Bradley Cooper Is The Sexiest Man Alive - Kneepads Lives Up To Their Name With #4 Selection
Kneepads has named their sexiest man alive for 2011 and it is Bradley Cooper. You know, it is not like the previous winners have died off during the year so wouldn't they still be the sexiest man alive? I could see if they said 2011 Sexiest Man, because then it would change from year to year, but even though they use 2011 in the moniker they also say alive. To me that means that a person stays the sexiest man alive until they die. Granted, eventually your sexiest man alive may be 90 and living in a nursing home wondering what flavor jello he is going to get that day, but technically, he would still be the sexiest man alive until he dies.

I don't get it. At all. Bradley Cooper doesn't have that superstar quality. He doesn't have the great actor quality. And he doesn't have, at all, the great humanitarian quality.
Kneepads for sure, but not People mag, more his people's knees are now bloody raw to the bone.
As for Therroux, I wish we can criticize him like we criticize fame whores like Kate Bosworth. We never criticize Kate Basworth's new "life partner" that she is taking everywhere with her since the end of that "relationship" with Skarsgard. So please, why when criticizing Therroux for his famewhoring, we always revert to Aniston bashing?
Let's keep it on Therroux: A nobody, known only by pop culture for his "early-endings" in Sex And The City, who all of a sudden because of Aniston is now making $10M a movie, and is on People's Sexiest Man Alive issue.
Liam Hemsworth. Yum. That is all.
I don't get it either...not that Bradley Cooper isn't a good looking dude...but sexiest man alive? Come ON.
While we are at it...why is Liam #2. What exactly warrants that? And forgive my ignorance, but who is #3?
I agree entirely about #4, never heard of this trick before he started seeing Jen.
@Patty - #3 is Idris Elba. He was great in HBO's The Wire and would be on my list. I don't agree with the others in the top 4.
Liam got #2 because he stars in hunger games, and this list is all controlled by publicity agents that kneepads wants to suck up to (or just suck)
I do not get any sort of sexy vibe from Bradley AT ALL. Sure he's good looking, but sexy? Not even.
Blech.
Stupid. Who even reads that crap anymore? Only people seeing the cover while in line at the grocery store. So it goes to whoever's "team" is pushing hardest for their star's movie to TV show to hit big in the upcoming year.
Yawn.
@Nosey...thanks. I don't have HBO. This is the first I'm seeing him.
Bradley Cooper has really sexy teeth... yes, sexy teeth. Overall package... eh.
Idris Elba is awesome! He's spectacular on The Wire. I was FLOORED when I found out he's British. His show Luther is on BBC America and is available on Netflix streaming.
As for Enty's argument, if this doesn't change every year, that means that Mel Gibson is still the sexiest man alive, and nobody wants that.
@Patty - Idris doesn't look sexy in that photo. I hope it's not the one that People Magazine used in the article
Liam was also in Thor. Not the best movie but that's when I was introduced to his hotness.
Wasn't Justin Thereaux also in Six Feet Under? Played Brenda's boyfriend at one point I think...
So gay Cooper sexiest man alive...TO WHOM ?
@amh.producer, Liam's brother Chris was Thor... Now he should've been in the top 5, not his younger brother who's only recognition in 2011 was being Miley Cyrus's squeeze and love interest in a shitty movie. (I know, I know, he'll be in the Hunger Games soon, but that's in 2012...)
Yes Chris is HOT! Much more so than Liam.
There is something very strange about this list, and I think Enty got it - definitely publicity because I don't think anyone who doesn't follow gossip or love Miley even knows who Liam is - I guess until Hunger Games comes out.
Bradley does nothing for me.
Agree about Justin. What a joke.
Cooper is a decent looking guy, but his eyes seems too far apart in some photos.
All of this is publicity-driven anyway, so it's not going to matter to the average person.
That said, Idris Elba is sex personified. Good to know that Luther is streaming! I'll have to start watching that.
Just remember that "The Kneepads" originally belong to Victor Garber.
@Rita, thanks. They are twins or just brothers. Anyway, whomever was in Thor was the hotness and I just think of that rugged, handsome face and smile :)
@amh. Thor, Chris H., is the older married brother. He also played Chris Pine's father "George" in Star Treck... You know, the hot commander who sacrifices himself so that his wife can get away while giving birth to this son?
Yep, the older Hemingsworth should've definitely been on that list, way before the younger one.
Bradley Cooper isn't sexy to me, I always see him as dorky Will from Alias. I think he is a good actor though and pretty funny, he just doesn't seem to do much with a lot of range anymore. Alias is a good place to check out his talent.
Bradley Cooper sexiest man alive??!! Nope, try again.
Bradley is a joke. Justin shouldn't be #4, but when I first saw him on Parks & Rec I thought he was very hot. I prefer him over Bradley, anyway.
Just worthless titles & rankings that are nothing but purchased publicity. And I'm sure for Bradley, the fake JLo dates were the icing on the cake in getting him the #1 spot. Gag.
In what alterverse is Bradley Cooper sexier than Idris Elba?!
As has been said, his agents must have pushed the hardest. (No pun intended)
Agree with most of you that no way is BC the sexiest man alive.
And the only honor Justin Theroux should be given is "Most Sinister Eyebrows."
Umm...why isn't Ryan Gosling in the top 4?
Daniel Craig was robbed.
Aww, I thought BCoop played sexy characters in The Hangover and A-Team. But I also used to have terrible taste in guys (don't for really date devil-may-care people! They're unstable and awful!), so there's that.
@Leilana Pierce - "Most Sinister Eyebrows" kills me :)
If they were actually making this list as #1 Movie Star choice of the average straight American woman, it would definitely be Daniel Craig or Ryan Gosling. But clearly that's not PEOPLE's agenda.
At least most of the other picks were movie stars for the ages. In ten years, will people remember who Bradley Cooper was?
Cooper? Seriously??
And Idris Elba has been on my laminated 5 list for two years now. Mmmm Idris. Nice call on that one, People. Beth - I agree I had no idea he was British until years after I saw the Wire. Dude's amazing.
meh. it's a popularity contest. at least bcoop is a cutey. this is kneepads we're talking about, not exactly a bastion of journalistic credibility. besides, beauty and personal taste are subjective. i totally didn't get when brad pitt was named or ryan gosling. the only one that needs to put any stock into this is the boyfriend dude...justin therwhatever, b/c he'll finally turn up in google searches from now on. i hope he at least sent them a nice muffin and fruit basket.
B Coop - no. Idris - oh hell yeah. He is stunning - the whole package - intelligent, built, sexy and obviously so, so good-looking. Yum. I wish Luther would have a longer season...
^^ forgive my poor English in the above post.
Idris is no runner-up! That's just wrong!!
Come on, people. We KNOW Sexiest Man Alive is totally bogus. It all depends on how popular you are. And they always manage to throw in somebody who's the boyfriend/girlfriend of a much more popular actor/actress. Liam and Idris are much more good-looking than Bradley.
Bradly is yucky, plus not that great of an actor. Justin #4 who is him anyway the guy has no personality, no sex appeal, nada.
#1 - I vote for Daniel Craig or Chris Hemsworth (Yummy for both)
I love Bradley and Idris. I knew Bradley would win when that French video went viral.
I can't believe Seth MacFarlane didn't place higher. Man, I don't know many women who wouldn't bang the shit out of him.
I'm so ladylike.
Um, NO. This is a joke. Even Theroux is sexier than Cooper. And he's been in better stuff ('Mulholland Drive', 'Six Feet Under'). Cooper does speak nice French, but that is all that might spark my interest for a milisecond. That guy in the 3rd pic down is sexy - now there's a man. Maybe I'm too old - maybe this is for the teeny boppers. Wait and see, Bieber will be the Sexiest "Man" Alive next year.
Liam Hemsworth? And I agree with the "meh"s for Bradley Cooper.
Someone pointed out to me this morning that Bradley Cooper looks like an emu. Now I can't see him as anything but!!
Also, agree Liam should be swapped with Chris.
this magazine is stupid. Bradley Cooper = the opposite of "sexiest man alive."
My heart still belongs to George Clooney, no matter what he does.
I'll pile on as a Cooper naysayer! Don't get it.
Honestly, I don't get any of them - they're all a bit...blank/devoid of charisma (even Gosling, for me) - apart from Idris Elba, and he's not even a bit my usual type. But Jesus - his accent ALONE! Fwah.
@Maja: My daughter makes fun of me all the time because I ABSOLUTELY ADORE Seth MacFarlane.
