With 24.4% of your votes, Mateus Verdelho was elected the hottest Brazilian of the year for the second year in a row here on Made In Brazil. Marlon Teixeira came in second with 21.3% of the votes, and Arthur Sales ranked in third with 19.7% of the votes.

I was lucky enough to work with Mateus twice this past year, and I am definitely looking forward to working with him again in 2011. View more pictures and a video of Mateus after the jump.
