11 Men of Color Who Should Be People’s Sexiest Man Alive - Page 3

Every year since 1985, People magazine has named one celebrity the Sexiest Man Alive. Year after year, we hope they will show more love to men of color, but most of the time, they let us down. But have you ever wondered what the criteria is for the selection of the sexiest man alive?  Well in 2012 Julie Jordan (People’s editor at the time) told USA Today that the team at People pays attention to general conversation on social media and they actually speak with female celebrities on who their vote would be for the sexiest man alive. Most recently Michael B. Jordan was given the coveted crown in 2020.  Before him was John Legend in 2019, Idris Elba in 2018, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in 2016, and Denzel Washington in 1996.  But let’s keep it real ladies we can come up with a laundry list of men of color who could easily be People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive.  So we’ve decided to make a list to show love to 11 men of color that we think should be considered.  Let us know if you agree or did we miss one of your favorites?
