Noah Wyle speaks out on being named People's Sexiest Man Alive: “I thought that sounded like a prank — just not in a million years did I think that this would be an honor bestowed on me. I hope this changes everything. I hope it’s just wine and roses, milk and honey from here on out. [Laughs] No, I don’t, but I am going to take a lot of ribbing from friends and family for sure... I was so hoping today was going to be the day. ‘Look at you. You’re the Sexiest Man Alive. Finally you can be comfortable in your own skin.’ Not yet. I like being in other people’s skin. I like putting on characters. I get self-conscious. It’s still the hardest kind of interaction for me, speaking without a script as myself." (via People_ variety.com/2026/tv/news/noa…
