It's official, Johnny Depp is the sexiest man alive (according to a magazine). The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star has been awarded the title by the US magazine People for the second time, after his first 'win' in 2003. A spokesperson for the publication said: "At 46, the father of two still reigns as Hollywood's most irresistible iconoclast; as one-of-a-kind as his beloved 15-year-old boots and as smouldering as his favourite Cuban cigars. He has had women swooning since his days as a teen detective on '21 Jump Street'."

False reports had circulated earlier this week that 'Twilight' star Robert Pattinson had been awarded the title. With matching photo of a 'fake' People Magazine cover scan, Robert Pattinson was hailed as the sexiest man of the fake magazine - which is kinda funny. Other stars included in the list are Bradley Cooper, David Beckham, Gilles Marini, Nick Cannon, Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Daughtry. (Photo: ANG/Fame Pictures)
