Our Readers’ Top 20 Sexiest Male Celebrities ’12

6. Penn Badgley

Where we placed him: 3

Why: He’s probably best known for his role as Dan Humphrey in Gossip Girl, but to us he is so much more. Actor Penn Badgley is the sexy celeb to bag our third place slot. When he played Michael Harding in The Stepfather we were in awe of his basassness and his shirtlessness (because he had his top off for a lot of that film), when he played Woodchuck Todd in Easy A we fell in actual love, and we spent hours and hours wishing that John Hughes directed our lives. And do you know how you tell it’s true love? We even fancied him in John Tucker Must Die, yep, even with that hair.
Our example clip? It’s gotta be from Easy A. “Would you rather be watching the woodchucks or watching me do one?”
