In the mind of a man, being named People magazine’s 'Sexiest Man Alive' is one of the highest honors. Well, at least I can imagine it is since I’m a woman, but the idea of having millions of women fawn all over you and being so good-looking that they slap your face on the cover of their annual issue is kind of a big deal.

Channing Tatum was named this year’s hottest guy (he can thank Magic Mike) but what about the past winners? You know, THE George Clooney, THE Brad Pitt? These men have stood the test of time and are still as hot and dreamy as ever. Some of the other past cover men we can’t say the same about. Remember Nick Nolte?

Here are our five past winners of People’s 'Sexiest Man Alive' title and they look just as good – or better – than they did in their prime.

Let’s state the obvious: Channing Tatum is incredibly sexy, right? Especially after watching him dance in very little clothing on the big screen in Magic Mike. Now reports are surfacing that Channing will take the ultimate male honor this year and be named PEOPLE’s 'Sexiest Man Alive!'

Sources spilled this hot news story, but when reached out for a comment a rep for PEOPLE told Gossip Cop, “We never comment on who the Sexiest Man Alive is until the issue is revealed.” Sounds like a big, fat YES to me!
