BRAD PITT IS VOTED THE SEXIEST MAN IN THE WORLD BY COMPANY READERS
MINI DEN SEXIER THAN BECKS - OFFICIAL
It looks as though David Beckham‘s penalty miss in Portugal has affected more than just his prowess on the pitch. For the second year in a row David has slipped down another two spots in Company magazine‘s sixth annual 100 Sexiest Men poll and only just remains in the top five. It‘s in stark contrast to the performances of our two other home-grown boys at the top of the list. The gorgeous Nigel Harman has rocketed up a massive 63 places to take the number three spot while runner up Orlando Bloom has finally cemented his leading man status by coming a very respectable second. For the first time ever Brad Pitt has won proving that turning 40 and donning a leather skirt can do wonders for a man‘s sex appeal. The fact that he‘s one half of Hollywood‘s golden couple can‘t hurt either.
Comeback king Peter Andre has also made a surprise debut in the list as our highest new entry. Although Peter has also landed himself a spot at number 3 in the top ten unsexiest men list so opinion must be divided.
Robbie continues his downward slump. The once guaranteed winner has slipped down more than just the music charts over the past year. And perhaps alleged reports of Justin "trousersnake" Timberlake‘s female conquests (despite being in a relationship with one of the world‘s most beautiful women) has soured his appeal amongst young women. On the unsexy front, Michael Jackson continues his domination of the unsexiest list though he has some new company this year in the form of Justin Timberlake and Justin Hawkins. They‘re not quite unsexy enough to knock him off the top spot, well not this year anyway.
Company editor Victoria White says, "It‘s fantastic that three out of the top five are good-old British boys, from all walks of life! We‘re so accustomed to seeing Hollywood celebs as the sexiest in the world, it‘s nice to know we can hold our own in the lust stakes. I‘m very surprised to see Peter Andre entering the chart so high up - but then again each to their own!"
