And now we learn that the two eventually became friends. “Once political rivals, former Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter became not only friends but also political allies in their post-presidential years,” said Ford biographer Scott Kaufman told Secrets.

“Their relationship is a testament to the bipartisanship that has become all too rare in today’s politicized climate,” added Kaufman, a professor of history at Francis Marion University in South Carolina. Ford died the day after Christmas 2006, and Carter, who just turned 100, is in hospice care.

Andres Vargas, chief content editor at BetUS, said: “Celebrities make up an extremely small percentage of the human population, and many individuals fall in love with talented celebrities such as musicians, actors, athletes and even former presidents, which can cause excitement and fascination. Out of the many celebrity crushes out there, we at BetUS wanted to reveal which male celebrity would be considered the sexiest in 2024.”
