Patrick Stewart is the REAL Sexiest Man Alive 2017
The collective hive mind of the Borg the internet was sent into meltdown when Blake Shelton was announced as People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive:

It didn't take long for Hugh Jackman, who was the magazine's award winner in 2008, to jump into the fray, having a dig at fellow X-Men Origins: Wolverine star and 2010 Sexiest Man Alive, Ryan Reynolds, in the process:
Hey @blakeshelton ... take it from me ... humble only gets you so far. Milk the sexy status for ALL it’s worth. The reign goes all too quickly. Just ask @VancityReynolds @people
- Hugh Jackman (@RealHughJackman) November 15, 2017
"Hey @blakeshelton," he tweeted, "take it from me... humble only gets you so far. Milk the sexy status for ALL it's worth. The reign goes all too quickly. Just ask @VancityReynolds @people."
Reynolds replied by saying both Shelton and Jackman were "just bumps on the road" to Sir Patrick Stewart, who he tagged in his tweet.
And just like that, Captain Jean-Luc Picard beamed down with one photo to trump them all:

In the above issue of TV Guide, Sir Patrick puts aside the Shakespearian outfits to channel Right Said Fred, and we just can't stop looking at it.
Maybe we're under Professor Xavier's mind control. And we don't think we're the only ones:

In a recent interview, Sir Patrick admitted that his agent originally told him that Star Trek: The Next Generation was destined to get cancelled after only one series, and he should use the opportunity to get a tan.
What an image.
