Noah Wyle Named People’s 2026 Sexiest Man Alive

Noah Wyle was named PEOPLE’s 2026 Sexiest Man Alive. The 55-year-old actor said he initially thought the news was a prank and joked that the honor might bring “wine and roses,” while admitting he gets self-conscious speaking as himself rather than in character. Wyle first became a heartthrob as Dr. John Carter on ER and has found a new audience as Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch on The Pitt. His wife, Sara Wells, said the recognition reflects the kind of husband and father he is; Wyle has three children.
