Australian Music Star Keith Urban Is One Of The World's Sexiest Men'

Sunday, November 16, 2008

Australian country music star Keith Urban has been named one of the sexiest men alive, but he didn't bend it like international soccer ace David Beckham who topped the hunks' list.

Twenty judges were recruited by Entertainment Television to come up with a list of the world's 25 hottest blokes now deemed the Sexiest Men of the World.

All Black hunk Dan Carter came in at No. 11.

Urban, who once posed nude for Playgirl magazine, came in at a respectable 16, thanks to his virility and versatility.

"He's sort of the guy that came in and saved Nicole and he gave her what she wanted - which was a baby," the Australian judge, Ask Sam's Samantha Brett said.

"He goes from rugged to red carpet in five minutes flat."

"He's always so well put together, he's down to earth and he's sweet."

Kidman has two adopted children with former husband Tom Cruise and had a baby daughter with Urban in July.

The list is one in the series of sexiest lists that have rated cover models, celebrity body parts and pop divas.

Ms Brett, who was recruited to the Los Angeles judging panel, said Beckham was the obvious choice for the number one spot.

"Becks is the ultimate package - he's sporty, he's cute, he has a great fashion sense - he's got the six-pack abs," she said.

"And he's a dad, and so that's the ultimate 'wow' factor for women, I think, seeing a doting father."

Acclaimed US actor Johnny Depp took out second.

"Johnny Depp is the bona fide bad boy and women are addicted to guys that are a bit naughty," Ms Brett said.

"And every girl wants to be the girl to change the bad boy but of course that's never going to happen."
