People has named John Legend their “Sexiest Man Alive” for 2019, and he admitted to the publication that he “was excited, but I was a little scared at the same time because it’s a lot of pressure.”
“Everyone’s going to be picking me apart to see if I’m sexy enough to hold this title. I’m [also] following Idris Elba, which is not fair and is not nice to me!” The Fast & Furious actor held the position last year. Legend joins other previous “sexiest men” Blake Shelton, Dwayne Johnson, David Beckham and Adam Levine, among others.
