After Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan became the second winner to have played Bond, James Bond, and the first Irish Sexiest Man Alive in 2001. His win came after he portrayed another sexy spy in "The Tailor of Panama," but he really heated things up in his four Bond films from 1995 to 2002. It was also a lucky year in love for Brosnan, who married American journalist and author Keely Shaye Smith in 2001 and has been with her ever since.
