The name of 2024’s Sexiest Man Alive has been released by People magazine, and the title goes to John Krasinski.
My first thought was, seriously… the guy from “The Office?” He’s cute, but Sexiest Man Alive? I don’t think so. I can think of other people who are way more deserving of the title.
Here’s who I would’ve chosen.
Drew Starkey
Drew Starkey is best known for his role as Rafe Cameron in “Outer Banks.” He plays the antagonist for seasons two and three, but something about his character is very attractive, especially when he buzzes his hair in season three. His anger in the series appeals to the part of us women who like a bad boy, someone who defies the normal.
Starkey isn’t a social person by nature. He’d rather spend his time alone because that is where he feels most like himself. He also isn’t very active on social media, having very few posts on his Instagram. Despite this, his interviews are very engaging.
He has very captivating blue eyes and a small smirk that reinforces the bad boy idea. He not only has attractive features, but something about the way he carries himself makes him all the more fascinating.
Henry Cavill
Honestly, how has this man not won the title yet? Henry Cavill has played many iconic characters, including Superman from 2013-2022, Geralt of Riveria in “The Witcher” and Sherlock Holmes in “Enola Holmes.”
Cavill is a huge family man and talks in his interviews about how much he appreciates them and how they support him. He is also very engaging and humble.
With his broad shoulders, dark hair and square jawline, he is well-deserving of the title. Each character he plays is insanely attractive in different ways because Cavill is playing them.
Pedro Pascal
Pedro Pascal is the oldest candidate on this list at 49 years old, but Patrick Dempsey won last year, and he’s almost 10 years older, so Pascal is not out of the running. He is also Chilean, while most previous candidates have been white Americans, so his winning would be a win for diversity in the competition.
Pascal is known for his roles as Oberyn Martell in “The Game of Thrones,” Joel Miller in “The Last of Us,” The Mandalorian in “The Mandalorian” and Whiskey in “Kingsman: The Golden Circle.”
However, he was asked, along with Glen Powell, to be nominated for Sexiest Man Alive 2024 but refused the title because he says he doesn’t need the ego boost. He should have accepted the nomination because he is a very attractive candidate, and the title needs more representation.
Pascal has a very charming and charismatic personality both on and off screen. He is very humble and desires to make those around him comfortable. He is also physically attractive with his warm brown eyes and dark mustache.
Jonathan Bailey
Jonathan Bailey is a perfect candidate for this title. His roles as Lord Anthony Bridgerton in “Bridgerton” and Fiyero in “Wicked” have shown us that he is attractive and can bear the weight of the title.
His characters are charming and lovable. He would also be the first openly gay man to take on the title.
In his interviews, he talks a lot about the misconceptions and hatred he’s faced for his sexuality. His experiences haven’t shut him down. Instead, he hopes to be an inspiration to the LGBTQ community and openly talks about his experiences.
Bailey is captivating with his dark hair and toned body. Beyond that, he has a very open face that portrays both kindness and intensity.
Simu Liu
Simu Liu has gained popularity recently with his entrance into the Marvel universe as Shang-Chi in “Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings.” He also played one of the Kens in “Barbie.” He is impressive in both movies, portraying an effortless confidence.
Liu mentioned in an interview previously that he would love to hold the title of Sexiest Man Alive. Liu is very vulnerable in his interviews, openly talking about race issues and his hard climb to the fame he has now.
The 35-year-old star is also built. Between that, his symmetrical face and small smile, he deserves to be labeled as the Sexiest Man Alive. He would also be one of the first Asian men to win the title.
Krasinski did not deserve the title he received compared to the men on this list. He cannot be described as sexy, only cute. Every man on this list has sexy qualities, both inside and out, that prove them superior to this year’s choice.
Next year, I better see some of these men nominated for the title of Sexiest Man Alive.
