Clooney Again Picked As 'Sexiest Man'
NEW YORK (CBS) ―
People magazine has once again named George Clooney as their pick for "Sexiest Man Alive," citing the 45-year-old actor as funny, driven, compassionate and - oh yeah - really good looking.
Clooney beat out competition from the likes of Brad Pitt, Jamie Foxx, Justin Timberlake and Patrick Dempsey.
People magazine assistant managing editor Robin Micheli sat down with CBS Early Show anchor Rene Syler Wednesday morning for the announcement.
"He's gorgeous, first of all, elegant but down-to-earth, very funny, self deprecating," said Micheli. "He's pretty perfect."
This year marks Clooney's second turn on the "sexiest man" Cover, a record shared with Brad Pitt.
Diddy is also on the magazine's list.
"He's not just a rapper," said Micheli. "He's a fashion designer, entrepreneur and about to be the father of twins. He says he likes his hands to feel soft when he touches a woman's face, who doesn't love that?"
