Adam Levine is the sexiest man says People

Singer Adam Levine is named People's sexiest man alive.

Proactiv spokesman Levine, the frontman of the Grammy Award-winning rock group Maroon 5 and a judge on the hit NBC singing show "The Voice," was named People magazine's sexiest man alive, the magazine announced on Tuesday.

The 34-year-old singer-songwriter, who is engaged to Victoria's Secrets model Behati Prinsloo, told People magazine he was shocked.

"As a musician, you have fantasies that you want to win Grammys, but I didn't really think that this was on the table," Levine said.

"I was just amazed and stunned and it almost seemed like they were kidding, but they weren't, so that's cool."

Levine joins a list of winners including Channing Tatum, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Ryan Reynolds, George Clooney and Matt Damon.

The singer is now acting, appearing on FX television series "American Horror Story." He also appears in the 2013 film "Can A Song Save Your Life?" with Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo. The movie premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

"This is just a really interesting time where everything seems to be heading in a certain direction," he said. "And I'm not taking any of it for granted."

In an interview with the New York Daily News, "The Voice" makeup artist Darcy Gilmore revealed that the singer is actually a beauty aficionado, referring to Levine as her "dream male client." Airbrushed face makeup courtesy of a Temptu Pro compressor, foundation and a tinted moisturizer from Proactiv are some key weapons in Levine's beauty arsenal, according to Gilmore.

"He can actually tell the difference between good and bad makeup," she said, "He has a very accurate eye and has great hair ideas."
