Hugh Jackman Talks Trash About His Sexy Ways

The actor talks about the secret of his Sexiest Man award

Hugh Jackman may be People's Sexiest Man alive, but the Australia star says his wife knows the secret of his sexiness: Garbage.

"Previously, my wife had said the sexiest thing about me was that I took the garbage out," Jackman told E! News days after receiving the honor.

"Since [being named Sexiest Man], it's like, 'All right, baby. Show it to me. Let's go.' I seem to be asked to take out the garbage more."

That sounds a little too grounded—or just kind of dirty—for our taste. But at least Wolverine can count on remaining a superhero to his kids, right?

Not so much.

"My son, Oscar, who is 8, goes, ‘You? You've got to be kidding me!' And I thought, There's the truth!"

Come on, Hugh. Now that's a load of garbage.
