God, can you just leave Ryan Gosling alone already? He doesn't give a shit about your stupid magazine award. Damn, just go away!
For the past couple of years, Ryan Gosling has not been chosen as People's "Sexiest Man Alive," even though many People believe him to be the Sexiest Man Alive. It's an incredible burden, and one has to be proud of People's readership for shouldering it. This year instead of Ryan Gosling, People chose a big boring man.
How could this be? How could our sexiest man be ignored again and again, passed over for the likes of Adam Levine last year, and now this guy this year? An interesting report from a People's Sexiest Man Alive insider claims that perhaps he wasn't passed over at all. Hmm. From the Wrap:
"They tried a few times, especially during his huge year in 2011," an individual close to the cover negotiations said. Multiple efforts were consistently squashed by the actor's team.
"The consensus was he's too serious for it, too artsy," the individual added.
Huh. Hold on a second—too serious and too artsy for the most prestigious gossip magazine-chosen physical appearance award of our time, handed out routinely to celebrities who don't make any sense? Give me a break, buddy! People's Editorial Director attempted to set things straight with The Wrap:
"While I look forward to the day when Ryan Gosling is named Sexiest Man Alive, this was not his year. Our 2014 honoree Chris Hemsworth was our first and only choice. If you want to know why, just look at him. I mean, seriously."
See? Chris Hemsworth from Thor, remember?, was the only man on the magazine's mind. They wanted 'em, and they got 'em. Sorry, Ryan Gosling. Maybe next year!
