00:00Hi, I'm comedian, actress, producer, and book publisher Phoebe Robinson,
00:06and I'm sharing my top five past sexiest men alive.
00:12Obviously, we have to include Denzel Washington, okay?
00:18Icon, legend, actor, director.
00:22Seriously, he is so fine.
00:24His flawless skin, he's got that twinkle in his eye, okay?
00:30Listen, at this point, he's granddaddy-zo, okay?
00:34Okay, George Clooney is the epitome of smooth.
00:39He can write, okay?
00:40He can act, and he can direct, okay?
00:44He's very smart.
00:45Love a man who reads.
00:47He has an amazing sense of humor.
00:50We love someone.
00:50He's a little prankster.
00:52He likes to do his little jokes.
00:54Plus, he's married to Amal, and honestly, like, Amal is kind of cooler than him.
00:59Of course, no list can be complete without Aegis Elba, okay?
01:08So he's a talented actor, master of accents.
01:11He's gorgeous.
01:12He's talented.
01:14He's funny.
01:14He did The Office.
01:16He has versatility, okay?
01:18He's also happily married.
01:20We love that.
01:20We love commitment and a man.
01:23Okay, so this one is a TBT, to a simpleton, right?
01:28I'm talking about JFK Jr., not the dad, E.O.W.A.
01:34JFK Jr.
01:36First of all, he was out here rocking these hoochie daddy shorts, and you know what?
01:41We appreciate that.
01:42He was also smart.
01:44Comes from, you know, a storage family.
01:46He also wanted his privacy, so he wasn't gonna be out here, okay?
01:51Loose lips, sinking ships, but he seemed so cool.
01:54You know, he just really liked to just play in Central Park without a shirt on.
02:01Y'all, the way that Jude Law had me in a chokehold in the early aughts, he was everywhere.
02:10He was in all the movies looking all cute, looking all handsome, and I'm not even really
02:15that into blonde guys, but Jude just, he just has that it, that je ne sais quoi.
02:21I think my favorite movie of his is The Holiday, because he's so dreamy, romantic,
02:26and he's a single father who cries.
02:29Clearly, this is a character written by a woman, but he's in touch with his emotions.
02:33I weep.
02:34I'm a major weeper.
02:36Hey Jude, don't sing so sad.
02:41Okay, bye.
