GQ names Lil Nas X, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Tom Holland 2021 Men of the Year

Paul Rudd became People's 2021 "Sexiest Man Alive" last week. The spotlight shifted slightly toward GQ's 2021 "Man of the Year" issue this week.

The iconic men's magazine made a switch for its 26th annual "Man of the Year" honor, splitting into three categories: Athlete of the Year, Musician of the Year and Superhero of the Year:

Lil Nas X kicked things off as Musician of the Year, with the cover story by Jeremy O. Harris published Monday morning:

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Athlete of the Year, will have his cover story go live Tuesday, and the cover on Tom Holland, Superhero of the Year, will be available to read Wednesday.

Lil Nas X dropped his debut studio album Montero in mid-September, housing chart-topping singles "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" and "Industry Baby" featuring Jack Harlow.

Antetokounmpo is fresh off leading the Milwaukee Bucks to their first NBA title since the 1970-71 season. The two-time league MVP was named the 2020-21 NBA Finals MVP. 

Holland has portrayed Spider-Man/Peter Parker across Jon Watts' Spider-Man trilogy since 2017 after debuting as the famed superhero in 2016's Captain America: Civil War. The official trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home arrives Tuesday before the highly anticipated movie hits theaters Dec. 17.
