Credited with having the best body in Hollywood, it doesn't really come as a surprise that Men's Health magazine readers have voted Jennifer Aniston as the sexiest woman of all time in a new poll.

The Horrible Bosses actress has pipped some iconic bombshells to claim the top spot and interestingly left Angelina Jolie -- who was accused of stealing her then husband Brad Pitt from her -- way behind in the list.

According to the magazine, funny is sexy and Aniston is funny. But the actress herself concedes that she wasn't always the sexy siren she's being touted as now.

The actress dabbled in various mediums after that but is still remembered for her bikini bod in the film.

3. Marilyn Monroe
