Wait. Was there no 1994?
So we’ve gone a little crazy with People’s archive of covers — 34 years X 52-ish issues a year = too much content — and one of the better searches we’ve done is “Sexiest Man Alive.”
There have been the classic choices — ZOMG Brad Pitt!! — but also some incredibly bad choices. For example:
• Nick Nolte (a-hem)
• Sean Connery at 60 (”Older, Balder…and Better!”)
• L.A. Law’s Harry Hamlin (quote: “Certainly when I look in the mirror, I don’t get turned on.”)
• JFK Jr., who is dead, which makes us sad, but OK, he’s still incredibly attractive
So what can we learn by perusing the archive of People’s sexiest men?

Of all those men, Johnny Depp is the only one I would totally do. But my taste in men is not apparently not very ‘mainstream American.’
I think a lot of them still stand as being valid for that place and time.
Except Nolte. WTF??
Oh and Jude Law. And another one I forget.
JFK Jr. Now there’s a loss.
We can learn you need to be white to be sexy, give me a fucking break. Nick Nolte was pretty hot in Rich man Poor man and the Deep. Y’all are to young to remember those movies.
I didn’t think Brad Pitt was all that attractive until he turned 40.
How anyone in the world could have thought Jude Law was EVER hot is totally beyond me.
Wow, vapid-looking and moldable aren’t qualities BP’s just picked up? He had them way back when, too!
