Michael B. Jordan celebrates being named Sexiest Man Alive: ‘It's a cool title to have’
Watch: Michael B Jordan named Sexiest Man Alive
On Tuesday night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the 2020 People’s Sexiest Man Alive was announced. The late night show has been revealing the winner for years, but this time they thought they would make it a little more interesting by having the fans try and guess who won.
Kimmel brought the sexiest man out in a yellow chemical hazmat suit so that none of his features were distinguishable. After a series of guesses and clues, one fan was correct when she guessed Creed star Michael B. Jordan.

Based on the reaction from social media, People got it right.
