People magazine has revealed that actor Bradley Cooper is The Sexiest Man Alive 2011. We wholeheartedly applaud their decision.

The mag cited a list of reasons why The Hangover celeb is the perfect catch — he’s a Georgetown grad who cooks, rides a Harley, is fluent in French and is decidedly easy on the eyes.

Cooper’s reaction was interesting, “I think it’s really cool that a guy who doesn’t look like a model can have this title. I think I’m a decent-looking guy. Sometimes I can look great, and other times I look horrifying.”

The actor lost his father in January, and is very close to his mother Gloria. He was sure of one thing, “My mother is going to be so happy.”

Previous winners of the coveted title include Ryan Reynolds, Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman, Matt Damon, George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, Jude Law, Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt.

The issue is on newsstands now. See who else made this year’s list.
