t’s official: Chicago P.D.’s LaRoyce Hawkins has earned his place in People’s Sexiest Man Alive portfolio for 2025 — and One Chicago fans know the honor has been a long time coming.
Watch Chicago P.D. Wednesdays at 10/9c on NBC and next day on Peacock.
The outlet declared the actor as one of the sexiest “Hot Cops” on television for its latest iteration of the annual list. He earned the honor alongside fellow NBC star and beloved
During a November 7 interview with People celebrating his inclusion, Hawkins spoke about his body transformation over the years, revealing which feature he’s been told is his sexiest.
“My bottom lip,” Hawkins revealed. “It’s hard not to look at.”
The star explained that he’s gotten so much attention in recent years that married women routinely come up to him with a shocking — and hilarious — confession that never fails to make him blush.
“Wives pull up on me with their husbands sometimes and they claim I’m their hall pass,” Hawkins admitted. “Most husbands, they do a good job of being good sports about it.”
Despite officially being deemed one of 2025’s sexiest men on the planet, Hawkins explained that he wasn’t always known for his good looks. In fact, he had an unfortunate nickname early in his One Chicago tenure, which began when he first brought Kevin Atwater to life in
“They used to call me ‘Fatwater’ because I was a lot thicker, a little more round back then,” Hawkins said. “There were some things I had to improve on over time.”
Fortunately, in the years since, Hawkins is the healthiest he’s ever been. The 37-year-old credits a combination of diet, exercise, and an overall focus on healthy, clean living for transforming him into yet another One Chicago heartthrob.
“I like to think that it’s definitely done a great thing for me and just my health overall… I feel so much better than I did when I started the show. I didn’t even know — not that I felt bad — I just didn’t know how much better I could feel,” Hawkins told the outlet. “13 seasons later, you could just see the difference… I’m very grateful for everything that I’ve learned and the new habits that I’ve been able to pick up.”
Fans can catch Hawkins in new episodes of Chicago P.D. Season 13 every Wednesday at 10/9c on NBC. As always, P.D.
closes out every Windy City Wednesday following new episodes of Chicago Med and Chicago Fire at 8/7c and 9/8c, respectively.
New episodes are always available on Peacock the day following their original airing.
Earlier this year, Todd Chrisley received a pardon from the President. However, Patricia Altschul is a tougher sell. Unlike POTUS, this Southern Charm star refuses to absolve Todd of his verbal crimes. Instead, this queen honey bee is standing ten wealthy toes down, adamant that Charleston is not a place for a “felon” like Todd.
Todd and Patricia are the reality feud I never saw coming. Their tiny tit for tat started after Todd’s release from prison. “During the [post-prison] press conference, I had stated that we are doing a hotel and it’s going to be near Charleston, South Carolina,” Todd explained. In response, Patricia said, “Well, there goes the neighborhood.”
Well, Todd did not like that. So, he made several jests about Patricia, which mainly focused on her older age and her finances. Overall, it was gross.
So, recently clapping back via Decider, Pat quipped, “He’s very irrelevant. I said four words—there goes the neighborhood — and he went on, and he did a whole program about me. It was just a comment in passing.” Nevertheless, Patricia stands by her original stance, saying, “We just don’t need any more felons in Charleston.”
Todd and his wife, Julie Chrisley, were indicted on charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United States back in 2019. They swore they were innocent. Yet, they were still found guilty. In all, The Chrisleys: Back to Reality stars received a combined 19 years in federal prison, but thanks to their pardons, they walked out of their prison cells for good in May of this year.
And now, Ms. Pat wants them to heed her words and not walk toward her in Charleston.
Southern Charm Season 11 premieres on November 19, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock, or Hayu in Canada, the UK, and Ireland.
