PAPERMAG: 13 Hot Presidents and Heads of State

Last year we celebrated Presidents' Day with a list of the hottest POTUSes of all time (Franklin Pierce = sigh). This year, however, we're broadening our horizons with a little roundup of the hottest presidents and prime ministers from around the world. Please note that this list is based on looks alone and does not reflect any very bad decisions and/or other stupid things any of these lookers may have done or said over the years. Did we forget any heads of state who make you weak in the knees? Tell us in the comments!

Thumbs up for hot President of Costa Rica, Laura Chinchilla!

Mohamed Nasheed just resigned as President of the Maldives a couple of weeks ago, but we're making an exception for obvious reasons.

Spain's José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. Good eyebrows, good eyebrows.

Here's France's Nicolas Sarkozy shirtless with festive short shorts in a canoe.

Good luck resisting the charming smile of Nigeria's President, Goodluck Jonathan.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte. We would go Dutch with him any time.
