Hugh Jackman. Just the name alone is enough to make women scratch their heads, check IMDb, realise who he is and then go weak at the knees.
It must be true, because Hugh Jackman has just been named as People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive. We know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “But wasn’t Matt Damon named the sexiest man alive by People magazine last year?” And the answer is yes. Yes he was. But following Matt Damon’s tragic death before the release of The Dark Knight this year, it’s time to pick a new Sexiest Man Alive. And that man is Hugh Jac… wait, we were thinking of Heath Ledger weren’t we? Whoops.
Anyway, why is Hugh Jackman People’s Sexiest Man Alive? Because he’s got a film out, that’s why. Any other reasons? Probably not, no.
People‘s Sexiest Man Of The Year award has become a proud tradition in recent years – a proud tradition where the list is published on the internet and we look through it as fast as we can before angrily punching stuff because we’re not in the top 15 even though both Zack Morris from Saved By The Bell and Michael Phelps are, despite Michael Phelps having a face that objectively looks like a spatchcock.
But anyway, bitterness aside, it would appear that 2008 would be a good year to be Hugh Jackman. For, having wrestled the mantle from Matt Damon and George Clooney and Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Jackman has been named as the Sexiest Man Alive. And here’s People magazine’s gushing description of Jackman, just to make all the men in the world understand as clearly as possible that they’re gruesome uggos compared to him:
At 6-foot-2, all scruff and biceps, Hugh Jackman looms large in the epic “Australia,” which he says kept him “dirty 95 percent of the time” and left people stammering, “Oh … my … God,” according to costar Nicole Kidman, who adds, “Women’s jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room.”
Well, not all women’s jaws, obviously – thanks to all the Botox that she looks like she’s had, the only way that Nicole Kidman can drop her jaw these days is with the aid of a hairdryer and a mechanical jack – but that’s beside the point.
Of course Hugh Jackman is the sexiest man alive. Who can forget his sexy magnetism in the X-Men movies and, um, you know, his other films. Like, oh, you know, that film about the magician. And the film where Halle Berry took her top off. And, oh, the film about the rats in the toilet! He was good in that.
And we’re certain that Hugh Jackman will be good in that Australia film that’s coming out. You know, that new film that was plagued by early casting and filming difficulties and that’s been getting some bad early reviews lately and would probably do anything to get some decent publicity, even getting their star named in a magazine’s pointless list of sexy actors.
Yeah, we’re sure he’s great in that.
And, yes, it’s bitterness. Shh.

A tad jealous, are we? Hugh IS the sexiest man alive.
He may not be well known to you, but plenty of people are fully aware of his long standing career. A man of many talents who just happens to be a lovely man with a smokin’ hot bod and killer smile.
Love you, Hugh!!

Seriously though, that’s the worst ‘sexiest men’ list of all time!

Ohhhh yessss… it’s bitterness, indeed!
he’s a terrific actor and an handsome man and seems to be a down to earth person, and actually the sexiest man alive!
about his movies: yes, you know, “that film about the magician” is the touching “The prestige”. A good movie, watch it if you can.
And “the film where Halle Berry took her top off” is “Swordfish”, a good action movie with a terrific John Travolta and an impressive Hugh Jackman.
Then, you forgot “Scoop”, a movie in wich he acted with a director called… ehm, wait… you know, a certain… Woody Allen…
Do you know him? I bet you do.
