LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A tonne of admirers around the world have been enthralled by People magazine's annual release of its highly anticipated Sexiest Man Alive title, which always causes excitement to develop.
Though he failed to win People's Sexiest Man Alive title, Jason Kelce came precariously close to pulling off another inconceivable feat.
The selection process this year seems to be no different, with a wide range of contenders fighting for the coveted title. These include Pedro Pascal, Timothée Chalamet, Usher, Jamie Foxx, and Lenny Kravitz.
The selected person possesses more than just physical attractiveness; they also possess a unique combination of talent, charisma, and an irresistible charm that goes beyond appearances.
Jason Kelce regarded as Philly's most beloved sports figure
Fans believed that after being the most popular sports person in Philadelphia, hosting the record-setting 'New Heights' podcast, and starring in the 'Kelce' documentary on Amazon, Jason would add something more unexpected to his resume.
Unless someone has been living under a rock, they are aware that the Philadelphia Eagles center Jason is the brother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who has been apparently developing romantic feelings for pop singer, Taylor Swift.
However, Jason—not his brother—makes the final cut for People's 'Sexiest Man Alive' list, joining Timothee Chalamet, Pedro Pascal, Lenny Kravitz, Usher, and Jamie Foxx.
Jason, 36, is currently playing in his 13th NFL season, with the Eagles. He is the cornerstone of an offensive line that has led Philadelphia to an 8-1 league record.
Among Jason's on-field achievements are six Pro Bowl choices and five All-Pro selections. He also played a part in the Eagles' historic Super Bowl victory in February 2018.
In recent years, Jason's off-field fame has increased significantly. Together with his brother, tight end Travis for the Kansas City Chiefs, he co-hosts 'New Heights,' the top sports podcast in the United States.
A recent documentary, 'Kelce,' followed him and his family during his 2022 season, both on and off the field. Moreover, Travis and Swift's connection has also contributed to his increased visibility.
Fans rooted for Jason Kelce to win People's Sexiest Man Alive title
Jason almost became the only player from the NFL to have won the award, however, lost the title to an older actor from Hollywood.
Fans expressed their opinions on X (formerly Twitter) and how they rooted for the NFL player to be the winner, with one writing: "Travis has gotta be devastated."
A second fan exclaimed, "I have never, and will never, love an athlete the way I love this man"
"Representing for the bearded dad bods," wrote a third fan, while a fourth one added, "100% legit. Great husband and father as well as teammate."
Another one chimed in, "Most honest Man out there!! Give that MAN his due!!"
One more justified Jason's selection and said, "I totally agree, especially when @JasonKelce‘s raising funds for Autism! There’s a special sexy sparkle in his eyes, and a heart of gold the size of Sea Isle, thanks for sharing him with Philly Kylie!"
"Jason Kelce is representing peak man performance that the likes of even Usher cannot fathom. It's not even close," typed another Eagles fan.
Who won People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive award 2023?
Former 'Grey's Anatomy' actor Patrick Dempsey, 57, won the People magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive' 2023 title, defeating the 36-year-old center for the Eagles, as revealed on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' on Tuesday, November 7.
