1People magazine has named actor Michael B. Jordan as its 2020 Sexiest Man Alive.
2Jordan is best known for his critically praised performances in the films Fruitvale Station, Creed and Black Panther.
3The magazine's choice of Jordan was announced Tuesday night on the American television talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!
4The 33-year-old Jordan told People that the honor is a "cool feeling."
5"You know, everybody always made that joke, like, 'Mike, this is the one thing you're probably not going to get,'" he said.
6"But it's a good club to be a part of."
7Females among Jordan's family were especially pleased about the recognition, as fans of the magazine.
8"When my grandmother was alive, it was something that she collected, and then my mom naturally reads it a lot and my aunts as well," Jordan said.
9"This is one that they're definitely going to have a special place for."
10Other recent winners of sexiest man alive include singer John Legend, actors Dwayne Johnson and Chris Hemsworth, and soccer star David Beckham.
11Jordan's rise in Hollywood has come through strong performances on television series like The Wire and Friday Night Lights.
12He made his mark in film as police shooting victim Oscar Grant in Fruitvale Station.
13He also played boxer Adonis Creed in the Rocky series of movies and Erik Killmonger in Black Panther.
14Jordan has helped lead socio-economic change in the U.S motion pictures industry.
15He started his own production company, Outlier Society Productions, which was among the first to support what is known as the inclusion rider.
16It supports efforts to employ diverse groups of actors and crew members.
17Jordan also has been active in the Black Lives Matter movement and has spoken in support of early voting registration in the United States.
18"I think there's a time and a place for everything," he told People.
19"We can all take action - big or small - to help create the change we want to see."
20In 10 years, Michael B. Jordan hopes to direct and produce more than act.
21"Just growing, whatever the next evolution of me is," said Jordan, who will star as an American spy in the film Without Remorse.
22But what more could the "sexiest man alive" want?
23"Hopefully, a family," he said. "I'm going to throw that in the universe."
