The men of the hit NBC drama are definitely top contenders for the "Sexiest Man Alive" title. Lead actor Milo Ventimiglia is a strong candidate this year, but he also has two other men in mind.

Ventimiglia recently shared his thoughts about People's "World's Most Beautiful" issue wherein his female co-stars Mandy Moore, Chrissy Metz and Susan Kelechi Watson are featured. He said of the three stories, it was Watson’s that made him cry.

When asked if he has plans to start his own campaign for People's "Sexiest Man Alive" with Brown and Hartley, he admitted that he will have a hard time choosing who is sexier. "I tell you what, Sterling K Brown is -- he's sexy. He is sexy, dictionary-like classic. Nah, Sterling K. Brown is the sexiest ever, but then there is Justin Hartley. I don't know!" he told Entertainment Weekly.

It wouldn't be a surprise if Ventimiglia wins the title. In his critically-acclaimed performance as Jack Pearson in “This Is Us,” he has offered a glimpse of his perfect physique under his 80s T-shirt and classic Levi’s jeans.

As for Sterling, fans recently went crazy after he posted on Instagram a picture of his chiselled six-pack abs. He also shared secrets in keeping his sculpted body. Since he has a tight schedule, he admitted that he can’t go to the gym as often as he wants. “This Is Us” has yet to restart production, but Brown still has busy days ahead. He is currently filming “The Predator” and Marvel’s “Black Panther.” He is also set to star in “Marshall” later this year.

Aside from a strict healthy diet, Sterling said he also does workouts loosely based on P90X’s “Ab Ripper X” exercises. He also loves basketball, running, swimming, biking and yoga. “I try to get something in five days a week … I just try to do something to sweat at least an hour a day,” he told People.

Meanwhile, viewers have seen Hartley shirtless in several TV shows. He has shown his shirtless body as Kevin Pearson in the “The Manny.” The actor also confessed that he is willing to bare it all. However, the opportunity hasn’t arrived for him yet.

People releases its annual "Sexiest Man Alive" in November. Stay tuned for updates in case any of the “This Is Us” men are on the cover. Last year, the title went to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
