Sexiest man title is a joke: Cooper

London: Actor Bradley Cooper, who was recently awarded the sexiest man alive title by People magazine, says he doesn`t take the tag too seriously.

"It`s been a weird couple of weeks, I did originally laugh and then I just started crying. I`m glad it doesn`t detract me from my work, I hope it doesn`t! It would be unfortunate if it did, because I`m not really that kind of a guy at all," contactmusic.com quoted him as saying. "I guess it`s a bit of a joke, I hope it won`t change things. I think it`s really cool that a guy who doesn`t look like a model can have this title. I think I`m a decent-looking guy. Sometimes I can look great, and other times I look horrifying," he said. IANS
