Needless to say, next to the frozen Gran, Hugh Jackman on Oprah was extra… ALIVE. A virile, smoldering, real man of a man. Damn!

Thought all night about putting him on the Freebie Five but like Johnny Depp, why would you want Hugh Jackman for just one night? He’s not Freebie Five material. Hugh Jackman is a lifetime of sweat and goodness.

Here he is last night at an event in New York honouring Baz Luhrmann. Baz did well to cast Hugh opposite his ice queen in Australia. Hugh is, without a doubt, by all accounts, the very, very, very best part of the movie. And after yesterday’s Oprah, his odds at the Sexiest Man Alive just improved exponentially, perhaps even OVER Daniel Craig.
