CHRIS Evans is an American actor who is famously known for his role as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In November 2021, rumors started to spread that the Marvel star has been given the title of People's Sexiest Man Alive, and fans want to know the truth.
What is People's Sexiest Man Alive?
The title of Sexiest Man Alive is given to one celebrity or famous person each year by People magazine.
It is billed as a benchmark of male attractiveness, as is typically chosen by who American's think is most appealing at that point in time.
“There are so many different variables and ways of approaching it,” People Editor-in-Chief Dan Wakeford told CNN in 2019 about how they determine a winner.
“A starting point often is, when we want to make a decision, is to think about the zeitgeist, think about what is sexy at the moment. What do people find appealing at the moment?”
The man is also chosen based off polls conducted by the media outlet.
“We did look at data,” Wakeford continued. “We have more than 90 million consumers a month stepping into the People brand, so we’ve got a lot of data at our fingertips.”
Last year's winner was Michael B. Jordan, who Wakeford said was a "universal choice."
Is Chris Evans People's Sexiest Man Alive 2021?
It was reported on November 5, that Evans, 40, has claimed the title for 2021.
While People has not confirmed the news, multiple sources told Page Six that he has landed the cover.
The decision comes one year after the future Buzz Lightyear star accidentally uploaded nude photos of himself while attempting to post an Instagram video.
While he unintentionally shared the photo to his millions of followers, he later went on to call the situation "an interesting weekend full of lessons learned, lots of teachable moments."
It is rumored that this accident was the reason he was not chosen last year, however, sources from the magazine told Page Six that it was not the case.
