Nicki Swift’s readers aren’t shy about picking sides in the Taylor Kinney vs. Jesse Spencer hunk-off. Of the nearly 200 fans polled on Facebook, a vast majority were all about Taylor Kinney’s smoldering portrayal of Kelly Severide. Talk about a clear win for Team Severide!
“Of course my favorite is Taylor Kinney,” replied one fan. Another wrote, “Severide by far.” And though several fans cited both Kinney and Spencer as their favorite, even those responses skewed toward Kinney’s favor. “Love them both. But I love my Severide,” said another fan. “I love them both, but if I had to pick I would pick Taylor,” commented another user. Sorry, Spencer, but Kinney’s favor is unmistakable.

Naturally, People included Kinney (and his “Chicago Fire” co-star Joe Minoso) in its 2022 Sexiest Men Alive round-up. During an interview with the publication, Minoso — who plays Joe Cruz — shared a hilariously fitting tidbit about how Kinney affects their crew. “All of the people on [“Chicago P.D.”], when they say Taylor’s character’s name, they have to say it with a sexy voice,” said Minoso. The actor then put on his best sultry voice. “Like everyone says, ‘Severide.’ Everyone slows down for a quick beat … ‘Is Severide on set?’ That’s how it is.” Kinney agreed. “You know why, ’cause we’re sexy,” Kinney added. However, Minoso wasn’t convinced. “They don’t slow down and get all quiet for Cruz.”
