Lia Toby / Getty Images Or you've just seen him around because he's really, really good-looking. Steve Granitz / FilmMagic / Getty Images Oh, and he's also gay. He's People magazine's first openly gay man ever to win this *honor*. Ajr_images / Getty Images As Bradley Stern said, "The way this year has been going, I truly thought this was going to be, like, Steve Bannon. Finally, a correct hottie." MuuMuse/x.com The 37-year-old actor was on The Tonight Show, where he told Jimmy Fallon, "It's an honor of a lifetime, and I want to say, Jimmy, thank you so much for turning it down so I could be here." NBC / Todd Owyoung/NBC via Getty Images He also explained his qualifications for the honor, and, as a gay man, he's not lying: "I'm sort of thrilled that People magazine has invited someone in to bestow this honor on someone who can really cherish the value of a sexy man." NBC / Todd Owyoung/NBC via Getty Images A sexiest man alive who can recognize the "value of a sexy man?" Sign me up! Kristina Bumphrey / Variety via Getty Images ANYWAY, thank you to the management at People for making the right choice. I think I'd lose it if they chose, like, Kid Rock or something.
