Just yesterday, Michael B. Jordan was crowned as this year's People's Sexiest Man Alive [1], which meant it was time for 2019 winner John Legend [2] to pass the torch on to his successor. "Congratulations to my brother Michael B! And thank you! I can now keep gaining this quarantine weight in peace without the pressure of a title to maintain," the "Wild" singer joked in a tweet on Wednesday.

The 33-year-old actor was unveiled as the Sexiest Man Alive on Nov. 18 on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where he hilariously said the expectation to look good with his newly minted title was "a little unreasonable now [3]." He continued, "When you get Sexiest Man, that's cool to everybody else, but for anybody that really knows you, that's another way they can give jabs to you." Ahead, check out John's silly reaction to the news.
