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

Well, it's good to know People magazine is on the same page as many Adam Levine admirers.

The mag officially announced today that they've named the Maroon 5 frontman as the 2013 Sexiest Man Alive, and although it may seem obvious to those of us who swoon over The Voice coach's rugged sex appeal, Levine admits he didn't see it coming.

"As a musician, you have fantasies that you want to win Grammys, but I didn't really think that this was on the table," the singer tells People in this week's cover story (hitting newsstands Friday). "I was just amazed and stunned and it almost seemed like they were kidding, but they weren't, so that's cool."

During his interview with the mag, the Los Angeles native also revealed that he cries at movies (especially E.T.), loves to be naked and is looking forward to settling down with his fiancée, Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo (sorry, did you forget the Sexiest Man Alive is engaged?).

"I didn't think marriage was for me for a long time," he said. "I was ready when I was ready. That's about as simple as it could possibly be."

The rumor that the handsome rock star was going to snag the title began circling the Internet last week, but when asked about whether or not it was true, Levine kept playing coy, insisting that he knew "nothing."

And when asked by Today cohost Savannah Guthrie about possibly being short listed by the magazine, the 34-year-old offered a rather bashful response. "I don't believe you," he said, embarrassed. "It would be a lot of things. It's an interesting idea. I don't know."

Believe it, Levine! You're a stud!
