People magazine has chosen its 2014 Sexiest Man Alive. In its issue that comes out Friday, Nov. 19, People reveals that Australian actor Chris Hemsworth — best known for playing Thor in the movies — is its choice for Sexiest Man Alive.

Says People in an article on its website, “The actor, 31, thought it was ‘pretty funny’ when he first heard the news — as did his wife, Spanish model Elsa Pataky, 38, whom he wed in 2010.

In an interview with the magazine, Hemsworth tells People: “I think you’ve bought me a couple of weeks of bragging rights around the house. I can just say to her, ‘Now remember, this is what the people think, so I don’t need to do the dishes anymore, I don’t need to change nappies. I’m above that. I’ve made it now.”
