Michael B Jordan has been named People magazine's sexiest man alive, taking over the honour from singer John Legend. The 33-year-old actor, who starred in Black Panther, was revealed as the winner during Jimmy Kimmel's US chat show, entering the studio in a pandemic-appropriate yellow hazmat suit.

Michael had his voice disguised while he answered a series of questions from fans at home. He gave clues, saying he worked in film, was not an Avenger, he is not married and has also not been in a relationship with Taylor Swift. A viewer then correctly guessed Jordan's identity and he removed the mask.
