Channing Tatum Replaces Bradley Cooper as People’s Sexiest Man Alive


People has named its Sexiest Man Alive for 2012, and the winner is … Channing Tatum. Channing Tatum? That’s sexy? Oh, sure, he’s got muscles and abs, and yes he showed them all off to perfection as a stripper in Magic Mike, and yes, I’ve heard some people suggest that if he hadn’t ripped his own clothes off in that move they’d have been glad to help him, and, well, sure, it’s easy to see how you could call him sexy if you looked at him just right. But mostly, it just feels like it’s time to mourn for Philly’s own Bradley Cooper, who was SMA last year and now has been dethroned. Oh, yeah, Cooper is still the sexiest man from Pennsylvania, according to People, but who cares? It’s not as if there’s any competition for that title. [People]
