No. Only ferrous metals are magnetic and are solid at room temperature.

In order for a metal to "stick" to a magnet it would have to have its atoms aligned in the same direction. When in liquid form the atoms are too busy moving around to actually align themselves to a magnetic field.

Mercury does not stick to a magnet. Iron sticks well, nickel sticks a little.
