G’day! Hugh Jackman is new Sexiest Man Alive
A romantic in a hard body, the Aussie star leaves women saying ‘Oh my’
PEOPLE.com
updated 9:14 a.m. ET, Wed., Nov. 19, 2008
He's a triple threat: a star who can sing, dance and wield a weapon.
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."
Jackman's wife of 12 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, calls his perfect form “the Body of Doom — but I like what's inside”: a romantic who sings ballads at home and makes pancakes for Oscar, 8, and Ava, 3. A hard body with a soft center — 2008's Sexiest Man Alive sat down with PEOPLE to reveal most of his secrets.
“You turned 40 Oct. 12 and now you're the Sexiest Man Alive. What was your wife's response?”
God bless her, she said, “I could've told them that years ago!” And then she said, “Obviously, Brad wasn't available this year.” And I said, “That was a joke, right?”
“Your marriage is a success story.”
In my early 20s, I didn't have a regular girlfriend. I was single and really happy about it. And then when I was 26, I met Deb on (the Australian TV show) “Correlli.” She was my leading lady. It was just undeniable. I started planning to propose to her at about three months. We are happy. Deb and my kids have been the best things that have ever happened to me, without a doubt.
“How do you keep the passion alive?”
It's easy with my wife. She loves the idea of me coming home in costume because it makes her feel like she's having an affair in a good way. When we met, I was cast as a prisoner with tattoos and she'd say, “Don't take your tattoos off tonight!” and I'd be like, “All right!” But what works best with her is the stockbroker look. She also says, “Do your sexy dance for me,” (an '80s-like, hip-swiveling number) and that works for me.
“Are you self-conscious about any body part?”
When I was younger, I had chicken legs. My nickname was Sticks.
“What part do people like best?”
My smile. Lately my pecs. I'm being honest!
“What do you wear to bed?”
I didn't wear anything until my daughter was born and we had a night nanny because I was working. I walked out stark naked, and she was reading a book. Now I like boxer briefs.

I can't believe that someone would be so cynical to suggest that Hugh only won this esteemed honor because he has a new movie coming out! Humphf!
Hugh Jackman Wins People's 'Sexiest Man Alive' Title
By Robert Dougherty
The title of "Sexiest Man Alive" is one created by People Magazine, in a fake honor they hand out every year. The Sexiest Man Alive title is usually fought among the same old contenders in Hollywood. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matthew McConaughey, Matt Damon and more of their hunky friends are usually right at the top.
But this year, a new contender broke through the sexy ranks, according to People Magazine. Coincidentally, it came just as the new Sexiest Man Alive is about to be seen in a new epic film.
Hugh Jackman received the honor of People's Sexiest Man Alive in this week's new People issue. Jackman has been on the A list in both movies and the theater for most of the decade, but finally breaks through in the sexy categories this year.
Jackman got the Sexiest Man Alive title just before his new film Australia hits theaters. Director Baz Luhrmann cast Jackman as a 1940s Outback drover who gets entangled in romance with Nicole Kidman's English land owner, just before World War II breaks out.
After being tinkered with up to the last minute by Luhrmann, Australia will finally be released next week, having just premiered in the real Australia this week.
Jackman has numerous shirtless scenes and fight scenes that made Oprah Winfrey and her audience swoon when they discussed Australia last week. Now, in anticipation of more swooning from audiences nationwide, Jackman was officially honored for his sexiness by People.
Jackman first entranced people with his theater work, then made it big as a gruffer sex symbol, Wolverine in the X-Men films. Jackman won numerous theatrical awards a few years later as Peter Allen in the musical The Boy From Oz, and has hosted the Tony Awards. Next summer, Jackman will star in his own X-Men spinoff as Wolverine.
A few rumors have spread over the years questioning Jackman's sexuality, especially after playing the gay Peter Allen on stage. But Jackman's attractiveness seems to be under a lot less doubt now.
For over 20 years, People has honored the sexiest men alive, with Mel Gibson as the first winner in 1985. George Clooney and Brad Pitt have won it twice, with other recent winners being McConaughey, Damon, Jude Law, Johnny Depp, Ben Affleck and Richard Gere. People even gave the honor to Nick Nolte in 1992.
