It's obvious the Canadian native is taking the title very seriously, telling People his homeland is "trying to nationalize sexy, sort of like Medicare."

He notes that his much-desired body serves as his security system, saying that he sleeps naked "because if anyone breaks into your house, I can’t think of anything more frightening than a naked 6’2” man coming at you."

Ryan joins an esteemed collection of Hollywood hotties, as evidenced in ET's super-sexy flashback gallery.

The actor's entry into the elite group marks 25 years of People's Sexiest Man Alive. The issue is on stands Friday.
