1. Idris Elba

2. Mahershala Ali
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Mahershala Ali and his breakout roles in Moonlight, House of Cards,and Hidden Figures is all that is right with the world. He won an Oscar, but his Sexiest Man Alive title is long overdue. Peace and blessings, indeed.

5. Oscar Isaac
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Though he's gone on to be the breakout star in Star Wars, Oscar Isaac's camaraderie with his cat in Inside Llewyn Davisshould've won him the Sexiest Man Alive title since 2013. Long overdue, People.
6. Mark Ruffalo
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Do we need to explain this? Mark Ruffalo, the Hulk, the social activist, and the go-to guy for all your swooning needs. He's also an amazing dancer (Have you seen 13 Going On 30?).
7. All the Chris's
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Why focus on one country singer when you can have four actors all with the same name grace the cover? Individually they are beautiful, together they are a powerhouse of Chris's ready to take over the world.
8. Alexander Skarsgård
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable A rising star that grace the big screen in The Legend of Tarzan(shirtless for most of it) and won an Emmy for Big Little Liars. His brother is also Pennywise, so be very afraid Shelton.
9. Luke Bryan

10. Jeff Goldblum - MVP
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable It's surprising Jeff Goldblum hasn't graced the cover of every magazine for every title known to man. He's bringing sexy from the past, present and near future. Blake Shelton wishes he was on his level of royalty.
