Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now the list that I know everyone has been waiting
for the number one UK's hottest male celebrity has finally
been announced.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Last year there was a bit of outrage.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
This year there's just pure confusion because the hottest man
in all of UK, of all the celebrities that you
could possibly choose, Piers Morgan has been announced as the
hottest man. I don't think he's unattractive, don't get me wrong,
but if we're going to go for esthetically the number
one hottest man, this can't be real.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Like they are rage baiting us.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
They know that rage gets responses on Instagram and people
are going to have something to say.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
And here we are on the pickup talking about it.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
No, and this is nothing against Piers Morgan what I
am about to say, And it's nothing against the women
in the UK either. But what I will say is
there were two thousand UK women that voted on the
Sexiest Man. I have to assume that these are like
sixty plus women that are voting because last year was
Jeremy Clarkson, who looks exactly the same as Peers Morgan.
(01:02):
I think that I think you know why, like she
was Jeremy Clarkson I don't know if you've seen it, Laura,
I'm pretty sure you loved it. But Jeremy Clarkson released
this show, Jeremy Clarkson's Farm, and it was so people
fell in love with him on the farm, and all
of a sudden, people are like, yes, that's so hot
that you're like pulling hay and birthing carbs and stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
And I think that's what won him over.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
And I'm wondering if Piers Morgan, I think people might
like the fact that he's like PUSH's boundaries. He's very confident,
and I don't know. I don't get it because it
can't be based on looks. This one's got to be personality.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I don't even agree that.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
So it's that I just questioned, okay, because like, yes,
two thousand women voted, But I would dare say that
if two thousand men in the UK voted and they
were like of an older demographic, they're not going to
choose a middle aged older woman.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Why are we settling? Okay, you could pick anyone.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
You can still pick someone hot, young with abs, that's okay,
Like you're allowed to do that even if you're in
your sixties or your nineties. You can say, like, objectively,
this is a really mean thing to say, and please
don't cancel me. But objectively, Piers Morgan is not the
hottest man in the UK. He does have a good
sense of humor about it, though. He came out and
he said this just proves that British women are the
smartest and most discerning in the world and the most
(02:15):
likely to appreciate genuine magnetic sex appeal.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I think he also was as confused as everyone else.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I don't think that's humor. I think he was being serious.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Who if you were going to pick someone who the
majority might say is unconventionally attractive or might not think attractive,
but you're like, hey, actually, I think we've overlooked looked this.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Who would you pick?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Do you know what? I'm going to give you two people?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
First of all, who I would have voted for, but
he's actually not UK Just who I think is the
sexiest person, So.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
They're conventionally attractive, is what you're telling me.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Conventionally is Henry Cavill, you know, like really chiseled? He
was Superman Like, yeah, he's just so conventionally beautiful, but
it's obvious and that jewel line oh, but I would
say if we're going a bit more like who we
think might be overlooked, I would put Killian Murphy in there.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
You know, Killian Murphy from Peaky Blinders.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Nah. Nah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
He's like he's a mob boss.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
But I think his character makes him really hot, Like
his character is sexy because I think he's about five
foot two, he's really small beautiful.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
If we're gonna vote for Peers Morgan, I'm gonna I'm
gonna throw out someone who I think is unconventionally attractive,
who I think we overlook and and him he out
he's gotten better with age, so maybe by the time
he's sixty he will be UK's hottest man celebrity.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I get it out.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Who is I think Ed Sheeran is good looking. I
think Ed Sheeran is hot. Okay, I said it.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I think he's Okay, you know he's not not hot.
I know he's not not hot.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I think he started out not very attractive and he's
gotten hot and I'm here for it.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I'm here for the blossoming of Ed Sheeran.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I would put him one hundred percent above Piers Morgan
like I would vote Ed Sheeran over Peters Morgan any
single day of the week.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
You know what I do think is funny ed Shearon
comes across.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Is really wholesome, like a really sweet, wholesome guy. And
people have been like ripping him recently in all his
songs where he's like singing all these badass lyrics like
he was like getting in trouble from the police.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Everyone's like yeah right, and sit like as if like
he's making up the lyrics.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I just love that he's like he's married to his
high school sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I just think he's I love him. I think he's
great anyway.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I do look forward to two decades time when he's
the UK's hottest band, because it's coming
