George Clooney has been named to the Sexiest Man alive distinction two times in the past. Back in 1997 and in 2006, so he felt that a little hazing was in store for Hugh Jackman who nabbed the title this year.
Apparently, Clooney called Jackman at 2 AM in New York and started right in on him. You see he wanted some advice about wood flooring.
“George Clooney rang me at two in the morning,” Jackman told People magazine Monday at the “Australia” premiere in New York.
“I was half asleep and I said to him, ‘Ah, George sweetie, good to hear from you.’ He goes, ‘Shut up, Jackman!’’’ the Aussie actor recounted with a laugh.
”[He said,] ‘I know what you did! You started this big campaign that’s been going on and [you] took the title away from me,’” Jackman continued.
“I thought that was unnecessary,” he reportedly deadpanned.
Jackman also said that his father is a little uncomfortable with the new title.
“My old man traveled over with me and we landed in America … and all of sudden we were stopped at the airport and saw the Sexiest Man Alive magazine and everyone is talking about it,” Jackman told the mag. “My father found it really uncomfortable.
”[My dad] said to me, ‘I can’t really talk to you about being sexy. It’s a little weird,’ " he added. “Mind you, I’m still waiting for the birds and the bees pitch from him. That hasn’t happened either!”
