What makes a man sexy in 2008?
Well, according to PEOPLE Magazine, it's a man who can sing, dance and wield a weapon. That must be why the magazine chose hunky Aussie Hugh Jackman for Sexiest Man Alive in 2008.
Jackman, 40, boasts a versatile resume. He's appeared on Broadway in several musicals, but is most well-known as the brooding and mysterious 'Wolvarine' in the "X-Men" film franchise.
Jackman will appear in the upcoming Baz Luhrmann epic "Australia," with co-star and fellow Australia native Nicole Kidman.
Other famous faces that made PEOPLE's list were "Mad Men" actor Jon Hamm, "High School Musical" heart-throb Zac Efron and suave Brit and newest 'Bond,' Daniel Craig.
