Elba, humble as always, was surprised when he heard the news.
“Come on, no way. Really?,” said the 46-year-old. “Looked in the mirror, I checked myself out. I was like, ‘Yeah, you are kind of sexy today.’”
“But to be honest, it was just a nice feeling,” he clarified. “It was a nice surprise – an ego boost for sure.”
He also later posted on twitter to say:
“Thank you @people & all the fans for naming me #SexiestManAlive. Don’t forget ot grab your issue this week.”
