There is zero doubt inMichael B. Jordan’s mind who PEOPLE’s nextSexiest Man Aliveshould be: He thinksCreed IIIcostarJonathan Majorshas all the assets for the title.
Jordan, 36, suggested Majors, 33, during their appearance onSherrialongside cast mate Tessa Thompson.
“I’m volunteering my man Jonathan Majors for the next Sexiest Man Alive. I think it’s got to be Jonathan,” Jordan told hostSherri Shepherd. (Thecurrent title-holder is Chris Evans.)
Shepherd then pivoted to Majors, who plays the main rival to Jordan’s Creed in theRockyspin-off.
When asked how it felt to be a sex symbol, Majors said, “It’s so cool because it brings focus to the art, and it brings focus to whatever else. But I got my man here who is also a sex symbol [Michael B. Jordan] so I just follow my brother here.”
