People magazine's sexiest man alive 2012

Channing Tatum has been named 2012's sexiest man alive by People magazine.

It's a high honour for the actor who bared nearly all in Magic Mike - previous winners include George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and last year's victor, Bradley Cooper.

The showbiz glossy's bumper issue includes dozens of A-list men, who can be seen in all their glory in our photo gallery, but only one man can lay claim to being 2012's sexiest man alive. Enjoy!
