Good Hang with Amy Poehler

Noah Wyle may is the Sexiest Man Alive ... but Eddie Murphy apparently didn't think he was all that special as a kid ... telling the future star to "f*** off" when he asked for an autograph.

"The Pitt" actor recalled the savage snub during this week's episode of "Good Hang with Amy Poehler" ... revealing he was just 9 years old when he approached Eddie and told him how much he loved watching him on "Saturday Night Live."

Eddie's first response? "What are you doing up that late?" ... but when Noah pressed him for an autograph, the comedian allegedly fired back, "F*** off, man."

Ouch ... that'll stick with a kid.

Noah Wyle was "incredulous" when he first heard he was PEOPLE's 2026 Sexiest Man Alive -- but that's only because he never believed for a minute that he'd win the title!

That's right ... Noah tells the publication he thought it was all just a prank and he would never wear the crown. But that's all changed now that he's officially the big winner, and he says it's all thanks to his wife, Sara, who drove home the point that he was "sexiest man" material.

As Noah puts it ... Sara "thinks I'm a good guy and that the kind of person that I am and the kind of father I am, the kind of husband I am, is worth promoting."
