Vindication is ours! Sorta.
We had a few choice words for People magazine last month when they named 36-year-old Bradley Cooper Sexiest Man Alive, rather than our very deserving boyfriend Ryan Gosling. And as it turns out, the "Hangover" star himself kinda sees our point.
Appearing on "The Graham Norton Show," Bradley good-naturedly addressed his recently bestowed title and the ensuing pro-Gosling fervor. "It's so awful I'm admitting this, but the hell with it because there was such a backlash when they announced it. And Ryan Gosling, who I love, and I just did a movie with him, and he's the greatest," he enthused.
Bradley went on to recall a "friend" sending him a link to a site comparing the two hunks. "And when I say 'friend,' I mean me alone, looking at the computer," he joked. "It's [Ryan] walking around, and he literally looks like he's in a photo shoot, like he just came off the runway. The pea coat is like this [miming an upturned collar], with the scarf! And then there's ones of me, and I literally look like the neighbor who never really comes out of his house. So it's been interesting."
Now, we never questioned Bradley's sexiness in our protest post; we simply pointed out the fact that Ryan (in addition to his drop-dead dreaminess) had a much more highlight-filled year than Mr. Cooper. So we're totally fine admitting we're pretty charmed by Bradley's self-deprecating sense of humor in this clip. Way to stay classy, guy. That is sexy.
