Is it getting hot in here, or is it just PEOPLE's 2024 Men of the Year?

This year, the hype for these men reached a fever pitch. From Manny Jacinto's breathtaking performance in The Acolyte to everything about Pedro Pascal, we'd be remiss to not recognize their contributions to making 2024 as sexy as possible. And don't forget Andrew Garfield bringing everyone to tears with We Live in Time while charming Amelia Dimoldenberg and the internet on Chicken Shop Date.

Fall in love all over again with 11 of PEOPLE's Men of the Year, featuring Pascal, Jacinto, Garfield and more — and see the whole list in our Sexiest Man Alive issue, on stands Friday.

Johnny Marlow

The Good Place alum brought sexy to the Star Wars universe with his adept saber skills, toned physique and the air of mystery to his villainous character. Next year, everybody will want to be Lindsay Lohan when Jacinto plays her onscreen husband in Freakier Friday.

On top of a successful 2024, during which he won his first SAG Award, Pedro Pascal is one of PEOPLE's Men of the Year for the second consecutive year. Friends like Sarah Paulson, Kieran Culkin and Ebon Moss-Bachrach sang his praises, and he stayed top of mind with films like the upcoming Gladiator II (opposite fellow MOTY Paul Mescal).

Andrew Garfield has come a long way since his Spider-Man days. This year, the Tony winner starred alongside Florence Pugh in the romantic drama We Live in Time. While promoting the movie, he flirted and bantered on Chicken Shop Date with Amelia Dimoldenberg in an interview that has garnered 8.9 million views and won the internet's hearts.

One of music's many breakout stars of the year, Shaboozey had the country dancing to his hit "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," which has 16 weeks (and counting) at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. In addition to a coveted collaboration with Beyoncé on her album Cowboy Carter, Shaboozey received his first Grammy recognition, with five nominations at next year's ceremony.

Paul Mescal's dreamy eyes and his fiery performance in Gladiator II are more than enough to earn him a spot on the Men of the Year list. His good looks are also coupled with an admirable work ethic: He has three films in the pipeline, The History of Sound, Hamnet and Merrily We Roll Along.

It's about time that Theo James made his Men of the Year debut. The Divergent heartthrob has always been hot, whether it's as a cocky vacationer in The White Lotus or a romantic time hopper in The Time Traveler's Wife. But the Emmy nominee takes sexy to a new level as Duke Edward Horniman in Netflix's The Gentleman.

Timothée Chalamet is so hot, people stormed the streets of New York City looking for his doppelgänger. The Dune leading man has had a busy year, promoting the sci-fi movie's sequel before filming his Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown and the ping-pong drama Marty Supreme.

Joshua Jackson

The Joshua Jackson renaissance is in full swing. On his new ABC series Doctor Odyssey, Jackson is captivating as Max Bankman, and viewers are loving the tension between him and his costars, Phillipa Soo and Sean Teale.

Matt Bomer is a timeless hottie — literally. The historical romance Fellow Travelers saw the Golden Globe winner fall in love with Jonathan Bailey's Tim Laughlin over the course of four decades. His performance earned him an Emmy nod, but more importantly, reminded us why Bomer has been a lasting symbol of sexy.

Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert

Eric Wolfinger

Host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, has been Sexiest Man Alive-adjacent for the past few years, as he has announced the winner in 2021, 2022 and 2024. Though he made a convincing pitch for himself on the show, this year went to John Krasinski — but with the training Krasinski gave him in infomercial format, we bet he's got it in the bag next year.
