Men who are actually sexier once they open their mouths and begin to speak

Eric Ripert

Talented and creative, Chef Eric is at his best when he's most natural. He's a reasonably attractive fellow in photographs, but he becomes infinitely more alluring in action. Television is absolutely his medium. His modesty and self-deprecation add to his considerable personal charm (even though they sometimes appear to be a socially-correct veneer).  His accent is most endearing when he occassionally struggles for the correct word.

Because we love talented men who are passionate about life, we nominate Eric Ripert as a Man Who is Actually Sexier Once He Opens His Mouth and Begins to Speak.
