Maroon 5's vocalist Adam Levine has been officially named the 'Sexiest Man Alive' of 2013 by People Magazine last Tuesday.

The 34-year-old pop star beat 12 contenders for the title including Bruno Mars, Justin Timeberlake, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Pine, and Luke Bryan. In an interview with the magazine, the 'Beautiful Goodbye' singer claims to be taken aback by the announcement: "As a musician, you have fantasies that you want to win Grammys, but I didn't really think that this was on the table. I was just amazed and stunned and it almost seemed like they were kidding, but they weren't, so that's cool."

What is Levine's secret in maintaining a praiseworthy body?

According to Levine, he thanks yoga for his fit body. He claims to practice yoga everyday even before hitting the concert stage. He admits that a yoga mat is something he can never leave the house without.

Aside from revealing that the sci-fi movie 'E.T.' made him cry, the Los Angeles-born crooner also talked about his engagement with Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo: "I didn't think marriage was for me for a long time. I was ready when I was ready. That's about as simple as it could possibly be."

Prior to being proclaimed as 2013 Sexiest Man Alive, Levine also made headlines this year for launching his very own KMart clothing line, '222'.

He now belongs to People's roster of sexiest men which previously included Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum, Ryan Reynolds, and Matt Damon.
