People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive

He's a triple threat: a star who can sing, dance and wield a weapon. At 6 ft. 2 in., all scruff and biceps, Jackman, 40, looms large in the epic Australia, and left people stammering, 'Oh...my...God,' according to costar Nicole Kidman. 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 kids Oscar, 8, and Ava, 3.

Explaining their choice, the magazine wrote: “He's a triple threat - a star who can sing, dance and wield a weapon. At 6ft 2in, all scruff and biceps, Jackman, 40, looms large in the epic Australia and left people stammering, ‘Oh… my... God!’ according to co-star Nicole Kidman.”

Quantum of Solace actor Daniel Craig – who reprised his role as British spy James Bond in the new film – was close behind Hugh in second place, having wowed female fans in the movie with his muscular body and striking blue eyes.

Jon Hamm – the star of hit US TV show ‘Mad Men’ – came in third, while High School Musical heartthrob Zac Efron and Lipstick Jungle hunk Robert Buckley rounded off the top five.
