In 1994, Keanu Reeves
In the 1990s, Swayze was regarded as a heartthrob. During that decade, fellow actor Keanu Reeves also held the title, so he wasn’t alone.
But in 1994, no title was given out by People magazine. Its editorial director, Jess Cagle, didn’t make a change until years later.
In the Lifetime special “People’s Sexiest Man Alive 2015: 30 of Sexy,” Cagle, along with Hugh Grant and Jim Carrey, gave the action movie star the coveted title of ’94 retrospectively.
In 1997, George Clooney
George Clooney won the title of Sexiest Man Alive in 1997, three years after it was officially rejected. In his debut cover, the experienced star’s friends raved about how attractive he was.
They also discussed the two-time Academy Award winner’s loyalty. “The rap on George is that he’s this rake, this guy’s guy,” stated Laura Innes, his co-star from “ER.” That is accurate, but he is also a devoted friend who will stop at nothing to support you. It’s comparable to having family.
In 1999, Richard Gere
Richard Gere was 50 years old when he was named the Sexiest Man Alive in 1999, whilst Clooney was 36 at the time. As a result, his ex-girlfriends bragged about how attractive he was.
Among them was designer Von Furstenberg, who acknowledged, “I was drawn to his biker-like gait. I was certain that I would catch up to him. I enticed him.
In 2001, Pierce Brosnan
In 2001, Pierce Brosnan—best known for his part in the “James Bond” films—won the title of Sexiest Man Alive. Julianna Margulies, his co-star, thought he was a nice family man.
She said, “When you see a gorgeous man holding hands with his wife and holding his baby, there’s nothing more sexy in the world.”
