Former ER star upset he lost out in People poll

Thursday, 27 November 2008

George Clooney has been making cheeky late-night phone calls to Hugh Jackman.

The X-Men star was recently crowned the Sexiest Man Alive in a People Magazine poll.

But 2-time winner George, 47, wasn’t happy about losing his title.  

George Clooney rang me at 2 in the morning,’ says Hugh. ‘I was half asleep and I said to him: “Ah, George sweetie, good to hear from you.”

'He goes: “Shut up, Jackman! I know what you did! You started this big campaign that's been going on and you took the title away from me.”’

Hugh, 40, has also been given a hard time about the accolade from his dad Chris.

‘My father found it really uncomfortable. He said: “I can't really talk to you about being sexy. It's a little weird.”

'Mind you, I'm still waiting for the birds and the bees pitch from him. That hasn't happened either.’
