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.

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.

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.
