Jude Law, 2004 Jude Law was the first Englishman to be dubbed Sexiest Man Alive. Law had a very busy year in 2004 when he won. He starred in six movies, including the romantic films "Closer" and "Alfie." Those movies alone gave him the title, in our opinion. He's since become more of a household name with his roles in "Sherlock Holmes" and "Fantastic Beasts." Image Source: Getty / Stuart C. Wilson
