People's "Sexiest Man Alive": Hugh Jackman

Magazine Announces This Year's Choice On The Early Show

(CBS)  People magazine has ended the suspense and announced its choice for this year's "Sexiest Man Alive": Aussie star Hugh Jackman.

"You can't go wrong" with Jackman, People.com On-Air Correspondent Michelle Beadle told Early Show co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez after revealing the selection. "He's Australian, first of all. He's adorable. He's got one of the best bodies ever. And he's a family man. We all love that. He doesn't -- he's not on the party scene. He loves his kids, he loves his wife. He likes to stay home and make pancakes. He's almost too perfect!"

Jackman and his wife of 20-plus years are "a very romantic couple," Beadle added.

"He has so much going for him," Beadle told CBS News. "He's a triple threat. Singer, dancer and actor."

This is the first time Jackman is People's "Sexiest Man Alive," but he's been in the issue before, in 2006. He replaces last year's choice, Matt Damon.

Brad Pitt and George Clooney have both won twice, the most anyone has.

Who''''s he and why should I care? - Posted by ThatGuy56

What planet moons have you guys been on? Not only is Hugh Jackman charismatic, good-looking, loyal to his fans, he''s also a fantastic actor. And after having seen AUSTRALIA last night, the title of S-EXIEST MAN ALIVE just doesn''t do him justice.

Some people need new role models. And a new life.

I swear I dreamt about Hugh Jackman the other night, after getting bombarded with ads for "Australia." He''s got such charisma, can act up a storm and I wouldn''t kick him out of bed for eating crackers either!

Yawn, America, you''''re headed down the toilet and this is all you can dream about?

That''s what I been going for my entire life, not too muscular, nor am I skinny. Yet, I was passed over once again. Politics...

[honestabe8]

*** it, I lost again...

[displeased]

I mean, really, pancakes are good but they''re not perfect. Now if he could whip out a tray of homemade lasagna or a coconut cream pie...then I could understand why the ladies would drool.

And what''s wrong with a little partying?

[likeitis5050]

He is.

[displeased]

I don''t find making pancakes sexxy. And why does making pancakes fulfill perfection?
