Vin Diesel Voted “People” Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive 2010 on Facebook

Voting was fast and furious. Facebook fans have decided the winner in a race with more debates than gay marriage or medical marijuana legalization. It’s “People” magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive, or “SMA” on Facebook: Vin Diesel. This is not the same as "People" magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive title which could now be called “People’s Sexiest Man Alive IRL.” The SMA issue hits newsstands on November 17, 2010 providing the women and men of the world with some serious eye candy.

Vin Diesel Voted “People’s Sexiest Man Alive on Facebook”

The category of “People’s Sexiest Man Alive on Facebook” started off with a strange list. “People” magazine’s loose requirement was that the sexy man have a page on Facebook. Of the initial choices given, fewer than half actually update their pages on the popular social network.

The two most frequent FB posters are also the two men fans have shown the most passion for: Vin Diesel and Pauly D ("The Jersey Shore"). Now that Vin Diesel has won, the Vin Diesel fans and haters are chiming in. Some of the initial names on the voting list including Johnny Depp and Matt Damon are not mentioned in the tallies. They may have been removed at some point.

Vin Diesel vs. Pauly D.

Vin Diesel: did he win because of his sleek bald head, killer smile and muscular physique? Did Pauly D. lose because he looks like a slip and slide toy, always oiled and wet? Besides his looks and hot bod, Vin Diesel has shared a lot with his Facebook fans. Vin Diesel has not been shy about posting candid photos and videos on his Facebook page. Also in Vin Diesel’s favor: he has not reached a media saturation point (think: Brad Pitt).

He surprises FB fans with his deep and spiritual posts. Vin Diesel may have been voted “People” Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive on Facebook, but he also wins hands down for being the most open and positive. Vin Diesel posts on FB like a regular person, not like he’s promoting himself. He understands how to connect to fans.

Pauly D, after 18 million FB fans voted on the ”People” poll, took second place, although the vote was not that close.

How the Votes Went According to "People."
Vin Diesel: 53%
Pauly D: 28%
Enrique Iglesias: 12%.
Chad Ochocinco: 2%
Old Spice guy Isaiah Mustafa:  2%
