Academy Award winner George Clooney (Syriana) was again named by People Magazine as the 'Sexiest Man Alive' on Wednesday.

Clooney, now 45 years old, is the second celebrity to top the annual list twice. The first one was Brad Pitt, Sexiest Man Alive in 1995 and 2000. Clooney's first was on 1997.

Cynthia Sanz, a member of the magazine’s editorial panel said Clooney was selected for the following factors: his big movies came out at the end of last year, he has been active in the campaign to help people in Darfur, and of course, he’s great looking.

Brad Pitt was also considered this year together with Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp and the newest Mr. Bond Daniel Craig.
