Australian actor Chris Hemsworth named ‘sexiest man alive’ by People magazine

NEW YORK, (Reuters) – “Thor” star Chris Hemsworth was named People magazine’s “sexiest man alive” on Tuesday in a live broadcast of the late night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

Hemsworth, 31, appeared via Skype clad in a loose-fitting t-shirt with his face obscured and his voice disguised electronically, answering questions from the audience about his age, whether he was single and if he was an actor as they tried to guess his identity.

The star of “Thor,” sequel “Thor: The Dark World” and “The Avengers” gestured towards his face and thanked his parents “for putting this all together” after he was correctly identified by an audience member and his full appearance was revealed.

Hemsworth also wryly thanked “all the other previous intelligent men, because this is based on an IQ test, not just physical appearance.”
