New Delhi, Nov. 4 -- Jonathan Bailey, best known for his appearances in Wicked and Bridgerton, has been announced as this year's "sexiest man alive" by People magazine. The 37-year-old joins past recipients of the title, including George Clooney, Chris Hemsworth and others.

Bailey said it was a "huge honor" and he is "incredibly flattered" by receiving it.

"And it's completely absurd. (Laughs) It's been a secret, so I'm quite excited for some friends and family to find out," the actor told the magazine.

His selection was announced on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The Office fame John Krasinski got the 'Sexiest Man Alive' title last year.

Some of the other Hollywood celebrities who have received the title include Channing Tat...
