(PCM) Every year, People magazine names a man and a woman who they respectively deem the Sexiest Man/Woman Alive, and for 2014, the Sexiest Man Alive is Thor lead, Chris Hemsworth.
Hemsworth is in pretty good (and good-looking) company; also making an appearance on People’s Sexiest Man Alive list are Guardians of Galaxy‘s Chris Pratt, Fifty Shades of Grey‘s Jamie Dornan, Michael Strahan, and Matt Bomer.
In 2013, Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine made it on the cover of People’s Sexiest Man Alive issue, and the year before that Channing Tatum was crowned with the title.
Making a new for himself in his homeland of Australia for his role as Kim Hyde on the soap series, Home and Away, Chris Hemsworth has found steadfast fans in America after playing Thor in Marvel’s Thor and The Avengers.
Back in 2013, Chris Hemsworth ranked number 7 on Glamour magazine’s 2013 list of “50 Sexiest Men,” coming in 3 places behind his younger brother, Liam Hemsworth.
Now, the actor jokes about his status as “Sexiest Man Alive,” telling People magazine, “I think you’ve bought me a couple of weeks of bragging rights around the house, I can just say to [wife Elsa Pataky], ‘Now remember, this is what the people think, so I don’t need to do the dishes anymore, I don’t need to change nappies. I’m above that. I’ve made it now.’ ”
