“It’s going to be ammo, I think, for me, when he is engaging with me as a director,” she joked. “I’m just going to tell him to dial down the sexiness. But we’re not gonna make it until later in the year. So who knows what happens? Another man will be – I don’t know if he will still be the ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ in six months.”
