Anthony Hopkins for Sexiest Man Alive

On a Sunday, McConaughey shared a collection of images from the 2025 Joy Awards held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Instagram. In this post, he put forward Anthony Hopkins as his nominee for the PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive title.

I was thoroughly thrilled to stumble upon a snap capturing McConaughey and Hopkins in their sleek black ensembles, gracing an event together. The venerable Hopkins, aged 87, affectionately draped an arm over my shoulder while ‘Sing 2’ star McConaughey beamed at him with a heartwarming grin, extending a finger in his direction.

The article additionally showcased a self-portrait of McConaughey alongside Morgan Freeman, as well as an informal snapshot capturing Martin Lawrence in the process of straightening McConaughey’s tie.

This gathering stood out uniquely because McConaughey, Hopkins, and Freeman graced the screen together in Steven Spielberg’s 1997 movie titled ‘Amistad.’

In this context, “starred” means to appear as a character in a film or play. The sentence is now more natural and easy-to-understand, while still conveying the original meaning.

1. McConaughey’s caption reads: “It’s long overdue for this gentleman to be named People’s Sexiest Man Alive.”

2. He also mentioned that he is a first-class, admirable person (mensch).

3. Lastly, he posed the question: “Who else would you want to neatly tie your tie before you make your grand entrance on stage?”

Approximately two decades following his own title as People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2005, Matthew McConaughey offers a heartfelt endorsement for his friend Anthony Hopkins.

In a 2024 interview with PEOPLE, McConaughey jokingly responded to being referred to as the Sexiest Man Alive for nearly two decades: “Whenever someone else takes that title, people remind me, ‘McConaughey, you’re no longer the Sexiest Man Alive.’ To which I reply, ‘Well, I’m still alive. Come on!’

I carried on, offering a playful quip: ‘If you’ve given something a name and you’re still breathing, you’re still the Sexiest Man Alive – that’s my future take on things.’
