“It’s the 20th anniversary of the issue so it’s a big deal at People, but if you go down the list of past cover stars you’ll see why no one wants it,” says a source at the mag. Although a few former “winners” like Johnny Depp, Harrison Ford and Denzel Washington seem to have escaped the accolade unscathed, many—like Mark Harmon, Patrick Swayze, Nick Nolte, and Pierce Brosnan—have watched their fortunes sink after taking the title.
Other recipients, like Jude Law, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Ben Affleck, have seen their love lives take a turn for the weird.
The curse of winning People's "Sexiest Man Alive" award: you will become a multimillionaire and one of the world's biggest movie stars, but you may have to fuck an overweight nanny, Jennifer Garner, or Angelina Jolie along the way.
UPDATE: After some refection and discussion with Colin, I realized that many of these "Sexiest" awards bring with them some kind of horrible curse. For example, the one and only winner of BlogNAC's "Jewboy Fantasy" award has to spend her life with a third-rate talk show host who we suspect enjoys rimming Adam Carolla.
