Dave Franco Named PEOPLE Magazine's First-Ever Sexiest Cat Dad: A Purrfect Win on The Tonight Show
Dave Franco has been named PEOPLE Magazine's first-ever Sexiest Cat Dad, a title he proudly accepted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The actor/director, known for his roles in various films, shares his life with his wife Alison Brie and their two tabby cats, Max and Otis. Franco's charm and love for his feline companions won over the hearts of PEOPLE readers, who voted him as the top choice in the Sexiest Cat Dad category.
Competing against other notable figures like Kumail Nanjiani, Mark Ruffalo, and Myles Turner, Franco humorously expressed his gratitude for the recognition during his acceptance speech on The Tonight Show. The announcement of his win marked a milestone for PEOPLE Magazine, as this year's Readers' Choice Poll included new categories such as Sexiest 40 Year Old, Sexiest New Heartthrob, Sexiest Tattoos, and the groundbreaking Sexiest Cat Dad.
The inception of the Sexiest Cat Dad category was a result of a collaboration between TEMPTATIONS and reality star Kordell Beckham, who advocated for the acknowledgment of cat dads as admirable individuals. After four decades of honoring the most captivating men in the world, PEOPLE Magazine embraced the idea and introduced the Sexiest Cat Dad category to celebrate the special bond between men and their feline companions. Dave Franco's recognition as the Sexiest Cat Dad signifies a shift in the traditional perception of pet ownership and highlights the importance of cherishing the relationships we have with our beloved pets.
