2016’s Sexiest Man Alive reacts to the announcement of 2017’s winner

We still haven't quite properly come to terms with this.

In case you missed it earlier this week, the winner of 2017's Sexiest Man Alive was announced, and the much-coveted title went to none other than Blake Shelton. The world, to put it mildly ... reacted. With the world still trying to understand what exactly is going on - Is this Stranger Things? Are we, in fact, in the Upside Down right now? - one of the many people who weighed in the subject was 2016's Sexiest Man Alive winner, the still very much alive Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He responded to a Tweeter asking the not unreasonable question as to whether The Rock was still (A) alive and (B) a man.

Did @TheRock become less sexy in the past year? Because he's still a man and still alive, so I gotta call shenanigans on People. pic.twitter.com/bdifY0KT6x

To which Dwayne hilariously responded...

In case you've already forgotten that now infamous image of The Rock styling out a  bumbag, don't worry, because we've got you covered. The whole debacle is just further proof that 2017 might just be the weirdest year in the history of recorded events. And there's still 6 more weeks to go.
