American award-winning singer, John Legend has been named People magazine’s “sexiest man alive” for the year 2019, but said he is scared because he is wondering if he could live up to the title.
According to PEOPLE, John Legend gets to keep that award this year because of his several achievements and accolades.
The 40-year-old singer, who is married to model Chrissy Teigen with whom he has two children, is the first black man to have achieved coveted Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony (EGOT) status for his work, and he’s seen as one of the nicest guys in Hollywood.
Speaking with the magazine, John Legend said he’s feeling the weight of being crowned the sexiest man in the world for 2019.
“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 [also] following Idris Elba, which is not fair and is not nice to me!” he told PEOPLE.
He went on to talk about his beautiful family who the Internet can’t enough of. For John, he is happier and even more confident about life.
“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!” he said.
He took to his Twitter page to thank People Magazine for the mantle.

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 🤓 pic.twitter.com/Gw1la5Ebv4
