The sex symbol tag does not sit easily with Simon Baker.

The 41-year-old actor, named by TV Guide as the Sexiest Man Alive, has admitted that he has some reservations about the label.

‘The older you get, the heavier things become to lift,’ he explained to the Daily Telegraph.

‘So it just gets a little heavier to drag around, that’s all, mate.’

How does his 17-year-old daughter Stella feel about his hunk status?

‘She understands how the whole machine works. She knows it wasn’t me who came up with the tag,’ Baker said. [source]
