Bradley Cooper

Why: Even though he has starred in a movie titled "The Midnight Meat Train" (2008), Bradley Cooper has never played a male stripper in a movie. In both "Hangover" films (2009, 2011) he plays a teacher who is way hotter than the role requires, and we get a little peek here and there. In "Limitless" (2011) and in real life, we see what a well-tailored suit can do for a man, especially when you top it off with great hair and just a wee bit of 5 o'clock shadow. Being People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive last year doesn't hurt.

The shtick: I bet you didn't know Cooper is fluent in French, which ups his sexy factor even more. I'm thinking the spicy French song "Alors on Danse" setting the beat while Cooper struts onstage in a khaki trench coat and a fedora like a seductive Inspector Clouseau. When he whips open the trench, it'll be like a good flasher fantasy come true. Mon dieu!
