People’s Hottest Bachelor of 2008

Mario Lopez is this year’s most sought after bachelor, according to People Magazine.
Mario Lopez may be PEOPLE’s Hottest Bachelor – but the A Chorus Line star and fitness buff has a shocking admission: He was a chubby baby. “I looked like a sumo wrestler,” Lopez says in a new interview. “My mom had to pull the fat folds apart when she bathed me!” But that’s all in his past.
As fans know, Lopez has mined his love of fitness to create his own book, Mario Lopez’s Knockout Fitness. The exercise guru, who is recently single, says that a full slate of projects has kept him off the dating market but that hasn’t stopped him from thinking about dating completely.
“I like a girl who’s from a modest sort of upbringing, because it’s more relatable,” he says, explaining what he looks for in a potential girlfriend. “I’m a first-generation American. My parents [Elvia and Mario Sr.] emigrated from Mexico and live in the same house I grew up in Chula Vista, Calif. I’d feel weird if the girl was a little too uppity or affluent, because I’m a very down-home kind of guy.”
The list also includes hot men like:
- BRODY & FRANKIE of The Hills
- DAVID COOK the American Idol
- TERRENCE HOWARD from Ironman
- BRYAN SPEARS, Britney and Jamie Lynn’s brother
- GERARD BUTLER of 300
- JAMES BLAKE the tennis star
- BRET MICHAELS of Rock of Love and the band Poison
- ANDY & AKIVA from Saturday Night Live
- HUNTER JOHANSSON the twin brother of Scarlett
- ADAM LEVINE of Maroon5
- THE GOSSIP GUYS
The magazine hits stands June 20th.
