Marvel star Chris Evans has been named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive for 2022.
Thanks to his role as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Evans is one of the most bankable stars in the world at the moment and is in the mould of a Hollywood Heartthrob.
The actor is known for being charming and kind away from the limelight too, and that kind of popularity also aided him in winning the award.
Commenting on the accolade, Evans was as humble as ever.
"My mom will be so happy. She's proud of everything I do but this is something she can really brag about," he said.
"This whole thing is tough to be interviewed about. It feels like a weird form of humble bragging. It's something that as I become old and saggy I can look back on and say 'I remember then…' I'm lucky to be in the discussion in any capacity."
Evans has retired from his role as Steve Rogers in the MCU, and this has allowed him to pick roles more carefully.
"When it comes to seeking out the people I play it's more of an issue of where the movie shoots," he explained. "I'm too old to be living out of a suitcase for six months and I've settled into a nicer phase where I'm just happy being at home.
"The most enjoyable aspect of my career right now is feeling secure enough to take my foot off the gas. I feel like I have a bit more freedom to take time away from the industry and still find projects that will satisfy my creative appetite when I return."
