Yesterday I watched this new Baz Luhrmann situation, Australia, which wants to be a grand, sweeping, old-fashioned movie classic, but certainly is not. I'll be writing about it more extensively in next week's paper.

However! Right now I would like to expound upon one Hugh Jackman, our reigning Sexiest Man Alive.

Hugh Jackman is weird-looking. He has a tiny head.

Let me back up. Sometimes Hugh Jackman, who is 6'2" tall, IS the sexiest man alive.

SEE!? Specifically, during the parts of Australia in which dirty filthy Jackman, covered in scruff and grime, rides around on a horse, gets into bar fights, and generally gets shit handled while Nicole "Show Me Some Documentation That Proves I Am Not A Sophisticated Robot" Kidman pouts stiffly in the corner.

But THEN, just before Jackman and Kidman finally consummate their dirty filthy outback desires, he turns into THIS pink, powdered, awkward thing:

WEIRD-LOOKING.
TINY HEAD.

It's like somehow his beard allows his head to appear normal-sized. Or something. What is going on here!?

Last night, after watching Australia, I had a dream (too brief) about a man who looked exactly like this:

And in my dream, this man did not have a head. BECAUSE THIS MAN WAS HUGH JACKMAN.

And Hugh Jackman's head is WEIRD:

It is extremely disconcerting to watch the sexiest man alive suddenly transform into the unsexiest man alive. Hugh Jackman, please never shave your beard again.

Love,
Lindy
