Chris Evans is 2022’s Sexiest Man Alive

In an interview with People, Chris Evans was coy in accepting the title of Sexiest Man Alive, but said his mother would be delighted by the news.

Whether you know the actor for his portrayal of Captain America or his cable-knit sweater in Knives Out, Chris Evans is a certified hottie.

Evans, a 41-year-old Boston native, has been named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2022.

In an interview with the outlet, the Marvel actor was coy in accepting the title, but said at least one person, his mother, would be delighted by the news.

“My mom will be so happy,” he said. “She’s proud of everything I do but this is something she can really brag about.”

During the magazine photoshoot — in which Evans sported several casual looks, all paired with jeans — the actor claimed his middle-school self would also be thrilled to be declared the Sexiest Man Alive.

“He’d be pumped,” Evans told the outlet. “This would probably be the road to the cool table, which I was not at.”
