is the “Thunder from Down Under” (as called by an honest trailer for Thor,
one of his movies; Google it, the makers are funny) Chris Hemsworth. I had him in my top three last year, &
he’s back this year because 1.) Look at that face/guns/abs, and 2.) He recently
had a hit movie out (Thor: The Dark World) & earlier this year he
had out the movie Rush and apparently dropped trou. Note to self: go see
that movie.
In all
seriousness, I could be completely wrong, but I think the winner this time
around will be Tom Hiddleston.
Everyone loves him, and he was in more things this year than my original guess
for the title (who was Joseph Gordon-Levitt). Well, if you guys have a better
guess tell me. And leave a comment telling me what you want me to review next.
