Celebrities ‘People’ should consider for its next “Sėxiest Man” cover

Damson Idris impressed audiences alongside two-time Sėxiest Man, Brad Pitt, in 2025’s F1. To say he’s attractive would be a grand understatement. In time, there’s no doubt Idris will be among the sėxiest cover stars.

Had teens in the early ‘00s picked the cover in around 2003, then Adam Brody would have already been there, done that. However, he’s been overlooked. However, now that he’s back and better than ever in Netflix’s Nobody Wants This, it’s time for People to rethink Brody for the cover, as now, he’s an Emmy nominee, and hotter than he was on the hit Fox series, The O.C.

Bowen Yang has been a standout on Saturday Night Live since he was just a featured cast member. Now, he’s a bona fide star with movies ranging from indie darlings like The Wedding Banquet to box office bangers like a little film called Wicked. 

Tom Pelphrey’s talent on screen is unmatched. He stole every scene he was in when he guest-starred on Netflix’s Ozark , and continues to do so alongside Mark Ruffalo in Task on HBO Max. 

Robert Irwin did one shirtless photo shoot and, almost overnight, was on everyone’s mind. So much so, he followed in his sister’s footsteps, or rather dance steps, and took on the world of Dancing with the Stars. There, his fandom only grew with each move. He’s got American reality TV viewers rabid.

It wasn’t an accident that Skyler Gisondo played the ultimate ladies' man in 2025’s Superman. However, it was correct.

Brian Jordan Alvarez created English Teacher on FX, a pretty addictive social media feed that showcases his moves and his impressive physique.

The way Ebon Moss-Bachrach made a creature made of rock feel like he was someone audiences wanted to marry, that’s next-level hotness.

There are a lot of hot people in The Boys universe, but Jack Quaid should not be overlooked, as he’s possibly the most adorable.

In 2015, David Beckham became the first athlete to score the cover of this issue of People. So many would agree that it’s time for another. Perhaps the Dodgers' darling Shohei Ohtani can be the second?

Call it swag, call it rizz, whatever it’s called, in his mid-70s, Liam Neeson has it.

Will Forte might not be the first or even fourteenth person in Hollywood one might think of for a list such as this, but just watch how dang adorable he is in Netflix’s The Four Seasons, where he plays opposite his former Saturday Night Live costar, Tina Fey, as well as Steve Carell, and Coleman Domingo.

Manny Jacinto went from everyone’s favorite himbo in The Good Place to a mysterious hottie in Star Wars: The Acolyte, and in 2025, he proved he was the only logical choice to be the lead in any and all RomComs with Freakier Friday. That homage to Dirty Dancing he did was spectacular.

Does Freddie Stroma come off as a bit much in Peacemaker as the lead’s obsessive bestie? Yeah, but is it also so endearing that it makes Freddie Stroma that much more endearing? Also yes.

Lewis Pullman in the Marvel Universe was something the world didn’t know they needed until Thunderbolts*.

With that voice? Yup. People needs to get all over what Teddy Swims is giving.

Who can agree that there is something insanely sexy about the way Tim Robinson approaches comedy?

Noah Wyle in The Pitt made a lot of hormones stir.

Who cares if they’re animated?! We love them!
