Peau epee: ORB oa By Chloe Bach remember my first celebrity crush... Jimmy Smits. What? Everyone goes through phases, okay? Needless to say, I think my taste in men has matured and that by gawking at as many men as possible I am perfectly qualified to select five men who I would consider to be the sexiest men alive. It wasn’t an easy task, it took a lot of research and sifting through pictures (really rough, I swear!) but here are my picks: 1) Christian Bale 2 i eae eee Christian is hands down the sexiest man alive. He epitomizes “tall, dark and handsome” with some additional “talent” and “brooding” thrown in there. Bale has proven what an excellent actor he is several times over and I always think that talent and good looks are the sexiest combination. I like him with his British accent, without his British accent, in a classic black suit and especially in the bat suit. Masculine and dreamy, Bale steals the number one spot with very little competition. 2) Charlie Hunnam Relatively unknown until his recent success in the hugely popular FX show, Sons of Anarachy, Charlie Hunnam comes in with a close second. Hunnam plays Jax Teller the biker with a heart of gold who is practically born into the club. He looks nice dressed up, but I have to confess I love his ultra masculine bad boy look on the show. How could you not love Hunnam when he spends an hour every week just being ridiculously good looking in his leather jacket while serving up some vigilante justice on a nice big Harley? 3) Ian Somerhalder Ian Somerhalder, what’s not to love? A thick head of dark hair accented by incredible baby blue eyes makes Ian Somerhalder my number three. He made his first real debut on LOST as Boone (you remember, the hot guy with the mega-bitchy sister?) and now plays Damon Salvatore on the CW’s The 12 Vampire Diaries. With slight embarrassment, I will admit that I watch The Vampire Diaries (seriously Elaina, what are you thinking?) and I attribute my viewership predominantly to Somerhalder. I can’t help it! The guy defines dreamy! 4) Shemar Moore Let me start by saying his body is absolutely unbeatable, the less time he spends without a shirt on the better. I remember when Shemar was on The Young and the Restless years ago and now stars on Criminal Minds and honestly the man has not aged a single day. I swear he is some sort of genetic miracle because he either doesn’t age or is aging so well that he actually gets better looking every day. This sort of cell .. regeneration is so impressive that he gets my number four spot. 5) Ryan Reynolds Homebred boy coming in at number five! What girl doesn’t love Ryan Reynolds? He’s totally sexy, quirky, hilarious and represents Canada in Hollywood oh so well. Ryan combines such a great sense of humour that, for me, is perhaps the sexiest feature in a man with all around good looks. His recent record with blockbuster movies doesn’t hurt either. His body in X-Men: Origins was incredible and he wears a suit better than most men I’ve seen. Now if he could just ditch Scarlett...
