Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has been crowned sexiest man alive

"I'm honored and grateful for the luv!"

It's been quite the year for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

The former professional wrestler will be starring in the next installation of The Fast & Furious series, launched a YouTube channel and is the highest paid actor according to Forbes. Now, The Rock can add one more accomplishment to his list—he's just been announced as People magazine's 2016 Sexiest Man Alive.

In the issue, Johnson talks about exfoliating, his family and how positive changes in his career have contributed to his confidence.

"I think with a lot of my fans, I’ve gotten to a very, very cool place where there’s a direct line between the man they know off-screen and the man they see on-screen," he explains to People, saying his humor is probably what fans find "sexiest" about him.

"I'm honored and grateful for the luv," the mogul said before shared some clarifying words about what the title really means to him.

"Remember, sexy isn't something you 'try and be,'" he wrote on Instagram. "Sexy happens naturally when you're comfortable just being yourself."

"Trust me, I'm an expert at this. (plus I read the 'how to be sexy and a great kisser' guide when I was eight)," he explained.
