As we approach the end of 2022 and look back over a year of headlines, some sexy faces and bodies stood out more than the rest.

We’re in awe of their smiles, built bodies, and talent. But who had the sexiest year? Let us know who should be HB’s sexiest man of 2022.

If you were among the small population of viewers who watched Hulu’s Mike, you too probably tuned in to see Trevante Rhodes in his underwear. (Don’t worry, we did too). While Mike garnered mixed reviews, one thing is for sure, Rhodes’ looks landed him on this list.
