Johnny Depp is your Sexiest Man Alive

November 18th, 2009 // 64 Comments

After a fake Robert Pattinson cover made the rounds yesterday, People has officially named Johnny Depp as their 2009 Sexiest Man Alive only to honor him with the least attractive photo they could take of him. Unless bland middle-aged hipster is this year’s smelly vampire kid. I can never keep up with these trends.

    Good call on the pic. I was looking at it and thinking, “WTF? Nice pic…” and then got to the “least attractive photo” part of your text. People blows.

    He is a beautiful, cool person. I am so sick of the over airbrushing, lets see what hot really is. Pratz or whatever his name is is just skanky looking. Of course I am not a teenage girl, thank God!

    Thank science it wasn’t RPattz. They couldn’t have made a better choice; Johnny is hot (obviously), a good actor, humble and down to earth.

    Why do beautiful men try to uglify themselves, but ugly women swing so far the other way trying to be beautiful?

    personally, i do think johnny depp looks sexy (not in this picture)…but i think a lot of what makes him “sexiest guy alive” is his talent. he’s played so many big roles, and yet he never gets typecasted. every new movie, he’s a new character, and you don’t think about him as other characters in past movies. i cant say for sure since i dont personally know him (wish i did), but he seems like a pretty real, stand up guy too. but that picture was a bad choice…

    I love Johnny Depp, but Rpatz is my choice. Not because he’s good looking (which he is) and not really because of his acting (cause Edward sucked) but because of his personality, charm and sweetness. He really is down to earth, funny, sweet and not arrogant at all. It’s not because of the hype that Twilightfans created over Patz, cause i would like him the same if he hadn’t done Twilight. I just wouldn’t have had the chance to notice him, cause he did indi movies untill now.

    Agnes Peabrain,

    not only am i fat and ugly, but i’m also old. although, i’m not sure what that has to do with anything. This site is called The Superficial. if you can’t handle your fantasy man being snarked on, you might be at the wrong site.

    19 i agree, but it’s because Robert is young. Johnny used to be hot back in his day though. Now he’s old and Robert is the next pretty young thing!

    I don’t hate the guy, I just think it’s a terribly unoriginal choice. Next year George Clooney and after that Brad Pitt? Come on. There are other celebrities out there.

    THIS is the first relevant actor you guys at The Superficial have posted about.

    Normally we get upcoming Oscar winners and humanitarins like Linsay “who cares about you, just die already” Lohan and Paris “I look like a premature retarded chicken in an incubator and I’m a waste of skin” Hilton.

    The sexiest man alive is 40+ year old Johnny Depp? Come the fuck on. It’s retarded how these lists always have the same 10 male celebrities. Brad Pitt stopped being even remotely hot a long time ago (think back to when he was with Jen). And it doesn’t help that he insists on sporting the most unflattering facial hair.

    Is Jake Gyllenhal somehwere in there too? Ryan Reynolds? I mean, these guys won’t warrant a second (or first ) glance if they were just regular guys walking down the street. We definitely need more young blood in Hollywood. Too bad that a lot of the newcomers (Pattinson and Zac Efron) are total pansies.

    @ 33 Lady… Men get sexier as they age. Look at Leo DiCaprio. If the twifags keep on acting and becoming better actors, maybe someday they will be on the same level as Depp, Pitt and Clooney, all who have been voted sexiest twice.

    People voted clooney sexiest guy, therefore i can’t take anything they say serious. Whoever votes for this shit must have already gone through menopause. Jonny Depp isn’t bad, but some of the other guys: Ryan Renolds, Nick Cannon?!? No fucking way.

    I’m so glad that Johnny Depp got Sexiest Man Alive this year. He is one of the best actors of this generation, his talent is just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Sometimes he looks a bit scruffy, but who cares, he’s hot. The photo though, is not so great of him. I’m glad Robert Pattison didn’t get it either, not b/c I hate the kid or anything but b/c I’m sick of all the tweens loving him only b/c he played Edward in Twilight. He’s just an average actor, he’s cute I guess, but sexy? No, he’s not there yet.

    i’m still a teen and i totally dig depp, clooney, pitt and dicaprio as they get older. a few years back i still fancied sean connery, and he’s positively ancient… jake gyllenhaal is sort of awesome too. i do like him younger as well, he’s a bit of an exception.

    twilight idiot and high school imbecile can go wank.

    #43, totally!
