It's no secret that Tatum, 32, has been causing women (and, let's face it, many men) to swoon ever since he showed off his dance moves in 2006's Step Up opposite now-wife Jenna Dewan, but this year he upped the hotness factor exponentially with his super sexy role in Magic Mike.
But Tatum still had a hard time believing the news. He tells People, "My first thought was, 'Y'all are messing with me.'"
First Lady of Sexy, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, now refers to her hubby by his new title - but she knows there's a lot more to him than washboard abs. "People know him to be fun and sexy, but they don't know how emotionally deep and spiritually open he is," she tells the magazine. "He is such an open-hearted person; what you see is what you get."
If you're keeping score, Ryan Gosling still has yet to be recognized as People's Sexiest Man. Last year, the oversight drew protesters outside the magazine's New York office. Wonder if they'll stage a similar demonstration this year?
