Borrowing one of Jimmy Kimmel’s most beloved bits, Blake Shelton is taking to Twitter to read mean tweets that others have written about his selection as People‘s 2017 “Sexiest Man Alive”.

While girlfriend Gwen Stefani heartily agrees with People‘s assessment, that isn’t true in some quarters of the Twitterverse, and Shelton good-naturedly goofed on his new status by reading tweets such as one: “Woke up this morning to the news that Blake Shelton is the sexiest man alive. RIP every sexy man in the world who died in the great sexy plague of 2017 overnight. You will be missed.”

He also shares one in which the Tweeter quips: “Blake Shelton is sexy if you like a guy who is always about to lean in and tell you about a hearty, healthy American dog food.” (That one got him to chuckle).

“Blake Shelton looks like a dad in a drug commercial where they list off the side effects at the end while you watch him build a birdhouse,” reads another.

Shelton saves his favourite for last: “We may be living in a time of division and strife, but at least People magazine has united us in our certainty that Blake Shelton is not the sexiest man alive.” Watch:
