People Magazine just released their annual Sexiest Man Alive issue, with actor and filmmaker John Krasinski snagging the title. And included in the issue was Luke Newton. He attributes this newly recognized accolade to the work that went into preparing for being the focal point of Bridgerton ’s third season, as he told People:

This year, the steamy period drama saw Newton transform into a romantic lead, and he took the glow-up seriously. Colin “had changed and become a man, and I wanted to embody that physically,” he says.

Luke Newton has shared his incredible transformation into hunky Colin on Bridgerton after being featured in People's Sexiest Men Alive issue.
