NEW YORK, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Hollywood actor Matt Damon has been named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive -- an honor previously bestowed upon Damon's pals George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
"You've given an aging suburban dad the ego-boost of a lifetime," Damon told People.
The 32-year-old star of "The Departed," "Syriana," "Good Will Hunting," "Dogma" and the "Bourne" and "Ocean's" trilogies, has joked for years about his campaign to win the title, while Clooney and Pitt have repeatedly told the press they think he deserved the honor.
Also on People's sexy man list this year are Pitt, Damon's long-time friend and collaborator Ben Affleck, Dave Annable, Javier Bardem, Patrick Dempsey, Johnny Depp, Adrian Grenier, Will Yun Lee, Shemar Moore, James McAvoy, Ryan Reynolds, Will Smith and Justin Timberlake.
