Rumors are swirling that Chris Evans will be named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive when the mag hits stands and the web next week. Page Six says they have confirmed this from multiple sources.

"The 'Knives Out' hunk was originally slated to take the mantle last year, but insiders tell us that bosses thought it was better to wait a year after he�accidentally uploaded a picture of his penis online," Page Six adds.

"Evans — who will voice Buzz Lightyear in Pixar's upcoming 'Toy Story' spinoff — will be unveiled on the cover of People next week. Last year,�Michael B. Jordan won the title, and a source told us: 'Chris was in discussions to take the cover last year, but it was not great timing.' "

The "Captain America" star, 40, unintentionally shared the photo to his then 5.7 million followers while playing a game of "Heads Up!" It was revealed within a gallery of videos and pictures.

And while Evans is a great choice and a great gay ally, wouldn't be something if People were to pick a queer celebrity for the honor. Here are some nominees:

Luke Evans

Welsh Luke Evans has been chronicling his workout progress over the past year, making him buff enough for the honor.

Lil Nas X

He is 2021's biggest music superstar and unabashedly queer, much to the chagrin of conservatives. Lil Nas X is proof you can be much talented, very sexy, and very gay.

Johnny Sibilly

He may not be all that well-known, but out actor Johnny Sibilly made quite an impression as the hot water inspector on HBO Max's "Hacks." He recently signed on for the "Queer as Folk" reboot.

Gus Kenworthy

Since coming out in 2015, Olympian freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy continues to show how much fun an out athlete can have, and is expanding his career to acting.

Jeremy Pope

Up-and-coming out Broadway actor Jeremy Pope was one of the few to be nominated for two Tony Awards in two categories in 2019. And his first role on television, in Ryan Murphy's "Hollywood," nailed him an Emmy nom, which he spoke about in this interview.

Tom Daley

Olympic gold medal winner and happy dad Tom Daley has become a leading spokesperson for LGBTQ equality in sports.

Lee Pace

This Marvel alum, and the star of the recent sci-fi series "Foundation," Lee Pace recently showed his cred for the honor on a photo shoot.

RIcky Martin

Touring the world with Enrique Iglesias, the out Latin superstar is on top of the world and his career. And when he grew and colored his beard, he was quickly called one hot daddy.

Dyllón Burnside

Out Actor Dyllón Burnside had a break-out role as Ricky Evangelista on "Pose," but this 32-year-old has had a long show biz career, having started as a teen as a member of the boy band 3-D.

Telly Leung

Out actor Telly Leung has carved his niche on Broadway with roles "Pacific Overtures," "Wicked" (where he played the hunk Boq on tour), "Rent," "Allegiance," and "Aladdin" (where he played the title role). The talented singer also released a CD, "Getaway." Could a major TV or movie role be next for the hunky actor?

Thomas Beattie

Thomas Beattie made headlines recently when footballer Josh Cavallo came out, citing the former British star as his mentor. Since coming out in 2020, Beattie has had one of the most active and hottest IG accounts.

Troye Sivan

Aussie out music star Troye Sivan continues to grab headlines, such as when he thirst-trapped a sexy pic of himself in a jockstrap in August, and praying that Timothée Chalamet was going to be bi-curious at the Met Gala. The sexy 26-year old continues to unabashedly thirst-trap on IG.
