from the New York Post:
The Sexiest Man AlivePosted by Jarett Wieselman at 9:55 AM on November 19, 2008
Yes, yes! I agree, I agree! People Magazine has dubbed
Hugh Jackman 2008's Sexiest Man Alive -- I mean, he's been equally sexy for the past five years, but I guess timing-wise he didn't have a sweeping romantic movie coming out that needed a little extra oomph.
"Women's jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room," his "Australia" co-star Nicole Kidman tells the mag, possible due to the two physical features he claims people like the most. "My smile," Hugh says, before adding, "lately my pecs. I'm being honest!"
But there is also something to be said about seeing Hugh play the part of doting dad to his two children Oscar and Ava. But if Hugh is the Sexiest Man Alive, then his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, would technically be the luckiest woman alive, even if she refuses to let all the attention go to his head. Hugh tells the mag, "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?'"

Speeding his way into the second slot is
Daniel Craig, who became an overnight sex symbol after "Casino Royale" even though many of us first became aware of his animal magnetism way back in 2001 when he emerged from Lara Croft's shower in "Tomb Raider."
Jon Hamm, one of GQ's Men of the Year, is also taking a top spot on this list as well thanks to his sexy swagger and way with a cigarette as Don Draper in "Mad Men." Next up for Jon, a role in December's sci-fi remake, "The Day The Earth Stood Still."
I love that one of the Sexiest Men Alive is technically a boy - but for some reason this kid's appeal transcends age and gave an army of older ladies a younger lad to lust after. And it's not just
Zac Efron's fan base that's getting older, his style is becoming more sophisticated, too. "There's something timeless about suits. A few years ago I didn't own a single one. Now I've got a small collection going."
Star of the questionably canceled "Lipstick Jungle"
Robert Buckley rounds out the top 5 thanks to his oft shirtless romancing of leading lady Kim Raver. Not only does he bring an innate sexuality to Kirby, but he plays the photographer as a hopeless romantic, for whom age is just a number. Something he aims to re-prove when he sweeps Heather Locklear off her feet in "Flirting with Forty."
The rest of the list breaks down like this:
#6. Blair Underwood
#7. "Gossip Girl's" Ed Westwick
#8. Michael Phelps
#9. Country singer Blake Shelton
#10. Classical performer Lang Lang
#11. Mark-Paul Gosselaar
#12. Javier Bardem
#13. Robert Pattinson
#14. Josh Jackson
#15. David Beckham
