Hugh Jackman has topped People Magazine’s annual list of the “Sexiest Men Alive.” The Australia star edged out sixteen equally handsome entertainer staples, including actors Blair Underwood and Zac Efron, to steal the coveated title.

At 6 ft. 2 in., all scruff and biceps, Hugh Jackman looms large in the epic Australia, which he says kept him “dirty 95 percent of the time” and left people stammering, “Oh … my … God,” according to costar Nicole Kidman, who adds, “Women’s jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room.”
