Jackman was an obvious choice, the multi-talented actor, singer, dancer and
action star is a scruffy stud with a heart of gold.
The actor says wife Deborra-Lee Furness teased him after finding out
he’d been named People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive.”
Recalling Furness’ reaction, Jackman says: “God bless her, she said, `I
could’ve told them that years ago! And then she said, `Obviously Brad (Pitt)
wasn’t available this year.’ And I said, `That was a joke, right?’”
But Furness says his ripped 6′2″ frame is “the Body of Doom — but I like
what’s inside”: a romantic hubby who sings at home and makes breakfast for the
kids.
The magazine’s executive editor, Jess Cagle, said Wednesday on NBC’s “Today”
show that Jackman is a “surprising choice,” but he’d been on the editors’ minds
“for a long time and it seemed like this was the year to do him.”
Cagle pointed out that not only is Jackman’s career at its peak, with the “X-Men” movies and his upcoming epic with Nicole Kidman “Australia,” but he’s “built like a tank.”
