If there's one man that springs to mind when you think of the words 'sexiest' and 'alive' it's got to be Ryan Gosling right? From the adorable brooding powerful Noah Calhoun in tear-jerker The Notebook, to the suave and charming loveable (topless) rogue Jacob Palmer in Crazy, Stupid, Love and even as the over-protective slightly crazy killer in Drive - fact is Ryan brings the hotness to every film he graces with his stupidly good face and sultry voice. And that "photoshopped" moment. Sigh.
So it may seem pretty viable that the only reason on earth why he hasn't been named as People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive at least three times already is because he doesn't want the title and turned it down. However after rumours circulated claiming just that earlier this week the editorial director of the popular publication has stepped up to say that in fact, they just haven't offered him it. Say what?!
It all started when Thor/Avengers star Chris Hemsworth was announced as People's Sexiest Man Alive for 2014 - the 28th star to be awarded the title - following in the footsteps of recent winners Adam Levine, Channing Tatum and Bradley Cooper. Well actually, it all started with Mel Gibson in 1985, but that's a whole different story. As well as a different era.
We love you Ryan Gosling (WENN)
Well that's all well and good and there's no denying how gorgeous Chris is, but seriously some of us are going through Gosling withdrawal right now. We needed this.
