He's Australian, multi-talented (he sings, dances, and can play a comic book superhero), has a good sense of humor, and a helluva body. And now the 40 year old Hugh Jackman can add winning the title of 'Sexiest Man Alive' to his list of accomplishments. Jackman, who'll next be seen in Baz Luhrmann's Australia, has - finally - won People magazine's annual honor, taking over the crown from 2007's sexiest man: Matt Damon.

Also Making the Cut:

Daniel Craig
John Hamm
Zac Efron
Robert Buckley
Blair Underwood
Ed Westwick
Michael Phelps
Blake Shelton
Lang Lang
Mark-Paul Gosselaar
Javier Bardem
Robert Pattinson
Joshua Jackson
David Beckham

Apparently Damon, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Johnny Depp are no longer sexy...
