Jack Black for Sexiest Man Alive? “People” Staffer Launches Glorious Campaign to Crown the Comedic King
Could the next Sexiest Man Alive be more Tenacious D than tall, dark, and brooding? If one People magazine staffer has her way, the answer is a glorious, head-banging YES.
Rachel McRady, a writer for People, has launched a one-woman (but quickly growing) campaign to crown Jack Black as 2024’s Sexiest Man Alive—and honestly? She makes a compelling case.
Triple Threat with a Twinkle in His Eye
In her own words, Rachel says:
“The man is a triple threat who can sing, dance, and act his face off.”
She’s not wrong. From rocking the stage in Tenacious D to delivering scene-stealing performances in School of Rock, Jumanji, and The Holiday, Jack Black is the kind of sexy that comes with a laugh and a lip-sync battle.
“He’s got the moves of a jungle cat, absolutely genius comedic timing, and that signature devilish grin.”
Honestly, find us someone else who could make slapping a bass sexy. We’ll wait.
The Holiday Take
McRady even dares to say what many rom-com fans secretly believe: Jack Black was a “superior love interest” to Jude Law in The Holiday. (Bold. Brave. Potentially correct.)
More Than a Funny Guy
Beyond the screen, Jack is a devoted family man, a charity supporter, and an all-around gem to his fans—known for his wholesome TikToks, red carpet antics, and giving off “coolest uncle at the barbecue” vibes in the best way possible.
Could It Happen?
With People typically announcing its Sexiest Man Alive in mid-November, there’s still time for the Jack Black renaissance to take over. Fans have already begun voicing support across social media, and the campaign might just be too fun to ignore.
And let’s be real—the world could use a little more joy, belly laughs, and bear hugs right now.
Final Thoughts
Sexy isn’t just six-pack abs and a smoldering stare. Sometimes, it’s a guy who can shred a guitar, rock a beard, quote Nacho Libre, and make millions of people smile.
So here’s hoping People hears the roar of the people… because Jack Black is ready for his close-up.
