People’s 2022 choice for the sexiest man alive is Chris Evans.
During the episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” that aired on Monday night, the star of “The Gray Man” and the original Captain America of Marvel Comics was announced as the recipient for this year.
To thunderous applause, Colbert announced, “It is with humility and gratitude that I am happy to announce that People magazine has decided to offer me the wonderful distinction. Of naming him the hottest man alive for a second straight year!” Evans did not present in the studio during the late-night program, but a pre-recorded piece with Evans and Dwayne Johnson, the 2016 sexiest man alive winner, was broadcast.
Johnson begs you to say something seductive. Go vote tomorrow, Evans orders as he faces the camera while wearing a sash. When he was announced as this year’s winner, Evans told People, “My mum will be extremely delighted. She is proud of everything I do, but she can truly take pride in this.
Since the award’s establishment in 1985 with Mel Gibson as the first winner, the journal has included a list of the sexiest men alive every year. Paul Rudd received the award the previous year, while other recent recipients include Michael B. Jordan, John Legend, Idris Elba, and Blake Shelton.
The Broadway musical “The Lion King” performed on Monday’s episode of “The Late Show,” which also featured an interview with “Last Week Tonight” presenter John Oliver, whom Colbert said was the second-sexiest man alive.
On Friday, you can buy the edition of People’s sexiest man alive containing an interview with Evans.
