The American actor Paul Rudd has been named the sexiest man alive by People magazine.
The 52 year old Marvel star follows in the footsteps of Michael B Jordan, who was awarded the title last year.
Rudd found out the news on the The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, who carried out tests on the Ant-man star's attractiveness.
Paul Rudd has reacted with a high degree of humility to the sexiest man news. He told People:
I do have an awareness, enough to know that when people hear that I’d be picked for this, they would say, ‘What?’ This is not false humility. There are so many people that should get this before me.
Rudd's films include Clueless, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up and This Is 40. His Friends character Mike Hannigan also dated, and ultimately married Pheobe Buffet.
He's also starred in several Marvel blockbusters, as Ant-Man, including in Avengers: Endgame.
Rudd is married to Julie Yeager and they have two children.
He ultimately sees himself as a family man, telling People: "When I think about myself, I think of myself as a husband and a father, like I'm that," he says. "I just hang out with my family when I'm not working. That's what I kind of like the most"
