Who Is the Sexiest Man of 2015?

The ladies have spoken: In the tightest race yet, you won’t believe who edged out the (gorgeous) competition to  win the honor or being our hottest hunk of the year.

Morris Reigns Supreme

Your voices have been heard! In the tightest race we’ve ever seen, you chose Morris Chestnut as the hottest hunk of the year, edging out favorites Idris Elba and Michael B. Jordan by just a few votes. We pay tribute to this oh-so-sexy year.

The Year Of Morris

In 2015, we fell for Chestnut all over again as the lovable pathologist “Rosie” on Rosewood and he brought us out to the theaters in record numbers this fall in The Perfect Stranger. Seriously, who can ever get enough of this man?

Hey Rosie

It’s a shame you have to be dead for Dr. Rosewood to look you over, because he plays one fine pathologist on FOX’s hit show.

Hey Lover

“The one thing that I like about Rosewood is that he gets to really enjoy life,” says Chestnut. “Like, he has fun everyday.”

Flashback Fun

Who can forget when Chestnut stopped by the photo booth at ESSENCE Music Festival this summer? He left a trail of screaming fans everywhere he went.

“Words can’t express how appreciative I am of my fans and the people who have supported me throughout all of these years,” Chestnut told ESSENCE this summer as he prepared for his new film and TV show to premiere back-to-back.  We appreciate you too, cutie!

Do we even have to ask you who’s the hottest chocolate of them all?
