As the renowned New York-based fashion magazine celebrates its 50 years of the remarkable voyage, the key contributor, The Rock, took a trip the memory lane relishing some past glorious moments.

Winning the title of the Sexiest Man Alive by People was more about being physically appealing. Rather, it’s a huge shout-out to one’s whole being, including their feats, captivating presence, and the mammoth star power they bring to the table. And considering all these factors, Dwayne Johnson is the full package. The charismatic superstar proved the notion right once again appearing on the People’s 50th anniversary cover.

Ever since getting his grasp into the WWE world, The Brahma Bull has been on a serious roll. You may wonder what the secret hack of staying relevant for such a long time is and that too in multiple fields, but you should instead look at the sky-high confidence that the star oozes and get your confusion cleared.

The Black Adam actor has recently sat for an interview to talk about how it feels to be in the shoes of the Sexiest Man Alive. The WWE legend expressed gratitude for receiving the prestigious honor.

Johnson dubbed it as a full circle moment of his life. While he has been in good contact with other SMA stars, including Chris Evan, and appreciates their feats, The ‘Moana’ actor had an ultra-confident perspective that sounds, ”Listen, just so you know, here’s the thing with Sexiest Man Alive, I’m actually the only one who has it in perpetuity. So you guys have it for a year — but I have it for life.”
