David Beckham was revealed on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" last night to be People's 2015 Sexiest Man Alive, and the 40-year-old former soccer star is definitely worthy of this title. As someone who is internationally known for his rugged good looks and killer body, you'd think he'd be used to people calling him sexy by now. However, the athlete turned-underwear model is surprisingly shy when it comes to compliments as major as this one.
"I thought I was past my sell by date but thanks to @PeopleMag for the accolade and the compliment!" he captioned a photo of his dreamy magazine cover. "I always feel a little shy when receiving these Awards, though it will make my Mum happy. This one the kids will laugh at, as they see what Daddy looks like in the morning!"
Beckham is married to one of the most beautiful women in the world, fashion Mogul and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, has four gorgeous children, and has been known as a sex symbol for over two decades now, but the British heartthrob is still a little humble when it comes to things like this.
"It's a huge honor and I'm very pleased to accept," he told People. "I never feel that I'm an attractive, sex person. I mean I like to wear nice clothes and nice suits and look and feel good, but I don't ever think of myself that way."
As for what his stylish wife really thinks about her husband receiving this honor, she was all for it. "I would hope that she feels this way about me all the time anyway!" he continued to say. "But she said, 'Congratulations!' We kind of laughed about it with the boys and the boys kind of laughed at me and said, 'Really?! Sexiest man alive? Really?'"
