John Krasinski, People's choice for most attractive man, sparks debate over the selection.
2024's titleholder has been crowned. These famous faces make our shortlist.
Annually, People magazine features a cover story celebrating the most alluring man. This year's selection is John Krasinski, praised for his contributions as writer, actor, and producer in the film 'If'.
Historically, People selects a widely recognized figure, not necessarily the most prominent celebrity of the moment.
Krasinski's win has generated some criticism. He's best known for his role as Jim Halpert in 'The Office', Lee Abbott in 'A Quiet Place', and the lead in Prime Video's 'Jack Ryan', which concluded in 2023 with a sequel in the works.
Glen Powell
The "Twisters" and "Hit Man" star had a significant breakthrough in 2024, winning the magazine's reader's poll for most attractive summer action star. Coincidentally, Powell's image graced the cover of Vanity Fair's Hollywood Issue on the same day People announced their choice for Sexiest Man.
Hugh Jackman
Jackman's reprise of Logan in "Deadpool & Wolverine" delighted fans, evident in the film's box office success, exceeding $1.3 billion. His engaging interactions with co-star Ryan Reynolds, including a surprise shirtless appearance, greatly contributed to his popularity.
Pedro Pascal and Paul Mescal
Choosing between the two leads in "Gladiator II" is difficult, so we'll abstain. Pascal, an Emmy nominee with prominent roles in "The Mandalorian" and "The Last of Us", was ready for a major film role. Mescal, the Oscar-nominated Irish heartthrob, transitioned from emotional dramas to action, becoming famous for his short-shorts attire, even inspiring a look-alike contest.
Denzel Washington
Another "Gladiator II" star, and the 1996 winner, deserves individual mention. He steals the show in the new film. His family is also gaining attention—on November 22nd, "The Piano Lesson", directed by his son Malcolm, starring his son John David Washington, will be available on Netflix.
Jeremy Allen White
After winning two Emmys in one year for "The Bear", White's impact on popular culture is undeniable. His role revived interest in "dirtbag line cooks", and of course, his memorable Calvin Klein advertisement.
Jonathan Bailey
After captivating viewers as the lead in Season 2 of "Bridgerton", Bailey now plays the charming Fiyero in one of the year's most anticipated films, "Wicked".
Dev Patel
While Timothée Chalamet sparked a global look-alike trend, Dev Patel has maintained its popularity among fans of heartthrobs. His performance in the action film "Monkey Man", released in April, remains memorable.
Travis Kelce
Beyond his athletic achievements and role as a prominent figure in the "Eras Tour", Kelce has showcased his acting skills with a significant hosting role, a notable part in a new Ryan Murphy series, and several upcoming film projects.
Andrew Garfield
After a moving press tour for his film "We Live in Time", discussing grief and love, Garfield participated in a viral Chicken Shop Date interview with Amelia Dimoldenberg, igniting online interest in chance encounters.
Marcello Hernandez
Despite the political satire dominating attention, "Saturday Night Live" cast member Marcello Hernandez has starred in numerous viral skits, positioning him as a potential breakout star.
Joshua Jackson
Jackson stars in the unconventional medical drama "Doctor Odyssey", recently gaining viral attention for an early threesome scene. Fans of "Dawson's Creek" know the actor's long-standing appeal.
Manny Jacinto
Despite its cancellation, "The Acolyte" garnered a devoted following. Jacinto, revealed as the antagonist, initiated the trend of the "Thirst Trap Villain".
Nicholas Galitzine
The recent surge in age-gap romances has been noted, with "The Idea of You", starring Galitzine as a pop star (unmistakably not Harry Styles) and Anne Hathaway, leading the way. His recurring role as princes highlights his suitability for such roles.
Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor
Alongside Zendaya, the stars of "Challengers" significantly popularized this year's tennis-inspired fashion trend, rejecting any comparison to rodents.
