People Magazine has crowned 2015’s Sexiest Man Alive: David Beckham!
Jimmy Kimmel broke the news on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday night, announcing that the former soccer star scored this year’s coveted honor. The 40-year-old Brit took the title from Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, who held the honor in 2014.

As for the other sexiest men -- namely Kimmel’s “nemesis” Matt Damon and audience favorite Nick Carter -- who didn’t take top honors, Beckham said with a laugh, “I would like to say, ‘Maybe next year.’”
