Actor Chris Hemsworth may head the list for People's 2014 Sexiest Man Alive issue but that didn't stop a couple of athletes turned analysts from making the cut.
Ubiquitous television personality and former Giants football star Michael Strahan made the list along with the sexy Thor star. But it was the inclusion of former Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow — currently toiling as an SEC Network talking head — that could be considered a bit of a surprise.
Hemsworth, who plays the Marvel hero with the flowing locks and enormous hammer, won the cover spot (he was a runner-up in 2012) but shrugged off the accolade.
"I can just say to Elsa, 'Now remember, this is what the people think, so I don't need to do the dishes anymore, I don't need to change nappies. I'm above that. I've made it now.'"
Like Hemsworth, Tebow poo-pooed the honor.
"I don't go through life trying to be sexy; I go through life trying to help others," he says. "It sort of hits me out of the blue when I find out that anyone finds me attractive. I mean, it's a great compliment, but I'm just trying to do the right things and live my life in the right way. I want to be noticed for the right reasons."
One thing you can be sure about: Kelly Ripa is thrilled out of her gourd for Strahan's selection and she'll be yammering about her gap-toothed co-host all week.
The celebrity list also includes "Guardians of the Galaxy" star Chris Pratt; Jamie Dornan of the upcoming "Fifty Shades of Grey" adaptation; Ki Hong Lee, who stars in the young adult apocalyptic thriller "Maze Runner"; country star and "The Voice" mentor Blake Shelton (last year's winner was fellow coach Adam Levine); Oscar-nominated actor Bradley Cooper, the 2011 "Sexiest Man Alive"; "White Collar" star Matt Bomer; Eddie Redmayne of the Oscar-buzz biopic "The Theory of Everything"; and Scott Foley, turning up the heat on "Scandal."
