Adam Levine's PR team must be really working hard for that Christmas bonus this year, because People magazine has officially chosen the singer/reality show judge as this year's "The Sexiest Man Alive." Here's what Adam had to say about the title:
“As a musician, you have fantasies that you want to win Grammys, but I didn’t really think that this was on the table,” the singer tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. “I was just amazed and stunned and it almost seemed like they were kidding, but they weren’t, so that’s cool.”
The L.A.-raised Levine also reveals that he cries at movies (E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial always gets him), loves to be naked and is looking forward to settling down with his fiancée, Victoria’s Secret model Behati Prinsloo. “I didn’t think marriage was for me for a long time,” the 34-year-old says. “I was ready when I was ready. That’s about as simple as it could possibly be.”
Really People? Out of all the hot guys in Hollywood, this was your best choice? If you're wondering why we're not psyched about their decision, you're probably not familiar with the kind of crap that Adam has spewed over the years. The guy is literally the worst, and here are some examples why:
From
Women's Health in 2010: "Let's face it, I only practice yoga because the classes are always packed with beautiful women."
From
MTV in 2004: "I want our shows to have masses of sexuality and crying."
From OK! Magazine/Howard Stern in 2012: In a TMI conversation, Adam revealed he uses "a fool-proof birth-control system," the pull-out method. "I didn't start a band to get girls," Adam said with a laugh. "I stayed in the band to get girls."
When asked by
Cosmo whether he'd rather be smart or funny, Levine replied: "If I were too smart, I would realize all the ills of the world."
And our favourite, this interview published in the June 2012 issue of
Details magazine:
"There are two kinds of men. There are men who are fucking misogynist pigs and then there are men who really love women, who think they're the most amazing people in the world. And that's me. Maybe the reason I was promiscuous and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much."
"Nothing wrong with making money," Levine says. 'I'm always quoting the part in Jerry Maguire when Cuba Gooding talks about the 'kwan': 'love, respect, community, and the dollars, too.' I love that shit. Nobody has it all, but for me to even come close is amazing."
"You know what yoga's good for?" Adam Levine asks, pausing in mid-thought as he discusses his healthful lifestyle. He draws to his feet, balances in the private jet's narrow aisle, points at his crotch, and thrusts his pelvis like a porn star. "I'll tell you what yoga is good for: Fuuuu-k-ing," he chimes, in a singsong falsetto, then laughs."
"I hate flying," Levine says. "Know why? Because no one really understands how planes actually work.'"
