Bradley Cooper has taken home the Sexiest Man Alive 2011 title in the latest issue of People magazine.

The “Hangover” actor is quite humble about the accolade, saying, “I think it’s really cool that a guy who doesn’t look like a model can have this [title]. I think I’m a decent-looking guy. Sometimes I can look great, and other times I look horrifying.”

The positive traits and qualities People attribute to Bradley Cooper include French fluency, cooking prowess, motorcycle ownership and a diploma from Georgetown. Oh, and he’s close with his mom: upon hearing that he’d been crowned Sexiest Man Alive 2011, he said, “[The] first thing I thought was, ‘My mother is going to be so happy.’”
