Bradley Cooper has been named People’s Sexiest Man Alive.

Why? Let the fawning magazine count the ways: He went to Georgetown University (preppy!); cooks; is fluent in French, but isn’t prissy as the dude knows how to drive a motorcycle.

And, if that’s not all, he’s close to his mother.

“My mother is going to be so happy,” he told the magazine when he first found out the news.

“If you’re a single man and you happen to be in this business,” he said, “you’re deemed a player. But I don’t see myself as a ladies’ man.”
