Colombian striker, James Rodriguez has been voted the sexiest man of 2014.

The World Cup Golden Boot winner, who made an estimated €80 million transfer to Real Madrid, was awarded the sexiest man by People En Espanol magazine.

James' wife insisted that his personality is what makes the attacking midfielder so alluring, not necessarily his boyish good looks.

"He's a very attractive man," Daniela Ospina said. "But what I most like is the way he is, his personality. It's what I really love."

james joins a list of celebrities that have won the English language version of the award. They include Hollywood actors Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Matt Damon and Ryan Reynolds.

Recently, James became the new “face” of Bronzini Black, a Colombian underwear brand. He has a 15 month-old daughter.
