Idris Elba is "the sexiest man alive," according to People.
46 years old Luther actor is the 33rd Hollywood piece to receive the title – and the first black man to do it in 22 years, after Denzel Washington reserved the magazine's cover in 1996. Other stars featured in this year's issue (in newsstands on Friday) include Chadwick Boseman, Noah Centineo, Bradley Cooper, Henry Golding, Prince Harry, John Krasinski, Shawn Mendes, Hasan Minhaj, Chris Pine and Thomas Rhett. So what did Elba think when he learned that he would replace last year's honoree, Blake Shelton? "I was like," Go, no way. "Really?" Looked in the mirror, I checked myself in. I told myself, "Yes, you're pretty sexy today." "To be honest, it was a nice feeling," he says. "It was a nice surprise, a rally from the ego, that's for sure."
Elba joins an elite list of men who have been recognized in the pages of People.
At 29, Mel Gibson was the first actor to receive this honor in 1985. He was replaced by Mark Harmon (1986) Harry Hamlin (1987), John F. Kennedy, Jr. (1988), Sean Connery (1989) Tom Cruise (1990), Patrick Swayze (1992) and – even if it seems strange now-Notch Nolte (1992). Power couple Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford were named "The Sexiest Couple Living" in 1993 – the only time a woman was honored – before her solo return in 1999.
As the Elbe gets used to its new designation, take a look back on previous winners:
