The Gay Campbell's Soup Dads Made People's "Sexiest Men Alive" List
David Monahan and Larry Sullivan, the real-life dads who star in Campbell's #RealRealLife campaign along with their three-year-old son Cooper, can't believe they're still lingering in the limelight.
The pair were named "Sexiest Pitchmen Alive" by People in the new "Sexiest Man" issue, and joked about their new title in an accompanying interview.
"[Sexy is] in the eye of the beholder," said Sullivan. "We can be sexy on the inside, right?"
Monahan joked: "I'm happy to be considered sexy at 44. If we can be a sexy gay family I'm happy to be that, too."
"I didn't realize it would blow up and become the big deal it has become," Sullivan said of the family's newfound viral fame. They've become known around the internet as the 'Campbell's Dads' since starring in the spot, titled "Your Father," which has been viewed over 1 million times on YouTube.
"Neither of us have been on the 'I'm an activist' train, and I still don't think we really are, because all we're doing is just living our lives. But it just so happens that our spot is entering people's living rooms that normally probably wouldn't let us into their homes, and they don't really have a choice."
"All we're trying to do is pay for preschool and our mortgage!" Monahan added. "But we're happy to be that couple who put ourselves out there to just show that families come in all shapes and sizes."
People's "Sexiest Man Alive" issue hits stands today.
