People Magazine has named Hollywood actor Michael B Jordan as the sexiest man alive for 2020.
The announcement was made Tuesday night on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
The actor appeared on the late-night talk show dressed in a yellow biohazard suit. He revealed his identity after removing his helmet, which had a smiley face. He said he learned about the honor during a call from his publicist while driving with a friend.
Speaking about the honour, he said that it gave him a “cool feeling”:
“It’s a good club to be part of. 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.”
He also disclosed that the women in his family are “definitely proud of this one.” He credits his entire family for supporting him throughout the years.
In 2013, then-26-year-old actor Michael B. Jordan was featured in PEOPLE’s first annual Ones to Watch portfolio for his critically acclaimed performance in that year’s film Fruitvale Station.
“When my grandmother was alive, it was something that she collected, and then my mom naturally reads it a lot and my aunts as well,” Jordan said. “This is one that they’re definitely going to have a special place for.”
Other recent winners include John Legend, Dwayne Johnson, Chris Hemsworth, Idris Elba, Adam Levine, Channing Tatum and David Beckham.
