NEW YORK - Hugh Jackman says wife Deborra-Lee Furness teased him after finding out he’d been named People magazine’s "Sexiest Man Alive."

Recalling Furness’ reaction, Jackman says: "God bless her, she said, ’I could’ve told them that years ago! And then she said, ’Obviously Brad (Pitt) wasn’t available this year.’ And I said, ’That was a joke, right?’"
