Matt Damon Named Sexiest Man Alive

Posted by ExtraTV Staff on November 14, 2007 7:32 AM

His buddy George Clooney had the title before him, and so did Brad Pitt. Now Matt Damon has been named People’s Sexiest Man Alive.

“They are taller than me, but I’m more macho,” he joked to "Extra." “I pack more testosterone into my smaller frame.”

The mag says they chose the “rock solid family man” for his “irresistible sense of humor” and “heart-melting humility.”

"You've given an aging suburban dad the ego-boost of a lifetime," Matt, 32, told People in a hand-written letter. “My 9-year-old stepdaughter now thinks I’m cool – well, cooler.”

The “Bourne Ultimatum” star beat out America’s favorite man in scrubs, Patrick Dempsey, for the coveted spot, as well as “E.R.” doc John Stamos.

Matt’s childhood friend Ben Affleck poked fun at his new title, joking, “For a guy like Matt, 4'11", 295 lbs., it’s a heck of an achievement… Congratulations, Matt! You did it!”

To old…give me a ******* break. He looks better now than when he was younger. YUMMY is the only way to describe him. I like Matt Damon, but he is just not in the same league.

Don’t you understand why he was picked?? Three substantial, important, and, finally, finally, REAL reasons why ANYONE is sexy! Looks last for ten minutes - what’s underneath the gloss and airbrushing is the true gauge of sexy. I just can’t believe that People has matured and developed such depth - there IS hope!

Sorry Matt - I love your movies (except the last two Oceans) but even though you seem like a really nice guy - I don’t find you terribly sexy.

Christian Bale is the best and most….
