Jimmy Kimmel made the announcement Tuesday night on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" revealing the cover and subsequently, interviewing the sexy cover star. The 40-year-old former soccer star is husband to designer and "Spice Girl" Victoria Beckham. Together the two have four children: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.

In his "acceptance" speech on "Kimmel," Beckham thanked his parents, his hairdresser and his stylist, among others.

Though Beckham said he is honored to receive the accolade, he told People he had a few hesitations.

"I never feel that I'm an attractive, sexy person," said Beckham to the publication. "I mean I like to wear nice clothes and nice suits and look and feel good, but I don't ever think of myself that way."

Beckham joins an elite group of men who have all claimed the "Sexiest Man Alive" title. Hemsworth claimed bragging rights in 2014, while Maroon 5 frontman and "The Voice" coach Adam Levine won it in 2013.
