David Beckham Is People Magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive' For 2015

Move aside, Chris Hemsworth -- People magazine has named David Beckham as the "Sexiest Man Alive" for 2015 . 

Jimmy Kimmel made the announcement Tuesday night on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" revealing the cover and subsequently, interviewing the sexy cover star. The 40-year-old former soccer star is married to designer and Spice Girl Victoria Beckham. Together the couple have four children: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.

In his "acceptance" speech on the late-night show, Beckham said the honor was "the best moment of his career" and thanked a few people for making it possible. 

Though Beckham said he is honored to receive the accolade, he told People he had a few hesitations. 

"I never feel that I'm an attractive, sexy person," said Beckham in his People interview.  "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." 

Beckham joins an elite group of men who have all claimed the "Sexiest Man Alive" title. Hemsworth claimed bragging rights in 2014,  while Maroon 5 frontman and "The Voice" coach Adam Levine won it in 2013 .
