CONGRATS TO CHRIS HEMSWORTH FOR BEING 'PEOPLE'S SEXIEST MAN ALIVE 2014'

Well it took People Magazine long enough to figure out what we already knew that Chris Hemsworth was pretty sexy. But now it's official (I guess).

Chris was revealed as People's 'Sexiest Man Alive' for 2014.  Jimmy Kimmel revealed the honor on his show last night.

More after the break.


People writes:

He continues to smite bad guys as a hammer-wielding Norse god in The Avengers, will fight off a terrorist hacker in Michael Mann's upcoming cyber thriller, Blackhat and battle a whale in Ron Howard's In the Heart of the Sea, but there was no contest when it came to naming Aussie Chris Hemsworth this year's Sexiest Man Alive.

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.

"I think you've bought me a couple of weeks of bragging rights around the house," he tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. "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.' "

The Australian-bred Hemsworth also reveals that he prefers to sleep sans pajamas, has a signature dance move (with a spin!) and would rather be home in Australia, where he and Pataky live with their three kids – daughter India, 2½, and 8-month-old twin sons, Sasha and Tristan – than anywhere else.

"We just had a big beach day with the kids, swimming and kicking the ball around," he says. "That was the first time in a long time we've done that. That's what it's all about."

As for that ripped body, Hemsworth, who puts on 20 lbs. of muscle for his role as Thor, says he tries to be disciplined when it comes to his diet and exercise but looks forward to his cheat days. "Then it's pizza, hamburgers, beer, sugary things," he adds. "Everything I'm not allowed to have!"
