Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson says that being named People's “Sexiest Man Alive” has gone to his head. Johnson is the first Samoan ever named "Sexiest Man Alive" and the first non-white man to gain the title in 20 years. In a recent interview with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, he charmingly joked that the honor has turned him into “a monster.”

“Now I don’t even have to speak in full sentences,” he said, explaining that he now responds to his wife simply by grunting and making eyes at her. (Honestly, it’s hard to judge her for letting that slide.)

Fallon asked the star of recently released Disney film Moana if there’s anything "unsexy" about him, and Johnson cheekily responded, “I love to make breakfast in bed” and that he signs all his texts with heart and eggplant emoji.  

Though Johnson refused to divulge anything unsexy about himself, Fallon was prepared to humiliate him and whipped out a yearbook photo of Johnson from his high school days. Though it appears Johnson was just as much a beefcake then as he is now, the photo revealed a very unfortunate mustache. Johnson himself described it as a “dead caterpillar.”

Johnson also spoke about his baby daughter’s hatred of Santa Claus. He shared a story about how, after a failed visit to see Santa that ended in tears, he made it up to her by dressing up as her favorite character, Pikachu.

He showed a photo of himself in the giant yellow outfit, and the ability to pull of the Pikachu costume as well as he did affirms that he truly is the Sexiest Man Alive.
