The 41-year-old actor admitted his mum Lisa will enjoy being able to ‘brag’ about his new title – won by fellow actor Paul Rudd last year – but is now prepared to be mocked by some of his friends. He said: “My mum will be so happy. She is proud of everything I do, but this is something she can really brag about. “It’s hard to be interviewed about this whole thing. It’s like a weird form of humble bragging. “Really this will just be a point of intimidation. It’s ripe for harassment.” The star – who is best known for his role as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – admitted he chooses his film roles based on where they are set today because he feels “too old to be living out of a suitcase for six months”. He said: “When it comes to looking for the people I play, it’s more about where the film is shot. “I’m too old to live out of a suitcase for six months and I’ve settled into a nicer phase where I’m just happy to be home.” Away from acting, Chris – who has previously dated Jessica Biel and Dianna Agron – would love to get married and become a father one day. Speaking to the publication’s 2022 Sexiest Man Alive issue, he added: ‘This is absolutely something I want. “Some things you want just for you or just for my family and friends.” The “Knives Out” star was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” Mel Gibson first received the title in 1985 and many stars including Chris Hemsworth, Idris Elba, John Legend, Dwayne Johnson, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, David Beckham and Ryan Reynolds have since been recognized.
