Jackman: 'My wife thinks Pitt is sexier'

Hugh Jackman has revealed that his wife thinks Brad Pitt is sexier than him.

The Australia star, who was recently crowned Sexiest Man Alive by People, joked that wife Deborra thinks Pitt should have taken the honour.

"First thing Deb said was, 'I knew it! I knew I'd married the sexiest man alive!'" he told Entertainmentwise. "Second was a genuine question about the process of how it's chosen.

"She said, 'So is it readers? Editors? Votes?' and I said, 'Well I think it's the editors, there's a think tank who get together and go through photos, and they decide'. She replied, 'So anyone can get it... and Brad Pitt didn't get it?'"

Australia is released today.
