14 DAY TRIAL // They’re famous, young, incredibly handsome and, what’s most important, single. They’re the men who make up People magazine’s annual list of the hottest bachelors of the moment, the guys any girl would kill to have and men to be. Chace Crawford, Chris Pine and Robert Pattinson are just three of the names featured on the list.
23-year-old “Gossip Girl” star Chace Crawford takes the top position, judged on popularity, good looks and demand from the industry (which, by extension, might also include other financial considerations, but that has not been confirmed in any way by the magazine). Hot on his heels is somewhat of a newcomer, “Star Trek” star Chris Pine who, no matter how much he insists he doesn’t like being a part of the fame game, continues to be among the hottest commodities of the day.
Speaking of media attention and being famous, Chace reveals to People that being in the spotlight while involved with Taylor Swift has really taught him a couple of invaluable life lessons, even if their romance did not last. “I have nothing bad to say about that experience. It was awesome. I just didn’t know how to deal with it. I learned a ton about dating someone in that kind of spotlight. It was such a whirlwind, but no regrets.” the handsome actor explains.
His perfect date, though, is far from the glamorous deal fans might imagine. Quite on the contrary, Chace says. Just like most of the other men included in the hot list, Chace too is actually quite laid back and is looking for something that resembles normalcy. “All you need is a pool table, beer, an electric jukebox and good conversation. The day a girl beats me in a game of Beirut [a kind of beer pong] is a good sign!” Crawford adds for People.
The other finalists on the hottest bachelors list are “Transformers” star Shia LaBeouf at number 3, and American Idol runner-up and one of the most promising stars on the music stage right now Adam Lambert at number 4. The fifth position is a tie between Ryan Eggold of “90210” and Kellan Lutz from “Twilight,” while the sixth goes to Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock. The top ten is rounded up by Brody Jenner on 7, rapper and actor Common (seen last in “Terminator: Salvation”) on 8, Taylor Kitsch (from “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) on 9, and Robert Pattinson (who clearly no longer needs any introduction) on the final position.
