He / him

I wish you were as cute as he / him.

I think the correct word is 'he'.

Am I right?

Thanks.

"as he" is said to be formally correct by some people, but it sounds stilted or odd to others, especially in informal use. Hardly anyone says "as he" in everyday English, at least not in my experience. People say "as him" or "as he is".
