Well this is no surprise! Gorgeous Hugh Jackman was named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2008. The announcement comes just as the 40-year-old happily married Aussie is set to thrill us with his new epic film, “Australia,” which will hit theaters in the US on Nov 26.

When asked what his wife’s response was to being named the Sexiest Man, Jackman said: “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?”
