Sexy Ryan Goes Sexiest

People magazine has gone and done its most “Duh” thing ever, really, and named Ryan Reynolds the 2010 Sexiest Man Alive.

And I thank them for it – although I would’ve put R2 shirtless on the cover, guys.

I mean, not only is the hot Canuck talented and funny, he’s also beyond ripped, no matter how much he likes to say things like, “My body naturally wants to look like Dick Van Dyke.”

Self-deprecation is sooo attractive, Ry – stop it.

Unlike the lot of hunks out there, though, Reynolds knows he’s gotta keep it cool, but won’t object (too much) to his wife, GQ Babe of the Year Scarlett Johansson, saying things like, “Sexiest Man, take out the garbage.” That ought to help things in perspective.

Among the other studs People highlighted this year is Jon Hamm, who, according to Tina Fey, is “just great at everything,” as well as Kellan Lutz, Drake, Glee’s Matthew Morrison, Jon Bon Jovi, and True Blood’s Joe Manganiello.

All hella fine, fine choices, huh.

Update: Two-time titleholder George Clooney is happy with the choice of Ryan Reynolds as this year’s Sexiest Man Alive – especially because it reportedly means People didn’t choose Brad Pitt.
