Johnny Depp is no strange to the title, Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has scored the honor once before in 2003. He’s hot all right! He’s just commanded a cool $38 million to come back as Jack Sparrow for the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Oh, that’s just the guaranteed minimum.

Pick up your cover of People magazine to get more of Depp & the full list of the other 109 sexy stars, People on newsstands Friday.
