John Legend is well aware that many took issue with him being labeled the “Sexiest Man Alive” last year, revealing that he believes fan-favorite Jason Mamoa may walk away with the crown in 2020.

As the reigning titleholder, Legend, 41, has enjoyed his time on top, but is more than happy to pass the torch.

“It’s been funny, it’s been humbling, it’s been all those things,” Legend told People. “I’ve truly enjoyed just making fun of myself throughout it because you can’t take yourself too seriously when someone calls you the Sexiest Man Alive. It’s not a literal thing, and it’s not to be taken too seriously.”

“I’ve appreciated the whole experience and I’ve been trying to have a lot of fun with it, but I’m so ready to relinquish this title,” he added.

When it comes to the 2020 honoree, Legend believes the “Aquaman” star, also 41, could be the one based on his own fanbase.

“I don’t know, I do not know. Going by my Twitter mentions when I was named of who people said should have been picked over me, I got a lot of Jason Momoa,” Legend admitted. “That’s the one person that stood out in the Twitter feedback.”
