People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive

     People Magazine recently announced their choice for 2012 Sexiest Man Alive and the honor goes to ... drumroll please ... Channing Tatum!  He made quite a few hearts quicken with his movie Magic Mike, got people laughing  in 21 Jump Street and made women sigh in The Vow.  All that in 2012 alone!  He has, I think, four (4) films slated next year.  Busy, busy man.

     Here's the list of People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive since it began in 1985 (*twice honored).

     I've hi-lited those who are over 50 yrs old and I must say, Richard Gere has aged beautifully, coming in really close at 2nd place is George Clooney & Mark Harmon.  OK fine, I'm a sucker for salt n pepper hair :)

The elevator scene in the movie Shall We Dance is absolutely swoon worthy!!

My Top 5 Picks (over 50):

    

     Richard Gere.  Be still my beating heart.

    

      George Clooney.  Like fine wine.

      Pierce Brosnan.  Still a charmer. 

      Harrison Ford.  Gimme Han Solo anytime :) 

     Mark Harmon.  NCIS forever!

     Here's hoping the young 'uns will age as gracefully as these gentlemen :)
