Adam Levine, the judge of the reality singing show The Voice and frontman for the band Maroon 5
was voted “Sexiest Man Alive” by People Magazine last week. He’s dating
a supermodel, is covered in tattoos and is a huge rock star. A guy
called “sexiest man” couldn’t possibly be geeky or nerdy right? Wrong.
Here are some geeky things to love about Adam Levine
1. Adam Levine Has a Collection of Superhero Underwear
In 2010 Adam Levine said he had extensive collection of “superhero underwear.” He even showed his Superman underwear on stage.
His fiancee, Victoria Secrets model Behati Prinsloo, says she doesn’t know why he doesn’t wear them anymore, but he still has them. “Well, he had an amazing collection of superhero underwear that I really love, but he doesn’t like to wear it anymore. Not Wonder Woman, but there is a Superman. Actually, I took over the whole collection. Now I wear it to go to bed.” Levine said he’s “okay with that.”
2. E.T. Makes Adam Levine Cry
Adam Levine says his favorite movie is E.T. the Extraterrestrial. Levine also admits he cries at movies and especially E.T.. What self-respecting geek doesn’t?
3. Adam Levine Likes to Dress Like Batman
Levine told People magazine, “This is going to sound silly, but my style icon is Batman… Especially the Christian Bale Batman. He’s very suave.”
4. Adam Levine Loves Freaks and Geeks
1999s cult hit Freaks and Geeks is beloved by geeks everywhere including Adam Levine.
Freaks and Geeks was so incredible. It should have taken over the world.

6. Adam Levine Hates Star Trek: the Original Series
Geeks argue about which Star Wars and Star Trek is better, but Levine has it figured out.
New school Star Trek is better than new school Star Wars. However, old school Star Wars destroys old school Star Trek. Say that 3 times fast

I didn't even know who he was. I was getting him confused with that Adam Lambert guy from American Idol. Maroon 5 sucks. I went to one of their concerts with the Counting Crows but since the Crows went first we just left after they performed. Made getting out of the parking lot easier.
Can't comment on the sexy part. He was cool until he dissed Star Trek.
And hairless cats are so freaky…
wait, what… who is this guy? sexiest guy… william shatner, wait… patrick stewart!
I had no clue who this was till I read the post.
He has the 5 o'clock shadow thing down that the chick seem to dig.
I remember wearing the underwear and the shirts that went with them as a kid…good times….goood times.
I've always been a fan of Levine's. I will leave determinations of his sexiness to others, however.
the sexiest man alive…hmm, not sure about that. I agree with Alex, though, hairless cats are freaky.
He's not my pick. But OK. Guess he's somewhat geeky. Not sure he's geeky enough. 🙂
I've never heard Levines geekspeak but he looks like a million in that suit. Wheres E.T?
Interesting facts. 😀 I'm a huge fan of Adam Levine. About the sexy part, I have about five other guys on my list, including him running for that post.. LOL
