Johnny Depp was named People magazine's "sexiest man alive" for a second time on Wednesday, joining an elite¹ club of double honorees that includes George Clooney and Brad Pitt.

《人物》杂志评选的本年度“世上最性感男士”于本周三揭晓，强尼•戴普再度当选。此前两度获评该称号的仅有乔治•克鲁尼和布拉德•皮特。

 People magazine described the swashbuckling（恃强凌弱的，虚张声势的） "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie star as "the king of cool with the killer² cheekbones（颊骨）". Depp, who also took the title in 2003, succeeded 2008 winner Hugh Jackman.

Asked why Depp, 46, had won a second time, People senior editor Kate Coyne told the CBS Early Show: "He was sexy ten years ago, he'll be sexy ten years from now. He appeals to multiple generations of women -- and for many different reasons to different kinds of women."

Depp's recent roles include 1930s gangster³ John Dillinger in "Public Enemies" and the murderous London barber "Sweeney Todd". His next screen role is as the Mad Hatter in director Tim Burton's adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland" which is due for release in March 2010.

In real life, Coyne noted⁴ that Depp, 46, was also a committed father of two.

"He's sort of everything," Coyne said. "He's a guy's guy, kind of a bad boy, he's a respected artist and actor. You know, he's got a little bit of everything."

People also gave a nod（点头） to the popularity of vampire⁵-themed movies and TV shows, adding the likes of "Twilight⁶" heartthrob（心跳，柔情） Robert Pattinson and "Vampire Diaries" star Ian Somerhalder to its sexiest issue.

Matt Bomer, star of the new USA TV series "White Collar" was named sexiest rising star. Other newcomers to People's 2009 list include "American Idol⁷" runner-up Adam Lambert and "Glee" actors Matthew Morrison, Cory Monteith and Mark Salling.

Past winners of People's sexiest man alive title include Matt Damon (2007), Matthew McConaughey (2005), Jude Law (2004) and Ben Affleck (2002).
