The sexiest man of 2016 according to People magazine is the actor Dwayne Johnson, who has had an amazing year behind him. Among other things, Forbes magazine recently named him the highest-paid movie actor. The Rock succeeded former footballer David Beckham, and before him, Chris Hemsworth, Adam Levine, Channing Tatum, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman, Matt Damon, George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, Jude Law, Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt, Pierce Brosnan and others. The first to receive this flattering title was Mel Gibson in 1985. Since then, only three non-actors have become the sexiest men in the world, namely John F. Kennedy, Adam Levine and last year's 'winner' David Beckham.
