Don't get me wrong. He's a piece. Especially when he's running around, search for dramatic answers in the "Bourne" movies. But "sexiest man alive"? Not to hate on a hometown boy, but I don't know...interesting choice. "People" has named Matt Damon as the "Sexiest Man Alive" for 2007. I seriously want to be in on that meeting. Is it just a conference room filled with woman and a sprinkling of gays and they're spilling lattes over several photos and relaying sexual fantasies? Seriously, does Human Resources monitor the "People" magazine "Sexiest Man Alive" meetings? What if someone expresses that they want Matt Damon inside them? What if that's how they define their "Sexiest Man Alive"? As the only man they want inside them? And for god's sakes 0 why isn't Phillip Seymour Hoffman on that cover? *sigh* Matt told people that he would have to turn them down. Aww, bashful!
"You've given an aging suburban dad the ego-boost of a lifetime," Damon, 37, told "People", explaining why he couldn't possibly accept the crown - which perfectly demonstrates many of the reasons we chose him in the first place: irresistible sense of humor, rock solid family man, heart-melting humility.Screw that turning down the honor noise. Dude, if I won that title - I'd be on the cover dressed in nothing but some tighty-whities and my phone number painted on my chest. This is "People", son! I could get mad ass! Midwestern housewife ass!

Alls I can say is it's about damn time! Matt is WAY hotter than his BFF, who won in 2002. I'm pretty cynical about this whole 'sexiest man alive' thing anyway, b/c no one is ever going to agree on one man who is sexier than the rest (Mel Gibson...eh, George Clooney...nah, Brad Pitt....ew).
What makes Matt sexy, however, is his loyalty, his acting ability, his down-to-earth attitude...he seems like the boy next door. Only hotter.

He seems like a pretty decent vhap and I like his films.
But 'suburban Dad'? Hello, reality check please.
Did he pack in Hollywood for an office job and a semi detached house?
green cardigan says:
of course I meant to write 'chap' not 'vhap' which in fact means nada.
T-Bone says:
Did they say he turned it down? He shouldn't have for the very reasons he listed here. There is something very sexy about a middle-aged man who is loyal to his wife, loves his kids, and lives a modest life. We need a whole lot more appreciation for this in this country and Matt could have (should have) represented.
Applespice says:
You know, when I first saw that this morning my immeadiate thought was 'what the? Matt Damon?' I mean he's cute, but I'd take George Cloony or Brad Pitt ANY day over him.
Crap says:
It's the same thing with Angelina Jolie. She has no ass and looks like a corpse, but because she's "Angelina Jolie the movie star" she gets this title as "one of the most beautiful women in the world" lol which is absolutely ridiculous.
LITD says:
Sexiest Man Alive? Sorry, but not in my book. To me he is just so unattractive. Good actor though. This is how I monitor sexy. If I want him to make my toes curl and my eyes roll back in my head, he's sexy. Matt Damon makes me wanna fry him some chicken.
Jennifer says:
I had a little trouble with this one too... Matt Damon, sexiest man alive? He's always seemed to have I don't know kind of a bulbous head to me. And the idea that a suburban family man is sexy.... come on, people! Wild people are sexy, untamed, impulsive, you don't know what they're gonna do next kind of people. That's real sex appeal. I'm sorry if it's not politically correct, but in my book, suburban dads are NOT sexy! They're not supposed to be sexy. If they were sexy, they'd be running around on their wives, messing up their families, etc. I don't know who they'd pick though other than Matt. At least he's still young and masculine looking. Brad Pitt's gone old and girly. George Clooney's gone old. Did Colin Farell ever win it? I used to think he was the sexiest man alive, he's getting old too though I guess...

Matt Damon is sexy. Ocean's 11/12/13 are the trifecta of hotness. Clooney, Pitt, Damon. Hell, add Beckham and the forces of nature would destroy the earth, that much hotness should never be near each other.
He only hosted SNL once (to my knowledge)and he was hilarious. What made me love him was he did a sketch where he was Justin Timberlake and he had a dance-off with Britney. Matt can't dance (which I love) so he was busting out the running man and some other bad moves but I love him for what he didn't do. He didn't do that fucking butter-churning-Joey-Tribiana dance. Jesus God do I hate that and he didn't do it. It was then I knew I loved him.
Plus he was in Dogma. Best. Movie. Ever.
I'd vote for Matt Damon. I love that his wife is ugly. Well, ugly in terms of what he can get.
nastybugger says:
cat, I LOVED Dogma too.
In fact, I think he was one of the best parts of that movie. The scene where he and Affleck are in the gun shop and he has that line about how "mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can engage in...next to soccer" makes me laugh every time.
