Move over, heartthrobs! Role Model just claimed his crown.

The singer and rising actor has officially been named the first-ever centerfold in People’s 2025 Sexiest Man Alive issue, making history and breaking hearts simultaneously.

The Maine native is in his moment right now, and honestly, he’s earned it. Between acting, writing, and staying booked and mysterious, Tucker is proving he’s more than just the guy your crush told you not to worry about.

He teased that he would “love to have another album out by next fall,” sharing that he has been writing a lot lately, but in true chaotic-boyfriend fashion, he added, “Do not quote me on that. I can’t plan that far ahead. I literally don’t even know what I am doing tomorrow.” We support honesty.

This past summer was big for him creatively. Between filming his first-ever film and reconnecting with life back home, his approach to art feels different. “It feels different this time. I am not pulling myself out of social experiences to write an album. I am trying to do the opposite and experience everything right now.”

And of course, there were pop-culture crossover moments! He told People that Charli XCX asking him to be “Sally” on SNL was a last-minute text that changed his whole night. “She said ‘You are now forever in debt to me, and you are in my pocket.’ That made my Saturday night. I love her.”

He also had a very… cinematic run-in with Jacob Elordi in Paris. “He was like, ‘My twin, my brother.’” The two bonded over the viral moment Role Model signed autographs in Central Park as Jacob. And yes, Jacob was chill about it and even invited him to go surfing. That is a movie.

People’s first centerfold. Surf invites from Jacob Elordi. Charli calling him forever in debt. Girl, the soft-boy cinematic universe is thriving!
