Several sports personalities have made it to the coveted list of Sexiest Man Alive of 2015 by People Magazine, while retired soccer star David Beckham takes the cover.

Nadal, who recently bared nearly all for the new Tommy Hilfiger underwear ad, is just one among the sport celebrities featured in the 30th annual People's Sexiest List of 2015. Ronaldo, on the other hand, has been a regular on People’s Sexiest List and was also included in People’s Sexiest List back in 2012. Basketball superstar Tony Parker is also featured this year.

Meanwhile, Beckham joined the likes of some of the hottest celebrities who have been crowned Sexiest Man Alive by the said magazine. The former Manchester United star told People that it was a huge honour to be recognised as the world’s sexiest man alive even though he never really believed he was sexy.

“It’s a huge honour and I’m very pleased to accept it,” Beckham said. “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.”

Other celebrities who have been crowned People’s Sexiest Man Alive are Chris Hemsworth, Adam Levine, Channing Tatum, Bradley Cooper, Matthew McConaughey, Brad Pitt, and George Clooney. The magazine hits the shelves on Nov. 27.
