If you recall, last year Blake Shelton was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive, and people were NOT happy about it.

Well, new year, new man – and this year everyone is thrilled because People named Idris Elba the Sexiest Man Alive!

He’s the 33rd man to hold the title and appear on the cover!

He posted the news on his Instagram, and took the opportunity to remind you to vote! He writes, “Who’d have thought it! Thank you @people & all the fans for naming me #SexiestManAlive. Don’t forget to grab your issue this week, link in bio. I’m honoured & thankful. But what’s even more important is your vote in the midterm elections. Your vote can make a difference!”

 

 

He had the best reaction to finding out the news. He said, “”I was like, ‘Come on, no way. Really? Looked in the mirror, I checked myself out. I was like, ‘Yeah, you are kind of sexy today. But to be honest, it was just a nice feeling. It was a nice surprise — an ego boost for sure.” Yeah, I bet!

The Twitter reactions to his win are amazing. And we can’t really argue with them…
