yes of course he is!!!!

he is definitely the sexiest man alive!!!!!!

I guess the questioning about it is whether its a real cover since that picture is from his Vanity Fair shoot. I know in last years issue when they had Rob listed they used a picture from another photo shoot he had done with another magazine- because of his busy schedule he wasn't able to do a shoot.
If he was I would hope for more pictures- new and fresh!

The cover would be a new and original photo and not a competing publications photoshoot. Publishing firms can own more than one magazine and thus share photos. But People and Vanity Fair are not owned by the same magazine publishing firm.

I'll be glad when they announce it tomorrow because all the speculation is wearing me out.

Some of the latest tweets from People Magazine say this cover is not the real one but another clue said he stared in a blockbuster franchise. Harry Potter maybe?

In my opinion he is the sexiest man alive-but the magazine cover looks a little bare.

no question!!!

It's Johnny Depp. I will never argue with that choice. Not in a million years. I love Rob but yeah.

I agree Audrey. I think with People Magazine the guy has to be a certain age and in the buisness for a while before he can make that title.
I can see Rob on the cover for the top 25 under 25.

People editor Julie Jordan said the magazine’s editors considered 2009’s hunk-of-the-moment, “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson, for the award, but decided instead to go with the 46-year-old unmarried father of two for longevity that has withstood the test of time.

Another section of the issue is called “Vampire Awards,” and those are broken down into subcategories such as “Hair,” where Robert Pattinson takes the honors.
