Will is like fine wine — he keeps getting better with age. Whether you’re a fan of ‘Fresh Prince’ Will, ‘Bad Boys’ Will or ‘Concussion’ Will, one thing is for sure. He is a gorgeous, smart & accomplished Black man. And that is seriously sexy!
3. Michael BAE Jordan

Michael B Jordan may not be People’s Sexiest Man Alive, but he’s one of ours. The ‘Creed’ star Michael B Jordan has enough acting skill and abs to carry the list.
4. Morris Chestnut

When is comes to the sexiest man alive, Morris Chestnut will forever be the go-to name for Black men. ‘The Perfect Guy’ is an obvious choice for our list. And with a prime network show ‘Rosewood,’ Morris just might snag the title.
5. Michael Ealy

With a number one movie in 2015, ‘The Perfect Guy’ hottie Michael Ealy is a high contender for the Sexiest Man Alive.
6. John David Washington

Denzel Washington was replaced on the list this year by his equally handsome son John David. Between his appearance on HBO’s ‘Ballers’ and viral pic on Instagram, the world was introduced to the newest hunk on the block.
7. Denzel Washington

But let’s not kid ourselves here — Denzel is the O.G. of Hollywood sexiness.
8. Omari Hardwick
!['Power' Season Two Series Premiere](https://ionehellobeautiful.staging.go.ione.nyc/wp-content/uploads/sites/50/2015/11/14464824875497.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=704&crop=0%2C0%2C100%2C480px)
If you’re a fan of Starz series ‘Power,’ Omari Hardwick is probably the sexiest man alive in your book. Well…he’s up there on ours too.
9. Drake

The Canadian rapper had a banner year in 2015. His rap beef with Meek Mill established his inner killer and his thick beard made him a sex symbol with the ladies. We wouldn’t be surprised if Drizzy made the cut.
10. Trai Beyers
![Television Academy Event For 'Empire' - A Performance Under The Stars At The Grove](https://ionehellobeautiful.staging.go.ione.nyc/wp-content/uploads/sites/50/2015/11/14464796412692.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=319&crop=0%2C0%2C100%2C480px)
‘Empire’ star Trai Beyers is TV’s sexiest oldest brother. With a number one TV show, Trai is definitely on People’s radar.
11. Jesse Williams

Our intellectual BAE Jesse Williams, doesn’t just have a sexy face, he’s a doctor on one of our favorite shows and a Black Lives Matter activist.
12. President Obama
