New Girl men Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris and Damon Wayans Jr. have got fans hot under the collar after they featured in People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive line-up.
The actors, who played Nick Miller, Schmidt, Winston Bishop, and Ernie 'Coach' Tagilaboo, in the Zooey Deschanel-fronted sitcom, were brought back together by the publication six years after the show ended on Fox – leaving many swooning.
Together, the foursome posed for a series of photos and videos, effortlessly slipping back into the goofy characters that made them adored around the globe.
'We were around each other for many hours a day,' Morris told the publication.
'So, when you get around each other, you instantly get back into silliness.'

New Girl aired on Fox from 2011 to 2018, and is still remains a much-loved show.
Reflecting on why they think the sitcom is just as popular today as it was when it aired, Max said: 'It's the perfect binge show.
'Where you have old shows that we grew up with, more traditional sitcoms, they would be on and then they would sort of disappear and they would go in syndication, but you had to find them.
'But because of Netflix and all these streamers, it's so easily accessible now that every year there's new college kids who are spending some weird weekend where they're like, "I watched all 130 episodes, and now my life has changed."'
When asked about the possibility of a reunion, Jake said: 'None of us have any power about a reunion.
'But I think we all would if the right thing came, it's really fun to be together.'
'We get asked so many questions about the show and "what about a reunion?" And none of it is up to us,' Max added.
'It's so much about Liz Meriwether who created the show and what she would do differently and how she would direct the show and if she would want to do a reunion.

A fifth continued: 'These guys are in almost their 40s and they look like the 10 years had never passed.'
'Proof that being funny can make men sexier,' added a sixth.
'NOW THESE are actual sexy men,' penned a seventh.
The New Girl reunion comes as the magazine sparked an internet frenzy for including Benny Blanco among the hunks in the upcoming issue. The choice prompted Blanco's girlfriend Selena Gomez to share a sweet reaction to the honor.
This year's Sexiest Man Alive cover star — chosen based on their physical attractiveness, charisma, and cultural impact — will be announced on November 12.
