John Legend has already achieved the legend status in his own right. He is one of the only 15 people in the world to receive an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards) and now he is also declared the world’s Sexiest Man Alive, by the People magazine.
The news made his wife Chrissy Teigen react in most amusing way possible, as she had a ball poking fun at her husband on twitter.
On the other hand, previous winners of the Sexiest Man Alive, such as Hugh Jackman, Blake Shelton, Dwayne Johnson congratulated him.
John Legend was scared when he received the title
Previous winner of the Sexiest Man Alive was Idris Elba, and that definitely made John Legend very nervous as he said on twitter:
1995 John would be very perplexed to be following 2018 @IdrisElba as #SexiestManAlive. Hell, 2019 John is about as equally perplexed but thank you @People for finding me sexy. I'll take it ? pic.twitter.com/Gw1la5Ebv4

He said that he was excited, but also nervous about how people are going to react about this:
“Everyone’s going to be picking me apart to see if I’m sexy enough to hold this title.
Dwayne Johnson and Idris Elba took this chance to troll each other:
Elba said the Dwayne Johnson still believes he has the title:
My G Congratulations brother! You deserve it. DO NOT TELL @TheRock. He still thinks he’s got the title, I didn’t have the heart to tell him when I took it.
Dwayne Johnson trolled Idris Elba back by saying that Elba paid the People magazine to choose him:
Congratulations brother! Welcome to the club. You earned this one. Just like I did. And unlike @idriselba who paid @people 50% of his future earnings for his sexy title. The three of us will raise a tequila glass soon. Congrats again you sexy SOB.
Blake Shelton was extremely supportive:
Blake Shelton loaded heaps of praises on Legend, saying that he was already an EGOT, and after winning The Voice he became a VEGOT, and now he was “VEGOTSMA” after winning the Sexiest Man Alive.
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman were at each other’s throats yet again:
Hugh Jackman had won the title in 2008, and Ryan Reynolds won it in 2010 – but when John Legend won it, they both took it as a chance to make fun of each other.
Jackman posted a video of him Reynolds where they are walking and Jackman drops a copy of his “Sexiest Man” issue.
“Have you seen it?” Jackman says.
“I have an issue somewhere, I have a few of yours. Usually I cut the eyes out or the mouth.” replied Reynolds.
John Legend’s wife Chrissy Teigen had the most fun of all:
Chrissy was absolutely ecstatic as she made a series of twitter posts poking fun at her husband. She broke the news by saying:
I have fulfilled my dream of having boned PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive!! An honor!!!!!
In the next post, she said that the “The kids… do not care,” while posting a video of their kids who were more interested in watching TV:

Then she posted another tweet directly to her husband:
Come home please, we want to make fun of you in person.
After he came home, she kept posting more:
The Sexiest Man Alive just made me a ham sandwich!
Although, she was incredibly proud of her husband and she showed this by taking on all the haters who tried to make fun of John Legend by saying that he didn’t fit their template of being a sexy man.
