This isn’t just a round-up of hot guys. (Because that could go on for days.)

Robert Pattinson
In the final installment of The Twilight Saga, RPattz was not only fierce in battle,
but he also played the coolest dad ever.

If the 2012 American Music Awards were any indication,
this was the year of the Biebs and his BELIEVE album.
Island Records
Dean Geyer
He skyrocketed to the top of our Glee stud list.
Can you imagine if you saw this in your bathroom?

Andrew Garfield
Sigh, if only all spiders beared a resemblance to the Amazing Spider-Man star…

Josh Hutcherson
Two words: Hunger. Games.
Lionsgate
Chris Hemsworth
The elder Hemsworth portrayed a huntsman and a demi-god. No contest.
Plus just try staring at those muscles and not drooling.
Paramount
Channing Tatum
Hello, he was crowned ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ this year!
People
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Did you see the ending of The Dark Knight Rises?!
We think his (potential) superhero status makes him even dreamier.

One Direction
1. They have accents. 2. There’s FIVE of them.
3. 1D had not one, but two #1 albums in the U.S. in 2012… Any questions?
Sony
Logan Lerman
The Perks of Being a Wallflower, FTW!
Summit
Zac Efron
Besides the fact that he starred in The Lucky One a.k.a. one of the most romantic films of the year, umm… it’s Zac Efron. Case closed.
