The list was somewhat surprising though. When we think of the most popular guys, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Kanye West and David Beckham come to mind first, but they only ranked 22, 33, 17 and 25. We’re kind of psyched that readers are a little more open minded than worshipping the typical celeb fare, but really? No Johnny Depp or upcoming Bond star Daniel Craig? Apparently the less obvious Jon Stewart, Tom Ford, Lorne Michaels and J.J. Abrams have won the adoration of a more discerning crowd.
These are the top 10 on the AskMen.com Most Influential Men list:
1) Barack Obama (Democratic presidential nominee)
2) Steve Jobs (Apple CEO)
3) Michael Phelps (Olympic swimmer)
4) Robert Downey, Jr (actor)
5) Stephen Colbert (political TV commentator)
