Heart-throbs Brad Pitt and David Beckham were knocked off the top 10 sexiest men list as younger hunks beat them to the punch.
In the Glamour poll of more than 50,000 people, fans placed The Vampire Diaries’ Ian Somerhalder in third place.
In fact all of the top five sexiest men derived from Twilight or The Vampire Diaries, setting a blood-sucking theme to the list.
Twilight’s Xavier Samuel and Kellan Lutz came in at fourth and fifth place, just beating out Johnny Depp, who was number six.
Beckham fell from fourth place last year to 21st this year, while Pitt fell from fifth to 33rd and George Clooney from seventh to 35th.
The top 10 list was completed by Justin Bieber, Gerard Butler, Hayden Christensen and Channing Tatum.
Glamour.com acting editor Charlotte Duck said: ‘Women are attracted to vampires because of the element of danger that comes with them.
‘They are the ultimate bad boy – and woman want to tame the beast within.’
