People magazine is gearing up for its annual “Sexiest Man Alive” issue — and Confidenti@l has learned that Chris Pratt and Neil Patrick Harris are two of the front-runners for the coveted title.
“ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ was a huge movie and it is still fresh in People’s minds. The film made Chris Pratt a star and overhauled his image from that cute guy on ‘Parks and Recreation’ to a buff heartthrob,” one magazine insider tells us. “If he can make blockbuster money, he can sell a ton of magazines is the thinking. What ‘The Hangover’ did for Bradley Cooper this film did for Chris. It’s his year.”
However, Neil Patrick Harris is also being strongly considered.
“People has never had an openly gay ‘Sexiest Man’ before. It would certainly make news and generate buzz for the magazine,” says our insider. “Plus, Neil is going to be hosting the Oscars. He’s in ‘Gone Girl,’ he was just on Broadway. He’s also happily married with kids. He is having an amazing year.”
Last year the weekly named Adam Levine as “Sexiest Man Alive.” In 2012, editors bestowed the campy honor on Channing Tatum. Bradley Cooper landed the cover in 2011, while Ryan Reynolds got the honor in 2010.
