Us: Country's Sexiest Men (November 2014)

Kings of Country: Blake Shelton

Ruggedly handsome, down to get dirty: In many ways, Shelton, 38, is your classic country hunk. Not only does he live on a 1,200-acre farm in Tishomingo, Oklahoma (population: 3,060), he admits to some pretty “backwoods hobbies,” as he puts it. He loves hunting deer, cruising back roads (“I’ve only ever owned trucks,” he points out to Us) and, uh, watching his corn grow. I’ve probably planted 40 acres! That stuff, believe it or not, gets me excited.” That may come as a surprise for a guy who, for the past two years, spends half the year in Hollywood for NBC’s The Voice. But, as wife Miranda Lambert explains, “he’s not one of those girlie guys at all. He’s definitely a country boy, and what you see is what you get!”

HIS SECRET SIDE

Moves like Jagger

Adam Levine ain't got nothin' on him. On the set of their NBC show, The Voice, he throws dance parties in his trailer. "They call me Shufflin' Shelton."

Beauty pageant past

"I started at age 7. It sucked. I've locked it out of my memory. I'm sure Mom has a video she'd sell for a pretty penny."

He copied Miranda

"At one point, I tried to steal the headbanging she does in her shows," he tells Us. "She looks cool when she does it, but I looked stupid!"
