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."
Past choices of
the magazine, which began handing out the accolade in a 1985 cover story on
fellow Australian Mel Gibson, have ranged in age from 27, with John F. Kennedy
Jr. in 1988, to 59, with Sean Connery a year later.
Johnny Depp,
George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Richard Gere have each been chosen twice. Last
year's cover, rocker Adam Levine, was one of the few non-actors selected by the
editors.
Hemsworth, whose
first film was 2009's "Star Trek" and is married to Spanish actress
Elsa Pataky, will appear on the cover of People in the issue published on today.
