No one was more surprised to hear that Blake Shelton won out as the Sexiest Man Alive for 2017 than the man himself.

Nevertheless, Shelton continues to own up to the title rather than push away the People prize by flaunting his status around to all of his famous friends. The country singer plans to eat up all the attention he can get from reigning over the entertainment industry with his good-looking award, whether he be taking care of simple tasks or chatting with co-workers on set.

“It’s going to be used in every conversation, whether it’s at The Voice, or at the feed in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, or in a conversation with a doctor. When [people] would say to Adam, ‘Mr. Sexy,’ you’d always see him go, ‘Well, awwww…’ If you say that to me, it’s going to be, ‘You’re damn right, I’m Mr. Sexy! I’ve been ugly my whole life, if I can be sexy for a year, I’m taking it. I’m taking it,” he joked in his People cover story.

Shelton milked the title even more with hilarious tweets piling up on his timeline about making even the smallest of gestures into sexy motions. From getting the hiccups to eating pickles, the singer couldn’t help but brag about how hot People thinks he is.

Former Sexiest Man Alive Hugh Jackman egged Shelton on by giving the stamp of approval over his non-serious cockiness over the celebrated rank of good looks, to which the Oklahoma native took in the words of support.

“Thank you my good looking associate… I shall take your advice. #donthatemebecauseimbeautiful,” he responded to Jackman.

The news of Sexiest Man Alive was announced during an episode of The Voice on Tuesday night (Nov. 14), in which Shelton unveiled his massive cover to fellow coach Adam Levine to Levine’s dismay.

Shelton also visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show where he chatted with the popular talk show host about milking his new title for all it’s worth.
