American actor, Paul Rudd has been announced as the recipient of the People magazine’s annual Sexiest Man Alive issue.
American comedian, Stephen Colbert announced this on Tuesday, during CBS’ The Late Show. Rudd is featured on the cover of People’s annual issue, out now.
Colbert tested the Ant man to determine his sexiness. He asked Rudd to pour plenty water on himself and attempt to deliver the perfect slouch.
At the end of the comedy sketch, the comedian informed Rudd that he “tested negative for sexy.”. Rudd then replied that the verdict “makes sense. I appreciate you just giving me a shot, honestly.”
Surprisingly, the host then revealed that, in fact, Rudd is the Sexiest Man Alive. “Don’t you see, Paul? There’s nothing sexier than humility. That was the last test, and you passed, Paul!”
The 52 year old dethrones Micheal B. jordan, who was 2020’s sexiest man alive according to the magazine.
Rudd later revealed that he does “have an awareness, enough to know that when people hear that I’d be picked for this, they would say, ‘What?'”
He added that his wife, Julie yeager, was the only person he told about winning the title, and she was “stupefied.” He said,
“After some giggling and shock, she said, ‘Oh, they got it right.’ And that was very sweet. She was probably not telling the truth, but what’s she going to say?”
Mel Gibson was the the first to be given the honor in 1985. Other recipients of the title include Ben Affleck, Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum, John Legend, Denzel Washington, Idris Elba, Sean Connery, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Hugh Jackman, Johnny Depp, Adam Levine, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Shelton.
