Why is Minka Kelly is the sexiest woman alive, as Esquire has crowned her? It has nothing to do with the schlocky video the magazine forced her through. (Jittery rock music, lingerie and jittery camera… That’s it? Check it out, below.)
The visuals you want can be found on NBC’s “Parenthood (Tuesdays at 10 p.m.), where Kelly’s small, quiet scenes as a soft-spoken, T-shirt-and-jeans autism therapist (left) are impossible to look away from.
Sex? No, unless you count the gentle curl of her lip and the flick of an eyelash. But rather than channeling the music video vixen of Esquire’s juvenile dream, in these scenes Kelly’s character conveys the wisdom, empathy, confidence, sly wit and, yes, the casual hotness that get most guys to look twice at a woman in the real world.
These are also the reasons most guys married their wives. That’s what makes Minka Kelly sexy.
