Singer John Legend has been crowned Peopleโs Sexiest Man Alive title, the magazine announced Tuesday (November 12, 2019).
Legend, 40, told the magazine that heโs thrilled by the honor, but also scared to follow in the footsteps of other entertainers who have been named before him.
โI was excited, but I was a little scared at the same time because itโs a lot of pressure,โ he told the magazine.
Legendโs wife Chrissy Teigen posted her reaction to the news on Twitter:
Teigen had tweeted earlier in the evening, โI have big news and itโs killing me I canโt say it and itโs not a baby.โ
Legend went on to say, โeveryoneโs going to be picking me apart to see if Iโm sexy enough to hold this title. Iโm [also] following Idris Elba, which is not fair and is not nice to me!.โ

Teigen also joked on Twitter that she โcannot WAIT for people to get mad about John being the sexiest man alive.โ
