  • he's definitely one of the sexiest male celebrities out there. this isnt the best picture of him but i would do crazy stuff with him. and the fact that his sexual orientation is seriously being questioned is just a plus for me considering im a dude.

  • Hugh Jackman is NOT the 'Sexiest Man Alive' - who does the voting?? I'd like to know who makes this decision - they really aren't doing a very good job. I"m not saying he's not good looking but he's far from being the 'sexiest man alive'.
