John F. Kennedy Jr., the 35th President of the United States, was voted People’s Sexiest Man Alive in September 1988. Afterwards, his close friend Steven M. Gillion disclosed that he considered this label a “badge of honor.”

Kennedy wasn’t afraid to flaunt his figure as a 27-year-old law student at New York University at the time. Gillion claimed that he built up his physique primarily at the gym. “He had all the physical attributes of a body builder,” said the pal.

In 1991, Patrick Swayze

Despite not being in the entertainment industry, Kennedy faced competition from celebrities such as Patrick Swayze. In 1991, the actor was crowned the Sexiest Man Alive.

Demi Moore, his co-star, reportedly called him a sweet, kind-hearted person with a “rugged, animalistic physique. He’s strong, but he has grace and agility. He’s not just this big thug throwing his muscles around out there.”

Men, in addition to women, find the tough Texas native appealing. Roland Joffe, the director, stated, “He has the sexiness of a person who is from the tip of the toenail to the top of the head involved in all the passions, fires, energies and fears that life throws up.”

Swayze was regarded as the 1990s’ it girl. He wasn’t the only actor to hold the distinction for that decade; Keanu Reeves was also an actor. But in 1994, People magazine did not bestow a title. Years later, Jess Cagle, the editorial director, was able to make a positive change.

In a Lifetime special titled “People’s Sexiest Man Alive 2015: 30 of Sexy,” Hugh Grant, Jim Carrey, and the action movie actor were retroactively given the coveted title of “94” by Cagle.

In 1997, George Clooney

They also shared how loyal the two-time Academy Award winner is. His “ER” co-star, Laura Innes, said“The rap on George is that he’s this rake, this guy’s guy. That’s true, but he is also a dear, loyal friend who would do anything for you. It’s almost like being a family member.”

In 1999, Richard Gere

The New Trend: Hot Rodent Boyfriends

The ideals of beauty for males have changed somewhat in modern times. According to a recent social media fad, guys with animal-like facial traits are perceived as more beautiful.

The most recent of these is called “Hot rodent boyfriend.” Men with features resembling rats are referred to by this word. This trend was openly discussed by Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on “Today with Hoda & Jenna” in June 2024.

It reportedly celebrates the “internet boyfriend” aesthetic. Kotb explained“They’re svelte (with) angular features and bodies,” while Hager added“Not necessarily conventionally handsome, which makes them even hotter.”

X users have embraced this trend. “Men are either eagle handsome, bear handsome, dog handsome, or reptilian handsome,” claimed one X user. “Stewart little if he was human and hot,” said another, alongside images of actor Mike Faist, who recently starred in the sports film, “Challengers.”

Someone else posted a collage of cartoon mice characters from the movies “Stewart Little” and “Ratatouillie” and wrote“I’m sorry but they’re the guys from ‘Challengers,” referring to Faist and co-star Josh O’Connor.

Another said that boyfriends who are the “golden retriever” Travis Kelce kind of guys are not the norm anymore. Good-looking rodent boyfriends have taken the place of these males. ” […] We are now entering rat boy summer, if you look rodent like you’re in luck, the girls want you!” the user commented.

Another person observed that the forty-year-old’s hair distinguishes him, noting, “Adam Driver with graying/white hair might be one of the sexiest things I’ve ever seen too. Adam Driver is the sexiest working actor and nothing will convince me otherwise,” wrote one in the interim.
