The Saturday Night Live alum was certainly on the campaign trail as he told People: ‘So get it going internally, all right? Sexiest Man.’

The funnyman certainly looked like he was vying to be on that coveted cover at his latest red carpet.

The actor donned a white Adidas track jacket in support of his favorite MLS team, LAFC along with black jeans and white Adidas sneakers.

He upped the sex appeal with a pair of aviator sunglasses with black lenses as he put on his best poses. 

Despicable Me 4 will pick up where the last movie, 2017’s Despicable Me 3, left off. 

The official logline for the fourth installment of the hit animated film franchise reads: ‘Gru welcomes a new member to the family, Gru Jr., who is intent on tormenting his dad.’ 

The plot twist continues as ‘their peaceful existence soon comes crashing down when criminal mastermind Maxime Le Mal escapes from prison and vows revenge against Gru.’ 

For Despicable Me 4, Steve Carell will reprise his voice role as Gru.
