The '90s: When Brad Pitt and George Clooney Took Over

Oh, the '90s. A decade filled with scrunchies, grunge, and some serious eye candy, thanks to our boys Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Brad snagged the title in 1995, just as he was exploding onto the scene with 'Legends of the Fall' and 'Seven'. That same year, he also starred in 'Interview with the Vampire' with that other 'Sexiest Man Alive' hunk, Tom Cruise. Speaking of Tom, he was the first man to defend his title, doing so in 1997.
