It takes a lot of muscle tone, smoldering gazes, and sizzling sex appeal to make it onto Glamour magazine’s (UK) annual “Sexiest Men” list. Thus, it should not come as any surprise that Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley have been included in the 2012 edition! The Vampire Diaries stars and on-screen Salvatore Brothers made it onto this year’s list which featured 50 of Hollywood’s most irresistible hunks as chosen by over 40,000 fans.

Ian, a fervent advocate for helpless furry creatures everywhere, and Paul, a motorcycle riding hunk who recently hosted a charity fundraiser with his wife Torrey DeVitto, both claimed Top 20 positions. Ian  moved right on up to the Number 12 position after claiming the 25th spot last year and Paul was in eighty place after coming in at 59 in 2011. Way to go, guys — Mystic Falls hotties represent!
