Hugh Jackman as The Drover in "Australia." Credit: 20th Century Fox

He sings! He dances! He's an X-Man and now..he's a cowboy! He's also People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive! Is there anything super hot hunk Hugh Jackman can't do? In the new sweeping romantic adventure film Australia, hunky Hugh plays The Drover (doncha just luv the mystery? What's his real name anyway?). "Drover" is one of those men's men who can spend months in the outback driving cattle and kicking butt and then roll into town, put on a white dinner jacket and romance a woman with the flair of a superspy! Whoa!

What is refreshing about Mr. Jackman is that he stays humble and grounded no matter what his accomplishments. Hugh was happy to chat about that famous shirtless shower scene that has women from Sydney to Sri Lanka swooning and reveals how pleased he was to get to kiss a gal tall enough to meet his eyes (Nicole Kidman is 5'10" at least). We discussed how he learned to tame and ride a horse to play Drover and got a tidbit on his upcoming role in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. We wanted to know what Hugh does to train for action roles and just how much he's learned about himself from being a dad. Picture the actor in grey polo shirt that showed off his awesome physique, black slacks and the usual shadow beard... sigh. First things first. How does Hugh feel about being named the Sexiest Man Alive?
