Sexiest Man Alive title backfires on Jackman

Hugh Jackman has experienced nothing but grief from family and friends after he was named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive earlier this month.

The movie star was thrilled and flattered when he heard he'd beaten past winner Brad Pitt and teen hunk Zac Efron to land the coveted title - but those who know him best have quickly brought the Aussie back down to earth.
