Ten Reasons Why I Love Hugh Jackman
People magazine finally gets it right with their Sexiest Man Alive issue. Now personally, I've been repeatedly disappointed with their choices over the years, which always seemed just a tad bit cliché. There is a bit of a debate around the Access Hollywood trailers this morning though. Some of the naysayers around here don't agree that Hugh Jackman really is the Sexiest Man. So, since this is a man who truly makes me giddy (sorry to my new "fiancé" Rob Pattinson) I feel I must defend his honor with my Top Ten reasons for loving him.
#10 - He man-scapes
There is nothing wrong with a guy who likes to groom and Hugh admits his love for Lancer Rx Repair moisturizer and a hair product called Easy Rider to People magazine. You can still be a man and be metrosexual.
#9 - He sings, dances and is still secure in his manhood
He played Peter Allen on Broadway in "The Boy From Oz" which sparked rumors that he, like Allen, was gay. And he took it all in stride. His wife tells People, that during performances, she used to overhear gay men saying, "Is he or isn't he?" She was always quick to correct them.
#8 - He's a cute daddy
You can always count on the tabloid magazines to capture a photo of Hugh doing something fun with son Oscar and daughter Ava. His wife told People magazine he likes to make them pancakes in the morning for breakfast. Yummy.
#7 - He gives great interviews
Hugh knows what we want to hear and doesn't self edit.
#6 - He appreciates his fans
At this years Comic-Con convention he flew all the way from Australia to surprise 6,000 plus fans with new footage of his upcoming "X-Men" spin-off, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"
When I interviewed him at Comic-Con I could not contain my utter giddiness around him. He asked me my name to which I replied, "Laura." "Lore-rah or Lar-ah?" he asked. Like a love sick puppy I reply, "Baby you can call me anything you want!" His playful response: "Good to see you Stephanie."
#4 - He's got a hot body
Enough said.
#3 - He's drop dead gorgeous
The green eyes, the scruff, that hair. I'm hooked.
#2 - He's married to an older woman
As someone who has been of late appreciated by a slew of younger men, I love a man who realizes that age is just a number and not a state of mind.
#1 - He's Australian
Yes, I'll admit it -- I am mostly just a sucker for that darn accent.
Hugh Jackman is gorgeous--tall, dark, and handsome. I love that he's so affectionate with his family.
