Matt Damon: People's Sexiest Man Of The Year

George Clooney and Brad Pitt have shamelessly campaigned for him since 2001, but this year's winner was Bourne to the title. "You've given an aging suburban dad the ego-boost of a lifetime," Damon, 32, told PEOPLE, explaining why he couldn't possibly accept the crown - which perfectly demonstrates many of the reasons we chose him in the first place: irresistible sense of humor, rock solid family man, heart-melting humility.

No problem with Matt, he seems a nice guy.
David Beckham - no way !!!!!
Daniel Craig - no way !!!!!
Someone with modesty, home-spun, talent,
intelligence, conversational, humor, .... and
looks.
Wasn't it Woody Allen one year?

Did you noticed that George Clooney start

looking like CARY GRANT the actor?

He even combs his her like Cary G. used to do.

Sexy is so much more than simple good looks. It's the total package which Matt Damon has, but David Beckham has loads of it.

Sorry Matt.

Matt's nice enough but the winner shoulda been Gerard Butler - a truly magnificent specimen of the male gender. Sigh

Why doesn't Denny Hastert ever get any votes in these things?

I thought it was going to be Bill O'Reilly...

I like Matt, I really do, but sexiest man alive?
Are they for real?

[anastasiabeaverhousen]

Daniel Craig? Vinny Testaverde? Drew Breeze (sp?)? Mike Lowell?

But, Matt Damon? Nice guy, good dad, but sexiest????? HARDLY.

I think his press agent just got a raise.

Matt Damon? - Get Real - People didn't look to hard - They could have found Captain McDreamy, Nenad Mogic of the NCL Dream - The sexiest sea captain alive!

I do know that _Jason Bourne_ kicks butt! A fascinating character, a commentary upon the military-industrial complex!

Okay, I like Matt Damon - I'm not sure he's _fine_ (like Denzel Washington, Antonio Banderas, The Rock, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Sean Connery ("old, but still fine"), Clint Eastwood ("ditto"), Morgan Freeman ("ditto"), Patrick Stewart ("bald and fine") Ken Watanabe)

[and all the people below the age of 30 said: "where is this lady coming from - all these guys are OLD"!]

Yeah, I'm afraid I have to agree. He seems like a decent, grounded human being. But the most erotically apealing (i.e., sexiest) man alive? No.
