It's no secret that we love ourselves a hot and hunky True Blood star. And Ryan Kwanten has to be one of our faves.

So has the 34-year-old Aussie actor given in to all the fan fodder and finally accepted his sex symbol status?

"It's hard to fully accept the title with complete and utter humility," Kwanten admits in the new issue of Da Man magazine. "It's obviously not my goal to have this title, but if someone wants to give it, hey I'm all for it, you know."

And it's not like Kwanten is constantly stressing about maintaining his fine physique.

"To be honest, the physical side of things has always been a part of who I am as a person," he says. "It is not something I do out of vanity, but I do it just to maintain my own sanity—to be honest."

One of his favorite ways to work out?

"I have been doing yoga for seven, eight years," Kwanten says. "It really changed the way I not just look at myself, but my view of the world."

Downward facing Ryan, anyone?
