西部落：世界上最性感的男人评选揭晓

Matt Damon is the sexiest man alive

Julie Jordan tells TODAY's Ann Curry¹ why 'People' magazine picked the 'Bourne' hottie for this year's sexiest man.

Well it's always a nice surprise when you are standing² in line at a grocery store and you spot People magazine's annual 'Sexiest Man Alive' issue.

Especially, if you happen to be the 'Sexiest Man Alive', of course, you don't have that experience, but Julie Jordon is People magazine's special correspondent and she's here to reveal this year's 'Sexiest Man Alive'.

Julie! Good morning!

Good morning!

How many years have you been doing this?

Many!

And it's always fun.

Many, many, many?

22 years!

It's always good!

And you've got to tell us this morning who's gonna be on the cover.

Yes! Finally, Matt Damon for the weekend.

Wow!

Yeah!

Right! The cam(paign), the campaign worked.

You know, you know women had campaigned. Did he campaign for it?

Well, you know. Brad and Matt have always said that he is deserving. And this is a guy who actually said that he didn't want to be the sexiest man because he considers himself, you know, a suburban³ house-dad.

So we enlisted⁴ the help of friends like Ben Affleck, George Clooney. George said that he and Brad have actually worked with Matt on his walk and his posture⁵. And that's why, that's why Damon will be a very good topic here.

Oh, those guys! That's good.

I didn't think he had a bad walk.

In fact, somebody wrote a letter on his behalf, didn't that?

Actually Matt wrote a letter, yeah!

He wrote a letter.

Yeah! And it was just so great. And it only showed why we chose him, so with his permission, we will print it in the issue and it's pretty fantastic.

I say, and I think he says that you've made an aging suburban dad the ego⁶ boost of a lifetime, part of the letter.

Exactly, (.......), so...

Oh, I mean, Come on. The guys are really the born trilogy. I mean, he's hot. He's....This...

And this is his year.

I mean, in love with wife and in love with kid.

Why it takes so long?

Well, you know, we just, we, we wanted it like the, the campaign going and make sure that um, all the readers were as excited as we were. And yeah, this is just fun for him. It's fun for all of the families and friends, and it is a good story.

Alright!
