Dwayne Johnson named Sexiest Man Alive

Former WWE champ Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson can add People’s Sexiest Man Alive title to his list of accomplishments.

The wrestler-turned-actor was crowned this year’s winner Tuesday morning. The 44-year-old tells the magazine that the honour means he has “pretty much reached the pinnacle.”

Last year’s winner was British soccer standout David Beckham. Other recent winners include Chris Hemsworth, Adam Levine and Channing Tatum.

Johnson has lent his voice to a character in the animated Disney film Moana, which hits theatres next week.

Johnson has been hinting about a future presidential run for months. He’s reportedly a registered Republican, has attended conventions for both parties and he spoke at the RNC in 2000.

In People’s cover story, he appears to be campaigning already, saying he’s serious about a potential presidential campaign.

“I used to say it jokingly but every time I was asked, it was with a real genuine interest. And it was very earnest,” he said. “And so I started to really think. Could I make a difference? Could I surround myself with really brilliant people to help me make decisions? Do I care about this country?

“And when the answers continued to come up yes, then I thought, there’s a good chance. Yeah, one day. Then we’ll do another interview like this.”
