AceShowbiz - David Beckham has earned the title of PEOPLE magazine's Sexiest Man Alive of 2015. In an interview with the magazine, the former soccer star keeps low profile and hopes that his wife, Victoria Adams, also thinks that he's the sexiest man alive for her.
"It's a huge honor," David says of receiving the magazine's 30th anniversary Sexiest Man crown. "And I'm very pleased to accept." Despite the title, the father of four says, "I never feel that I'm an attractive, sexy person. I mean I like to wear nice clothes and nice suits and look and feel good, but I don't ever think of myself that way."
