Real Madrid's James Rodriguez has been named the sexiest man in the world for 2014, following his heroics at the World Cup in Brazil and his big-money transfer to Real Madrid.
The Colombian midfielder, who also recently lauched his own range of branded underpants, was given the honour by People En Espanol Magazine.
"He's a very attractive man," his wife, Daniela Ospina said. "But what I most like is the way he is, his personality. It's what I really love."
Rodriguez went from promising talent to global superstar this year, but his mother insists fame has not gotten into his head.
"He is still the same," Maria del Pilar Rubio added. "What characterises him most is his humility.
Hollywood actors Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Matt Damon and Ryan Reynolds, are some of the former winners of the English language version of the award.
