- Emmy-winning actor Noah Wyle, 55, has revealed he initially believed it was a prank when People magazine named him its Sexiest Man Alive.
- The Pitt star was persuaded by his wife, Sara, that he was deserving of the coveted title because of the kind of husband, father, and person he is.
- Wyle shared that his children reacted with teasing and practicality, with his son Owen warning the title might attract "haters" and his daughter Auden promising to tease him for 50 years.
- The actor anticipates ribbing from friends and family, including former ER co-star George Clooney, who has previously received the honour twice.
- Despite the accolade, Wyle admitted he remains self-conscious, explaining that he feels far more comfortable playing scripted characters than speaking as himself.
