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.

I am a fan of Bourne series, but sexiest man alive ?
.
Uhmmmmmmm - I need to think about that.

I'd still go for Brad Pitt. Love those pecs !

HUH? His sexual appeal goes right over my head, but he seems a sort of person I would like to know.
Is People out of candidates?

He's only 32? He's been around a long time it seems. He's a really fine actor and he is bringing in the big bucks..so..well. I sort of think he might be a bit embarrassed by this honor.. (seems like a smart guy.) My vote is with Stephen Colbert.

Matt Damon is exceedingly average looking. It doesn't help that that cover pic of him is really bad/unflattering; tiny mouth, pasty skin, eye bags, pocked forehead. I mean come on, Damon agreed to do this with a straight face?

"Put this bag over your head for your cover shot, Matt!"

Hiss, boo. There are better looking men walking the streets of this or any country.

Darn, it looks like I didn't win again this year.

In this broken world of ours, this hardly matters to be sure. I do, however, feel compelled to disagree. A sense of humor and being a rock solid family man are both wonderful qualities but they do not make you the SEXIEST man alive! I do not read people magazine, but I do watch the movies and some TV. Mcdreamy and Mcsteamy both have it all over Matt Damon in the sexy department. Barack Obama wins hands down as well. Come on People! The talented Mr. Ripley does not cut the perverbial mustard. He is hot to be sure, but not that sexy! Steohen Colbert anyone?

A long-delayed reaction to those gorgeous green woolen swimming tighties he wore to bewitch Jude Law in "The Ripley Ultimatum."
