Matt Damon has topped People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” - an honor previously bestowed upon Damon’s pals George Clooney and Brad Pitt.

Damon told People:

“You’ve given an aging suburban dad the ego-boost of a lifetime.” 

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 coveted title, while Brad Pitt and George Clooney have told the press that they think he deserved the honor.
