Chris Hemsworth mastered Formula One racing in Rush and wielded the hammer of a Norse god in Thor, and now the Australian-born actor is brandishing the distinction of People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.
The 31-year-old told the celebrity publication that he thought it was 'pretty funny' when he was given this year's pop culture honour - a title most recently held by Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine.
Jimmy Kimmel made the announcement on his late-night talk show Tuesday night, with Hemsworth joining the broadcast via Skype.

'I learned everything there is to being sexy from Matt [Damon], to pursing the lips in the right way, to squinting at the essential time,' Hemsworth joked, taking a playful jab at 2007's Sexiest Man Alive.
The honour comes with a cover story on an upcoming edition of People, but Hemsworth, a married father of three, told the magazine that the best bonus will be the 'bragging rights around the house.'
'I can just say [to my wife, Spanish model, Elsa Pataky]: '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.''
Past honourees include actors:
Canadian-born Ryan Reynolds. Channing Tatum. Bradley Cooper.
Mel Gibson, the Mad Max star and now scandal-plagued actor, was the first to receive the honour, in 1985.
