Why Michael B. Jordan was chosen as People's Sexiest Man Alive

 (CNN)Like the rest of us, People magazine's Editor-in-Chief Dan Wakeford has been working remotely -- and that means putting together the magazine's Sexiest Man Alive issue with his team virtually, while a politically divided nation battles the coronavirus pandemic. All of which Wakeford factored in when choosing this year's cover star, Michael B. Jordan.

"He's a man for the ages, right?" Wakeford told CNN. "Every year we look at what is the spirit of the year? What does the zeitgeist want at the moment? After a difficult year, we wanted to find somebody who provides that balance of escapism and comfort and inspiration. And we really felt that Mike did that. It doesn't hurt that he's extremely hot as well."

Besides his good looks, Wakeford said it was Jordan's activism behind the Black Lives Matter movement and his production company's effort to make Hollywood more reflective of our world that helped cement him as Sexiest Man Alive.
