"Sabi ko nga, it's really awkward to be here. And to be the number one, parang medyo inappropriate. Pero kapag sinabi ng napaka-credible ng team behind YES! magazine, kailangan mong irespeto. Hindi siya isang bagay na para lang masabi ng YES!, hindi nila gagawin yun," says John Lloyd Cruz about being the first male cover of YES! 100 Most Beautiful Stars.

Bago pa man sumabak sa pag-aartista 14 years ago si John Lloyd Cruz, tiyak na marami na ang nagsasabi at madalas na niyang naririnig ang mga katagang "pogi" o "guwapo" siya. 

And through the years ng pagiging matinee idol, box-office king, and one of the best actors of his generation, mas lalo pang dumarami ang humahanga sa pisikal niyang kaanyuan.

Kaya naman hindi kataka-taka kung si John Lloyd ang napili ng YES! magazine upang maging kauna-unahang male cover ng kanilang 100 Most Beautiful Stars special edition.

Ang mga nag-cover na sa YES! 100 Most Beautiful Stars ay sina Judy Ann Santos (2007), KC Concepcion (2008), Marian Rivera (2009), at Kim Chiu (2010).

Sa ginanap na press conference at unveiling ng YES! 100 Most Beautiful Stars 2011 kaninang tanghali, July 28, sa Ruby Ballroom ng Crowne Plaza sa Ortigas, "awkward" daw ang naramdaman ni John Lloyd nang malaman niyang siya ang cover at "Most Beautiful" this year.

"Para mapasama sa listahan ng ganitong naggagandahang mga nilalang, at ikaw pa ang cover ng magazine, overwhelming definitely.

"But it's awkward to be here. But nevertheless, I'm very thankful."

Sinabi ito ng aktor during the presscon proper, kung saan nakatabi niya sa presidential table ang editor-in-chief ng YES! na si Jo-Ann Maglipon at ang ilan sa mga mga nakasama sa listahan this year—Glaiza de Castro, Lovi Poe, Empress Shuck, Rocco Nacino, Barbie Forteza, Jillian Ward, Isabelle Daza, Louise delos Reyes, Bela Padilla, Joseph Marco, Yen Santos, at si John Lapus na siya ring nag-host ng event.

Ayon naman kay Jo-Ann, "Ang dami-daming guwapo, pero for some reason, nababaitan talaga kami, nababaitan talaga ako sa batang 'to. Kaya siguro lahat, may common vote."

BEAUTY FOR JOHN LLOYD. Ano naman ang sariling concept ni John Lloyd tungkol sa beauty?

"Ako, tingin ko kasi, I have a very complex way of defining or seeing beauty.

"Totoo nga ang sinasabi ko na iba-iba tayo ng pagtingin kung what's beautiful...

"Ako kasi, well, physically—great hair, magandang legs, yung medyo may pagka-misteryoso ang mata, sexy back.

"But tingin ko kasi, real beauty comes with what happened... it is something more substantial.

"And to be more specific, kaya medyo complex ang pagtingin ko sa beauty, I think the more intriguing form of beauty is pain and suffering."
