The 33-year-old actor, known for his roles in “Black Panther” and “Creed,” tweeted a video early Wednesday in reaction to winning the annual title, which People has awarded since 1985.

“What’s going on? My name is Michael B. Jordan, and I am this year’s Sexiest Man Alive,” he said in the clip. “The people said it. The people said it.”

He added that his mother, a regular reader of the magazine, is the most excited about the news.

“I think a lot of the older women in my family are definitely proud of this one,” he said. “This is one that they’re definitely going to have a special place for.”

In a profile of the actor, the magazine noted that Jordan has been a vocal supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement and championed diversity with his production company, Outlier Society Productions.
