Washington, Dec 19: Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman has revealed that his wife couldn't believe he had been voted as the `world's sexiest man alive'.

The `X-Men' actor revealed that Deborra-Lee Furness was very skeptical of his victory.

"The very first things Debs said was: ''I knew it! I knew I''d marry the sexiest man alive!" Contactmusic quoted Jackman, as saying.

"The second was a genuine asking of the process, and how it''s chosen. ''Is it readers, is it votes, is the editors?'' she asked. I said: ''I think it''s the editors and a think tank, and they get together, throw up photos and work out whose publicist they''re on good terms with, and they decide!" he added.

"And she said: ''So anyone could get it?'' I replied that they could. And she said: ''And Brad Pitt didn''t get it?!" Jackman revealed on a press conference.

"He''s a triple threat: a star who can sing, dance and wield a weapon," People magazine explained in naming Jackman the Sexiest Man Alive. (ANI)
