Johnny Depp

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:55:57 GMT

(B. June 9, 1963) 47. Quirky, talented, and so damn sexy. Not only the sexiest actor in his forties, Johnny Depp is also the sexiest actor in Hollywood, PERIOD.

Robert Downey Jr.

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:56:07 GMT

(B. April 4, 1965) 45. Handsome, adorable, and just plain irresistible. I was in love since I first saw him in a movie, and it was long before "Iron Man" came out!

Patrick Dempsey

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:56:19 GMT

(B. January 13, 1966) 45. Known to "Greys Anatomy" fans as "McDreamy," and for a good purpose! This charming actor is extremely sexy in everything I've seen him in.

George Clooney

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:56:28 GMT

(B. May 6, 1961) 49. Pushing fifty, George Clooney is still considered one of the sexiest men in Hollywood. He is one of the most charming men alive.

Will Smith

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:56:39 GMT

(B. September 25, 1968) 42. This likable actor/rapper has been extremely popular for many years, not to mention very hot. He's also been holding up very nicely.

Matthew Fox

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:56:48 GMT

(B. July 14, 1966) 44. This handsome star of TV show "LOST" is tall, affable, and downright sexy. In my opinion, he is one of the hottest men on TV.

Ralph Fiennes

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:57:03 GMT

(B. December 22, 1962) 48. This smoldering British actor is sexy as the hero or the villain, except for when he's playing ugly Voldemort in "Harry Potter."

Hank Azaria

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:57:12 GMT

(B. April 25, 1964) 46. This cute, slightly nerdy character actor, famous for his many voices on "The Simpsons," is hot and overall attractive! You may not know it, but he's got a pretty hot body.

John Cusack

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:57:25 GMT

(B. June 28, 1966) 44. Intelligent, edgy, and charismatic, John Cusack has definitely caught my attention. Did I also mention I think he's pretty cute?

Hugh Jackman

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:57:41 GMT

(B. October 12, 1968) 42. Buff and appealing, this Aussie-born hunk deserved his title as "Sexiest Man Alive" in 2008. He was also on Broadway, which I find pretty cool.

Matt Damon

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:58:01 GMT

(B. October 8, 1970) 40. A newbie into his forties, Matt Damon has been one of the sexiest screen heartthrobs since he was young, and is still looking decent!

Rob Lowe

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:58:12 GMT

(B. March 17, 1964) 46. He's this high on this list because he's really hot, but he's done some pretty gross things. It's a surprise I didn't put him lower on the list.

Tom Cruise

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:58:23 GMT

(B. July 3, 1962) 48. He's another one of those mega-famous sex symbols of Hollywood. Honestly, who can resist that smile? Not everyone will agree to this.

Brad Pitt

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 16:58:33 GMT

(B. December 18, 1963) 47. The most sought-after, publicized celebrity in all of Hollywood. A total babe, of course, but I'm tired of hearing about Bradgelina all the time.

Owen Wilson

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:00:35 GMT

(B. November 18, 1968) 42. Mainly known for his comedy films, I always found this blond, surfer dude type actor attractive in his own, unusual way.

Chris O'Donnell

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:01:27 GMT

(B. June 26, 1970) 40. Ever since I saw "Batman Forever," I had a crush on this soft-spoken, innocent-looking cutie. I have to admit, he was one hot Robin!

David Boreanaz

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:01:39 GMT

(B. May 16, 1969) 41. Like Rob Lowe, he isn't the best human being, but I had to place him high on the list because he's pretty damn fine. He is a hottie on TV's "Bones."

Josh Holloway

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:01:53 GMT

(B. July 20, 1969) 41. He is Matthew Fox's sexy foil on "LOST"- a bad boy who's pretty darn gorgeous. Jack is my favorite, but my mom is in love with Sawyer.

Cameron Mathison

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:02:03 GMT

(B. August 19, 1969) 41. This handsome, blue-eyed actor stars on ABC's "All My Children," and hardly ever wears a shirt. I was so excited when I met him at Super Soap Weekend in Disney!

Clive Owen

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:02:20 GMT

(B. October 3, 1964) 46. I've actually never seen a movie of his yet, though I know enough about him and his movies. All I need to know is that he's a really hot, sexy British actor.

Jamie Foxx

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:02:33 GMT

(B. December 17, 1967) 42. He's another one who considers himself a rapper, but I consider him more of an actor. I thought he was very attractive when I saw the movie "Dreamgirls."

Paul Rudd

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:02:40 GMT

(B. April 6, 1969) 41. This boyishly handsome star is in lots of bad movies, but that doesn't stop him from being hot. He's a hot comedian. How sexy is that?

Jim Carrey

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:02:49 GMT

(B. January 17, 1962) 49. Everyone knows him as the over-the-top, rubber-faced comedian, but Jim Carrey really isn't bad-looking. In fact, he's kinda really attractive.

Daniel Craig

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:02:59 GMT

(B. March 2, 1968) 43. This buff, blond, British Bond actor (try saying that five times fast), though older than forty, is still the object of many young people's desire.

John Stamos

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:03:29 GMT

(B. August 19, 1963) 47. This guy was on "Full House" for a while and was quite a heartthrob, and now he's on "Glee." He's in his forties and he still looks pretty hot. There have been rumors about his behavior over the years, but who knows for sure.

Matt Dillon

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:03:38 GMT

(B. February 18, 1964) 47. He was way hotter when he was a teen idol, but the sexiness isn't gone completely. No matter how old, he is still a sexy bad boy.

Matthew McConaughey

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:03:48 GMT

(B. November 4, 1969) 41. Matthew McConaughey is a really hot, sexy California surfer dude. He sorta reminds me of Owen Wilson, and he looks darn good in the Dolce Cabana ads. Good thing he hardly ever wears a shirt.

Keanu Reeves

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:04:09 GMT

(B. September 2, 1964) 46. A heartthrob in the era of Paula Abdul and Sandra Bullock, this exotic, partly Asian actor was always considered to be a real sex symbol.

David Wenham

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:04:32 GMT

Eric Bana

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:04:44 GMT

(B. August 9, 1968) 42. When I saw this actor in the trailer for "The Time Traveler's Wife," I was like "Who is that hot guy?" Just forget he's also King Henry 8th.

Ethan Hawke

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:04:53 GMT

(B. November 6, 1970) 40. Another newbie into his forties, I thought this man was attractive when I first saw him in "Dead Poet's Society." And he's come a looong way from then!

Jason Isaacs

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:05:27 GMT

(B. June 6, 1963) 47. Thanks to a number of evil roles (in "The Patriot," "Peter Pan," and "Harry Potter"), he is known for playing the classy, sexy villain. I think he's particularly hot as Lucius Malfoy in HP.

Billy Zane

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 17:05:14 GMT

(B. February 24, 1966) 45. Though he's very bald in real life, he certainly isn't in his movies! He wowed female viewers with his sexiness in "Titanic" and "Charmed."

Javier Bardem

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:53:53 GMT

(B. March 1, 1969) 42. Married to Penelope Cruz, having co-starred in "Eat Pray Love," and nominated for an Academy Award this past year, this sexy Spanish star has quite a career for himself. He's pretty hot if you ask me.

Brendan Fraser

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:02:26 GMT

(B. December 3, 1968) 42. Though not looking so great anymore, Brendan Fraser used to be hot and sexy. For that, he definitely deserves a place on this list.

Russell Crowe

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:02:46 GMT

(B. April 7, 1964) 46. Though scruffy and pudgier now, and even though he has temper tantrums, Russell Crowe was hot and buff once a time. JUST saying.

Edward Norton

Mon, 02 May 2011 16:27:03 GMT

(B. August 18, 1969) 41. He is a hot, talented actor and definitely deserves a place on this list.
