Jackman Named 'Sexiest Man'

Aussie heartthrob Hugh Jackman has been named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive for 2008. The star of the forthcoming epic Australia, who recently turned 40, is married to fellow Aussie actress Deborra-Lee Furness, with whom he has two children, Oscar, 8, and Ava, 3. Furness calls her hubby's form "the Body of Doom – but I like what's inside." What did she say when learning of her husband's honor? "God bless her, she said, 'I could've told them that years ago!'" Jackman tells the magazine. "'Obviously, Brad wasn't available this year.' And I said, 'That was a joke, right?'" (Photo: WENN)
