WASHINGTON, DC: Mumbai-born journalist Fareed Zakaria has been listed by O – The Oprah Magazine, as one of the 16 “real sexiest men alive”. Zakaria has been listed with such people as Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page; United Nations Millennium Project Director Jefferey D Sachs; Olympic gold medalist Johann Olav Koss; and Ground Zero Memorial architect Michael Arad.
The list will be published in the October issue of the bestselling magazine for women founded by television chat show superstar Oprah Winfrey, of which she is also the editorial director. Explaining the list, the magazine says: “The true turn-ons are brains, humour, compassion and commitment.”
Zakaria, now editor of Newsweek International, comes in at No 14, though the magazine says that the list is in no particular order of importance. Aimee Lee Ball, the author of the piece, writes about Zakaraia: “The editor of Newsweek International is an Indian-born Muslim who manages to speak to about America’s warts in a way that doesn’t alienate Americans, perhaps most strikingly in the weeks after 9/11 with his cover story called ‘Why They Hate Us’. He is aware, but not judgmental, hopeful but realistic, brilliant but accessible.”
This is not the first time that Oprah’s magazine has featured Zakaria. In September 2005, Fareed Zakaria was featured alongside former president Bill Clinton, Senator Hillary Clinton and CNN founder Ted Turner in a panel discussion on “World Leaders’ Worries”.
Zakaria had said that he is not worried about nuclear weapons or terrorist cells. Instead, he was concerned about Americans’ attitudes toward the rest of the world. “We’re not terribly interested in the rest of the world. We sit on top of it, but we don’t know much about it.” Zakaria was born in Mumbai in 1964, and studied at Cathedral and John Connon School, and went on to receive a PhD from Harvard University, where he later taught international relations and political philosophy. Before being appointed editor of Newsweek International, Zakaria was the managing editor of the influential Foreign Affairs magazine.
