\n\tAfter heating up emergency rooms since 1994, Noah Wyle<\/a> has officially been named People\u2019s Sexiest Man Alive for the first time.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his People interview<\/a> for the prize, \u201cThe Pitt<\/a>\u201d star said he was in disbelief when he got the news. \u201cI thought that sounded like a prank \u2014 just not in a million years did I think that this would be an honor bestowed on me,\u201d Wyle said. <\/p>\n

\n\tHe added, \u201cI hope this changes everything. I hope it\u2019s just wine and roses, milk and honey from here on out. [Laughs] No, I don\u2019t, but I am going to take a lot of ribbing from friends and family for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWyle was first introduced to TV audiences as medical student and doctor John Carter on NBC\u2019s \u201cER<\/a>\u201d alongside stars like George Clooney, Anthony Edwards, Sherry Stringfield and Julianna Margulies. Though he never won, Wyle earned three Golden Globe nominations and five Emmy nominations over the show\u2019s run. Back in Jan. at the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, Clooney joked <\/a>that the organization should do a \u201csexiest man still alive\u201d issue, saying that he \u201cwould nominate Noah Wyle as the first guy\u2026 When I grow up, I want to be Noah Wyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t16 years after the show\u2019s finale aired in 2009, Wyle found himself back in a hospital as the disgruntled attending physician Dr. Michael \u201cRobby\u201d Robinavitch in HBO\u2019s \u201cThe Pitt.\u201d His portrayal as the doctor across the show\u2019s two seasons won him the Golden Globe for best performance by a male actor in a television series, drama in 2026, and back-to-back Emmy awards<\/a> for best actor in a drama series in both 2025 and 2026. Season 3<\/a> of the hit medical drama is set to premiere in Jan. 2027.<\/p>\n

\n\tLaunched in 1985 by Mel Gibson, the Sexiest Man Alive contest marks its 41st year. Wyle succeeds \u201cWicked\u201d star Jonathan Bailey<\/a>, who was named People\u2019s Sexiest Man Alive for 2025 and was the first openly gay man<\/a> to receive the title. He joins past winners including Patrick Dempsey, Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, Michael B. Jordan, John Legend, and Idris Elba.<\/p>\n
