As PEOPLE’s newly crowned Sexiest Man Alive, Hugh Jackman has been inundated with congratulatory phone calls. But when a certain two-time winner got on the line, it was time for some hard-core hazing. “George Clooney rang me at two in the morning,” Jackman told PEOPLE Monday at the Australia premiere in New York City. “I was half asleep and I said to him, ‘Ah, George sweetie, good to hear from you.’ ” But this was not a courtesy call. “He goes, “Shut up, Jackman!’ ” the Aussie actor jokingly recounted. “[He said,] ‘I know what you did! You started this big campaign that’s been going on and [you] took the title away from me.’ ” “I thought that was unnecessary,” Jackman deadpanned.
(ah, Clooney.  you get me every time.)
