November 16, 2011

People magazine has named actor Bradley Cooper this year's Sexiest Man Alive, succeeding 2010 winner Ryan Reynolds. "I'm waiting for Dax Shepard to come out, and that it's an episode of 'Punk'd,' " Cooper, 36, told People. Best known for the 2009 comedy "The Hangover" and its 2011 sequel, the star was married to actress Jennifer Esposito for four months before she filed for divorce in May 2007. Cooper later lived for a short time with his "Case 39" co-star Renée Zellweger before they split up early this year. Liam Hemsworth was runner-up on People's list.
