Marie Claire News: Hugh Jackman

He's talented, gorgeous, caring and leaves women stammering 'Oh… my… God…' according to his co-star Nicole Kidman – no wonder Hugh Jackman has just bagged the title of sexiest man alive!

The 40-year-old star toppled perennial favourites Brad Pitt and George Clooney to reach the number one spot in People magazine's prestigious poll.

But the star is charmingly unfazed by his sudden sex god status.

'When I was younger, I had chicken legs. My nickname was Sticks!' he laughs.

However, his wife of 12 years, Deborah-Lee Furness, wasn't surprised when Hugh was awarded his new title.

'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?"' he tells People.

The Australian actor also lifts the lid on his sex life, admitting that his wife likes him to stay in costume.

'It makes her feel like she's having an affair in a good way. When we met, I was cast as a prisoner with tattoos and she'd say, "Don't take your tattoos off tonight" and I'd be like, "All right".'

The 6ft 2in star beat British beefcake Daniel Craig into second place (that's one wrestling match we'd like to watch…) and left other hunks including Brad Pitt, Zac Efron and David Beckham standing.

Hugh stars in the new epic film Australia with Nicole Kidman. 'Women's jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room,' she says of her countryman.

One lucky woman who saw a huge amount of Hugh was his daughter's nanny.

'I didn't wear anything to bed until my daughter was born and we had a night nanny because I was working. I walked out stark naked, and she was reading a book. Now I like boxer briefs,' he reveals.

OK. That's it. We’re quitting our jobs and moving to Oz to work as a night nanny!

Other men who made the list include Simon Cowell, George Clooney, Lewis Hamilton, Gordon Ramsay, Sting, Christian Bale, Sting, Bear Gryllis, Matthew McConaughey and Prince Harry.
