Action man Dwayne Johnson will be named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive 2016, according to reports.

Website GossipCop leaked the news exclusively on Monday (14Nov16), revealing the Central Intelligence star will take over from retired soccer ace and model David Beckham, who was named the Sexiest Man Alive last year (15).

Johnson, who is currently filming the Jumanji sequel in Hawaii, is having a great year following the movie hit Central Intelligence and his cable TV drama Ballers, while he has also shot the Baywatch movie and given his voice to Disney's new animated film Moana.

And next year (17), he'll appear in the next Fast and Furious sequel.

Johnson joins a long list of People's Sexiest Man Alive, including Mel Gibson, who was the first recipient of the prize in 1985, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Chris Hemsworth, rocker Adam Levine, Bradley Cooper, and Ryan Reynolds.
