Hugh Jackman is People's Sexiest Man Alive for 2008

People Magazine has named Australia star Hugh Jackman as Sexiest Man Alive for 2008.

This is the first time that Jackman has been given the title and he succeeded 2007's sexiest Matt Damon.

People describes Jackman as a romantic in a hard body who leaves women saying "Oh ... my ... God". He's a triple threat: a star who can sing, dance and wield a weapon.
