Top 10 Hunks of 2004 Top 10 Hunks of 2004 (January 07, 2005)

by Jeanne Aufmuth

Eric Bana He stole "Troy" right out from under Brad Pitt's Achilles heel with sculpted pecs, chocolate peepers and Truva machismo.
Jeff Bridges Blowzy caftans and squid-stained fingernails couldn't dim Bridges' timeless sex appeal as the flawed protagonist of "The Door in the Floor."
Don Cheadle Ebony skin, ivory smile and an unforeseen will to save his people in "Hotel Rwanda" equals political and passionate appeal.
Daniel Craig While seducing a guileless geriatric in "The Mother," Craig captivated me with his moody charm and irresistible bad-boy technique.
Clint Eastwood Grizzled and still got it going on, he directed, produced and starred in "Million Dollar Baby" with a stoic and sexy twinkle in his wrinkled eye.
Paul Giamatti Living proof that schlumpy can be sexy too, Giamatti made "Sideways" his own as the poster-child for emotionally impaired allure.
Tobey Maguire I didn't think much of "Spider-Man 2" but it yielded a brooding and conflicted superhero who was one of 2004's sexiest male sirens.
Clive Owen When you can steal the sexual thunder from Jude Law in a salacious pot-boiler like "Closer" you're doing something awfully damn right.
Peter Sarsgaard Sarsgaard should make a habit out of low-life. His conflicted state of mind in Zach Braff's "Garden State" fired on all cylinders and rendered me putty.
Joe Simpson The brave and cunning Simpson led the charge in "Touching the Void" by turning me on with stories of athletic grit and can-do heroism.
