It definitely skews toward an older audience. He does still look good though, very handsome. People have also speculated that a lot of people turned it down due to the ongoing actors strike and not being able to promote their current projects. |
Really? I've always heard he's rude, self absorbed, and kind of a jerk in real life. |
IMO he looks better in this photo than he does the cover photo, but he sure does look old. ![]() |
But they didn't called her the sexiest alive. Oh boy, no way that will ever fly! |
I like the cover photo. The top photo is just generic old white dude. |
He was so dorky in his 20s. This is some Dorian Grey Bs. |
That sounds like a plausible theory, except then 56 year old Harrison Ford was given the title in the 1990s, and then 59 year old Sean Connery was selected in 1989, so People has a long history of including older men. |
Is he in something now? |
I think he looks amazing and I love the hair. SO much better than dyed hair on a man. |
He's still super attractive. A much better selection than in previous years. Obviously People mag has a certain demographic they are targeting with this selection, but as a member of that demographic, I'm here for it!

DP. Agree 100%. A nice head of well-styled hair with a touch of gray, or even mostly gray, on a man can be really sexy. |
I don't know what to tell you, but Gen Z young men and women are crazy for this guy. 20M followers on IG of adoring fans. Bad Bunny has like 50M followers on IG and another 30M+ on TikTok. Tastes have changed with the younger generation. Their sex symbols are bit more "fluid" in terms of gender norms and appearance. And Pete's sense of humor (plus height and alleged BDE) is what makes him a sex symbol. These kids are so different from us. |
+1 though my 12 yo said BB had eyes too close tougher (duh). |
I guess the whole point is for us olds not to understand why the youngs like what they do But I guess I also understand why the younger generations seem not to want to have s** with each other! |
"At 57, Dempsey is the second oldest man to be named People's Sexiest Man Alive after Sean Connery, who was bestowed the title in 1989 when he was 59 years old."
So pushing it, but there's precedent. |
