They say fifty is the new forty and given the results of our Hot Men Over 40 poll (part of our AfterElton.com Hot 100 list), we have to agree. In fact, we confess to being a little disappointed that the oldest guy on this list is Christopher Meloni, who edges out George Clooney by a little more than a month, clocking in at 48 and change.
While there is no denying that Meloni, Clooney, Brad Pitt and other men in their 40s who made this list are hot, it would have been nice to see Sir Ian McKellen, who proves “hot” has all sorts of definitions, land in the top ten, instead of only making it to the 12th spot. Oh, well; we take the blame for setting the bar too “young.” But next year, it’s going to be Men Over 50, so start your lists now!

3. Anderson Cooper
Anderson "Silver Fox" Cooper comes in at a solid #3, with the forty-one-year old CNN newsman's suave good looks, intelligence and sophistication garnering plenty of votes. Proving that hunky need not be six-feet two and ripped, Anderson beguiles us his slightly dorky laugh, impish smile and dancing blue eyes. It certainly doesn't hurt that he's equally adept at discussing the fallout from Prop 8 as he is canoodling with puppies and Kathy Griffin. For our money, anyone willing to be upstaged by puppies and Kathy deserves a place on our list.
