Colbert pretended to “interview” Rudd, 52, for the Sexiest Man Alive “position” in a “comprehensive sexy evaluation.”
People magazine, the publication that chooses the “sexiest” man every year, confirmed Colbert’s big reveal on social media.
“I do have an awareness, enough to know that when people hear that I’d be picked for this, they would say, ‘What?‘ ” Rudd said to People. “This is not false humility. There are so many people that should get this before me.”
The 2020 Sexiest Man Alive was actor Michael B. Jordan, and in 2019 the title went to performer John Legend.
