Michael B. Jordan Is People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive Because DUH
In other news, the grass is green, the sky is blue, and water is wet.
In its continued effort to right the wrongs of 2017's disastrous and confusing AF decision to name Blake Shelton as "Sexiest Man Alive,"People Magazine has been blessing us with some of the most wondrously handsome "Sexiest Men" cover stars ever to grace their pages, and we're totally here for it.
2018 got Idris Elba. 2019 got John Legend. And although 2020 was a hot AF mess with not much to look forward to, People blessed us with an honoree that should have been named years ago, but we're glad he's finally getting his flowers now: Michael B. Jordan.
Yup, that's right. The Black Panther, Creed, and Just Mercy star, the king of political thirst traps who we've had a crush on since his early acting days on shows like Friday Night Lights and All My Children, is officially the sexiest man alive, and all we have to say is DUH!!!
Always ready to celebrate sexy men, the internet wasted no time in sharing their thirst.
