While Hugh Jackman clocked in at #1, the #2 ranked man in the Sexiest Man Alive list was Daniel Craig, #3 was Jon Hamm, and #4 was Zac Efron.
Give me a break, Zac Efron? His biggest claim to fame, besides the High School Musical movies, is the nude pic by his girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens. That lands him in the Sexiest Man Alive list with Hugh Jackman?
Anyway, back to Hugh Jackman.
According to Elizabeth Sporkin, executive editor at People:
"Hugh Jackman is the real package -- humble, romantic, drop-dead gorgeous and a star of the moment. He is so much more than his movies -- that's sexy."
While Jackman joins the ranks of Matt Damon (2007's pick), George Clooney and Matthew McConaughey, People Magazine says he is different than the rest.
Sporkin added:
"Brad is unattainably sexy, George is brainy-suave, Matt is boy-next-door sexy, and Hugh's sex appeal is the fact that he is gritty, has a great accent, and is physical."
And before anyone gets any ideas, Jackman, 6'2" and 40 years old, is married to Deborra-Lee Furness, an actress. And they've been married for 20 years, and according to People, he still sings romantic ballads to her.
Deborra-Lee Furness is currently filming the the movie Blessed, while Jackman's latest film, Australia, debuts next week. Jackman is best known for his role as Wolverine in the X-Men movies, and has won a Tony Award for his performance in "The Boy from Oz."
Watch the trailer for Australia.

Hugh Jackman
You've finally seen what I've thought for years. He's finally the "Sexiest Man Alive". He's more than his looks, definitely. He's so talented and such a family man (from all that I've read, obviously). I've seen just about everything he's ever done and he's great at his craft. Though I don't know how Deborah deals with all the intimate scenes that Hugh does. Congratulations!!!
