Legend, 40, told the magazine that he’s thrilled by the honor, but also scared to follow in the footsteps of other entertainers who have been named before him.
“I was excited, but I was a little scared at the same time because it’s a lot of pressure,” he told the magazine.
1995 John would be very perplexed to be following 2018 @IdrisElba as #SexiestManAlive. Hell, 2019 John is about as equally perplexed but thank you @People for finding me sexy. I'll take it 🤓 pic.twitter.com/Gw1la5Ebv4

Legend went on to say, “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!.”
