AceShowbiz - Chris Hemsworth has been officially named PEOPLE magazine's Sexiest Man Alive of 2014. Wearing a grey T-shirt, Chris graces the cover of the magazine which is due out on Friday, November 21.
"I think you've bought me a couple of weeks of bragging rights around the house," Chris tells the magazine, "I can just say to [my wife], 'Now remember, this is what the people think, so I don't need to do the dishes anymore, I don't need to change nappies. I'm above that. I've made it now.' "
Chris also reveals that he prefers to sleep without pajamas, has a signature dance move and would rather be home in Australia with his wife and his three children, daughter India and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, than anywhere else.
"We just had a big beach day with the kids, swimming and kicking the ball around," the "Thor" actor shares, "That was the first time in a long time we've done that. That's what it's all about."
Chris, who puts on 20 lbs. of muscle for his role as Thor, reveals he looks forward to cheating on his diet and exercise. "Then it's pizza, hamburgers, beer, sugary things," he says, "Everything I'm not allowed to have!"
Jimmy Kimmel scored the big reveal of the PEOPLE Sexiest Man Alive on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Tuesday night, November 18. Prior to the announcement, Jimmy asked his audience to ask question to Chris, whose face was still covered at that time, via Skype before guessing who he was.
After the announcement, Jimmy asked Chris about his brother Liam Hemsworth. "He's been a real team player for this one," Chris said of Liam, "We've been throwing sexy looks back and forth all week."
Chris credited Matt Damon with teaching him to be sexy. "I learned everything there is about being sexy from Matt," he said, before thanking his predecessors, "Thank you Matt and all the other previous intelligent men."
As for other people he wanted to thank, Chris said, "My parents, I guess, for putting this together," while gesturing his body.
