Blake Shelton named People Magazine’s 2017 ‘Sexiest Man Alive’

Country singer Blake Shelton has been crowned by People Magazine as the 2017 Sexiest Man Alive.

Shelton, a coach on “The Voice,” was excited when he received the news, saying he couldn’t wait to shove it up fellow coach and 2013 sexiest man alive Adam Levine‘s rear.

“As proud as I am and honored that you guys asked me, that’s really the only thing I care about,” he said.

He also credited his girlfriend Gwen Stefani, who is also a coach on “The Voice,” for convincing him to accept the title. He said:

She goes, “Listen to me, you’re going to regret this for the rest of your life if you don’t take this gift and just live in the moment.”

When he first heard the news, he said, he thought: “y’all must be running out of people.”
