Those French-Canadians who delight in the reflected glory of artists who make an impression abroad can be proud of "our" Roy Dupuis who doesn’t only play a part in the TV series Nikita. Indeed Roy is actually ranked amongst the most desirable of the beautiful people, men and women combined. This was revealed by the American weekly People. For five years People magazine has organised a competition for its readership : vote for the performer whose looks most appeal to you. Entry forms were sent in by post. With the advent of the Internet, the people.com website duplicated the contest, asking the Web community to vote electronically, creating a second list. The votes were collected over two weeks. Roy came 3^rd in the postal vote, and 5^th on the Web

All the same, you have to take the competition with a grain of salt, as it is very easy and quick to vote many times on the Internet. Moreover, during the two weeks, Justin and Britney took it in turn to occupy top position, as if two factions were battling it out. The fact remains that this is where public opinion lies, and that the fans are online. This informal poll is, all the same, one more thing that indicates Roy’s popularity.
