John Legend named 2019's sexiest man alive

John Legend has been named the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine and the Grammy winner says he is under "pressure" as he succeeds actor Idris Elba. The 40-year-old musician said he is "excited" and a "little scared" about receiving the title.

"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 sexy enough to hold this title. I'm following Idris Elba, which is not fair and is not nice to me!" he told the magazine.

Legend also took to Twitter to share the news with his old photograph and tagged Elba in the post.

"1995 John would be very perplexed to be following 2018 @IdrisElba as #SexiestManAlive. Hell, 2019 John is about as equally perplexed but thank you @People for finding me sexy. I'll take it," the All of Me hitmaker wrote.

Elba retweeted his best wishes to Legend and quipped Dwayne Johnson still believes he has the title.
