Michael B. Jordan has been named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive 2020.
The Creed and Black Panther star succeeds singer/songwriter John Legend, who recently named action man Jason Momoa as his pick for this year’s title.
“It’s a cool feeling,” Jordan says of his new title. “You know, everybody always made that joke, like, ‘Mike, this is the one thing you’re probably not going to get’. But it’s a good club to be a part of.”
The 33-year-old actor adds that the women in his family “are definitely proud” of his new accolade, smiling: “When my grandmother was alive, it was something that she collected, and then my mum naturally reads it a lot and my aunts as well. This is one that they’re definitely going to have a special place for.”
Jordan also reveals his hopes for his Hollywood career, admitting he’s planning to “act less” and direct and produce a lot more.
