Matt Damon was voted #2 on AskMen’s Top 49 Men 2007 edition, runner-up only to soccer star David Beckham.

Matt has gone from an obscure actor to a Hollywood golden boy in just a few of years. He became an instant star when he co-wrote and starred in “Good Will Hunting” with his longtime friend, Ben Affleck.  Matt won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar and it’s been a rocket ride ever since.

Matt Damon was born in the Cambridge area of Boston. Matt Damon has starred in a variety of hit Hollywood movies including The Talented Mr Ripley, Ocean’s Eleven, The Brother’s Grimm, and The Bourne Identity.

“Success is not something I’ve wrapped my brain around. If people go to those movies, then yes, that’s true, big-time success. If not, it’s much ado about nothing.”When Damon was asked about dealing with fame, “I think you can control the effect that fame has on your life by the way you choose to live … Not dating a celebrity is big.”The Bourne Identity trilogy has had tremendous success.  When Matt was asked what’s next, he jokingly replied, “Bourne the musical. That was my suggestion. I think you have to kind of change the genre. It’s either got to be porn or a musical to re-ignite the franchise.”

“Right before The Bourne Identity came out, I hadn’t been offered a movie in a year. Because The Legend of Bagger Vance had come out and bombed and All the Pretty Horses had come out and bombed.”

Matt does worry about being typecast. “I never wanted to do the same kind of movies over and over anyway, so my theory on it all is I’m just gonna try and dodge the label and keep doing what I am doing.”

People magazine’s executive editor, Jess Cagle, said Wednesday on NBC’s “Today” show that Jackman is a “surprising choice,” but he’d been on the editors’ minds “for a long time and it seemed like this was the year to do him.”

Hugh will take the “Sexiest Man Alive” throne away from last year’s winner – Matt Damon.

Jackman is a native of Sydney Australia and made a splash in a high school production of “My Fair Lady”. In 1998, he got raves as the lead in a London production of “Oklahoma”.

Next, Hugh Jackman will star In the highly anticipated upcoming movie “Australia”. Co-star Nicole Kidman says the 6-foot-2 actor was s hot on the movie set that he “left people stammering. Women’s jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room.”

Jackman is a happily married man and had this to say about is family, “Deb (Deborra-Lee Furness) and my kids (Oscar Maximillian – 8, and Eva Elio – 3) have been the best things that have ever happened to me, without a doubt.”
