Johnny Depp “Sexiest Man Alive” Title “A Joke”

Johnny Depp is still raising his eyebrows at earning People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” title – admitting he initially thought the honor was a “joke.”

The Pirates of the Caribbean star, now 46, was christened the world’s most attractive man in the lifestyle mag’s annual poll of entertainment’s most handsome stars. Depp previously scooped the award in 2003, but insists he doesn’t belong on the list, next to other double winners like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Richard Gere.

“That should be someone else, that confuses me beyond recognition. I don’t know how to react,” Depp told The Associated Press Monday. “I really thought it was a joke.”
