Remember when Al Gore was a sex symbol? Neither do we. But apparently there was such a time, at least according to People, which in 1994 named the then 46-year-old vice president to its Most Beautiful People list.

After the jump, see why People deemed Gore worthy of inclusion alongside the likes of Blossom star Joey Lawrence, country singer John Michael Montgomery, and other timeless beauties.
