Channing Tatum will be announced as “Sexiest Man Alive” by People next week, Gossip Cop has learned exclusively.

The Magic Mike star is expected to be unveiled as the magazine’s choice on November 14.

People picked Bradley Cooper last year, with Ryan Reynolds receiving the honor in 2010.

Tatum has been in the “Sexiest Man Alive” issue before, but never as the top choice.

When reached, a rep for People magazine told Gossip Cop, “We never comment on who the Sexiest Man Alive is until the issue is revealed.”

Gossip Cop also reached out to a rep for Tatum for comment.

Do you agree with the choice?

    it was obvious choice. he had good year!

  • http://twitter.com/MaryEmBern MeeZee

    He’s not sexy. There is more to being sexy than having a muscular body.

  • http://twitter.com/TheChargerVoom ChargerVoom

    it’s not about sexy for sexiest man alive for people. It’s all about popularity, who had a good year and etc. the brother had Massive good year at the box office. made history of having 3 films a crossing 100 million. Name one actor that had better year than this dude.

  • La vida es bella

    He isn’t sexy….at all–

  • Well

    I know i might be in the minority but I do think he’s sexy. From his voice to the way he carries himself is sexy. Plus, as far as we know he seems like a super sweet husband. That’s a sexy quality. He’s also has a really sexy box-office record. I like the choice.

  • Well

    Coming from someone with a Robert pattinson avatar. LoL now he isn’t sexy with his tea pouring fingers.

    horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • jessie

    Oh please. You just wish it was robert pattinson. Channing tatum had a good year, and he is attractive just maybe not to you.

  • http://twitter.com/reeceecup reeceecup™

    It should have been Ryan Gosling!! But Channing is fine too!

  • …

    The way he carries himself- nailed it! He seems like a down-to-earth, nice guy. After seeing some interviews, I finally saw what my friends did in him.

    ryan turned it down last year =[

  • guest

    lol……………….puke

  • http://twitter.com/palmina84 palmina

    thanks for the info. i respect his decision but i think “the title” would have been good publicity for Ryan.

  • ocd56

    And once again I will not buy this magazine because It should have been Rob!

  • velveteen rabbit

    he’s a complete butterface.

  • jspattzfan

    With all due respect, Channing’s had a great year at the box office. That counts for something, also, Rob Pattinson is still too young. Most of the winners are in their 30′s and 40′s. I do believe that his day will come, though

  • Chachacha

    He’s a male Butt-er-face.

  • DF

    why do they go for oldies ?

  • DF

    Really don’t think Bradley Cooper is attractive or sexy!

  • cynmx72

    ah? Hell yea!!! HE is the sexiest of all right now. GO Channing, you got my vote magic mike!

  • Stephanie Lawrence

    I really, really like Channing and adored him in Step Up, but sexiest man alive????? Uhm…..NO!

  • http://fenyolife.blogspot.cz/ Austea

    if that’s sexiest man in america, i’m soooo glad i don’t live there. he’s not sexy at all, quite unattractive actually

  • apsara

    Robert Pattinson is the sexiest man alive !!!

  • rocknmovie

    What? This ugly fat-faced meathead, sexiest man alive? The level is getting lower and lower… He is so unattractive.

  • Georgia

    LOL. This perfectly describes my thoughts. I’d throw in a little “cro-magnon” as well. Nice guy, great personality, but…sexiest? Sorry, no…

  • laura

    Once again People gets it WRONG. Channing is a nice guy. But Sexiest Man Alive? NO. In a few years people will look back at the last 7 or so choices and think WTH were they thinking. This is all PR nothing more and that is why they picked him based on BO not the reality. Sorry won’t be buying this issue either.

    Oh please. I just had a fur ball.

  • Rita

    I agree. I live in Italy and 75% of the young men one meets in the street are much more attractive. He was actually defined in some Italian blogs as ‘a big, rather corpulent, inexpressive boy’. He is not terrible at all, mind you, but sexy he is not and, as far as I am concerned, is rather unattractive, probably due to jug-ears and short, taurine neck. As for Gosling, he did not turn down anything last year. This is Lainey’s skilfully fabricated urban legend. He was in fact number 10. Turns down number 1 and accepts number 10? I will not mention Pattinson because I feel merciful today.

  • Rob fan

    Amen to that, this is robs year and you can’t exude sexiness like rob. The jaw porn alone will kill you not to mention the sex hair.

  • Tatum for the win

    Girl please, Gosling did not turn it down last year. Lainey is all about her fellow Candian. Tatum may not be a beauty in the face but neither is Gosling. If and I mean If your precious fugly turned it down it was for more publicity. I am convinced that whole campaigne last year for Ryan losing was another publicity game that Ryan and his people have been putting on for the last two years. Gosling has become a publicity whore. This sexies man of the year is nothing but PR now. I am pretty sure Clooney had something to do with Tatum winning this year. That his new best friend but at least Tatum;s movies make money unlike Clooney and the candian fugly. If this true about Tatum good for him but Tatum stay far away from Clooney, he wants something.

  • Jenny

    Agree. The man has a thick neck, beady eyes, and is to me, rather unattractive. But these surveys are all based upon who either has a movie coming out or had a good year at the box office and will give People a photo shoot and an interview. Recently, their choices have been suspect to put it mildy and this year is no exception.

  • Jen

    Just because someone in gossip, who has been wrong about alot of things, says something, does not make it a fact. He has never publicy said that, so, it cannot be used as “he turned it down”.

  • Rob fan

    He needs his teeth fixed ASAP

  • TeamChanning

    Out of all the guys I’ve heard in the running for the title Channing is the one I want to get it. He’s very sexy and deserves the honor.

  • American Magazine

    He bought that award just like Brad did last year. Gosling didn’t have enough money or box office flex to buy it. Although sexy is more than looks and body, both men and women like Tatum. Tat is not threatening to men. Pattinson is gross looking I mean dirty looking like he never bathes but it might get it one day, I mean Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt did both really gross with hygiene.

    But…………..It’s an American Magazine so do not hold your breath for a non American who have more PR money that RPatz.
    Ps stop trying to push Rpatz and Gosling , people are pretty sick of them (no pun intended). There is such a thing as overexposesd, Tatum is not (also no pun intended).

  • Highest bidder wins

    It’s say something with After Elton 100 does a better job of selecting sexiest man alive for the last 4 years than people. People’s last four choices including this one is suspect yes money talks it’s becoming a joke.

  • HenniePennie

    Yeah real sexy – the Pamela Anderson for women.

  • HenniePennie

    And his ears pinned back and his neck narrowed. That should do it.

  • Mimi

    ” The Sexiest Man Alive “, oh yes Lord. To all the ladies, that haven’t seen ” Magic Mike “, get a copy, this is the ultimate chick flick. Before watching, have a man on call ( husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend ) If your heart is beating, you’ll need to be with somebody.

  • guest

    No! No! No! He is really not that sexy compared to Ryan Gosling who should have won last year. I hope People doesn’t think that since Ryan wasn’t chosen last year, he has blown his chances. He MUST have his turn! And please, after the year Rob Pattinson has had, he should not be considered this year.

  • Rita

    I agree with you. Also, compared to Gosling, Tatum is Adonis. At least he does not have that massive chin and those large, child bearing, hips.

  • nina

    ughhhhhhhh, people are crazy

  • Lolo Andre

    I just don’t understand, how can doing well in box office makes you the sexiest man alive…

  • Lolo Andre

    Uggh now Tarazan aka Kellan Lutz will think he have a chance

  • http://www.facebook.com/okiemom79 Melissa Thomas

    I gotta say Jensen Ackles! I can’t believe he has not made the cover. Has he even been a runner up?

  • danie

    hes fugly

  • Seriously

    Boooooooooo! Until it’s Ryan Gosling, it’s all a farce

  • Exoticsense

    Always Ryan Gossling. I guess someone is prejudiced toward him. There is a reason he is always runner up but not number one yet. Hopefully next year, he gets what he deserves.

  • Jinx

    Oh my gosh I wish! He’s my number one choice ;)
