Multiple award-winning musician John Legend has been named People‘s Sexiest Man Alive. The news comes after the star’s incredible year. In 2018 he won an Emmy Award for producing Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, and officially joining the elite list of stars with an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and a Tony.
Speaking to the magazine on the title he shared in part: “I was excited, but I was a little scared at the same time because it’s a lot of pressure. Everyone’s going to be picking me apart to see if I’m s-e-xy enough to hold this title. I’m [also] following Idris Elba, which is not fair and is not nice to me!
John also shared a little about how his parents taught him to be kind and humble. “My father taught me about character. He taught us by example. He always conducted himself with such grace and dignity,” he says. “My parents always taught me that if you’re going to succeed in life, part of success is having humility. It’s a good way to live life, treating other people the way you want to be treated.
He added: “I’m so proud that I have a wife and two kids I’m so in love with and so connected to. I’m also so proud of my career,” he says. “I love writing songs and performing on stage. I get a lot of joy from it and give a lot of joy to other people. I’m pretty at ease with myself now! John Legend named People’s Sexiest Man Alive. Congratulations!
