John Legend officially has it all. He's one of the youngest EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) winner in history and also the first African-American man to win all four. Now, he has also been named as People's Sexiest Man Alive 2019. The "All of Me" singer succeeds actor Idris Elba, who was named Sexiest Man Alive 2018. Legend is also known for being the perfect husband to his celebrity wife Chrissy Teigen and is a doting dad to their kids, 3-year-old daughter Luna and 18-month-old son Miles. Not many would have thought Legend would bag the Sexiest Man Alive title and well, Twitterati is certainly in shock. Chrissy Teigen Is 'Currently Sleeping with People's Sexiest Man Alive', John Legend and Is Proud of Having 'Boned' Him! We Can't Even...
John himself had a rather funny reaction to this as he took to Twitter saying, "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."

Elba congratulated Legend for bagging the title this year and poked fun at Dwayne Johnson saying, "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."
While this funny banter did make our day, Twitterati are wondering why Legend bagged this title with the likes of Jason Momoa and other celebrities in the running. Check out what they thought of John Legend being the Sexiest Man Alive 2019.
Could Carson Daly Be Next?

Well, it looks like netizens are not very happy with People's decision and as for the haters who are posting against Legend's crowning, beware, Chrissy Teigen will soon be giving it back to you!
