Mario Lopez knows how to strike a pose. And a pose is exactly what he strikes in the latest issue of People magazine, where he is named Hottest Bachelor.

Lopez, who recently split from "Dancing With the Stars" girlfriend Karina Smirnoff, recreates the "Marky Mark" pose made famous by Mark Wahlberg. Suffice it to say the photo only shows Lopez and his Calvins.

As an exercise guru, Lopez recently penned his own workout book called "Mario Lopez's Knockout Fitness." That doesn't mean the star has always had washboard abs.

The former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant said he was a very chubby baby, and in fact looked like a sumo wrestler.

As a hot bachelor in People, the magazine asked Lopez what he looked for in a girl. "I like a girl who's from a modest sort of upbringing, because it's more relatable," he said "I'm a first-generation American. My parents [Elvia and Mario Sr.] emigrated from Mexico and live in the same house I grew up in Chula Vista, Calif. I'd feel weird if the girl was a little too uppity or affluent, because I'm a very down-home kind of guy."
