“Dancing With the Stars’” Samantha Harris knows who she wants to be the next celebrity to grace the show’s ballroom floor.

“Hugh Jackman, hands down,” she told People magazine of who she’d like to see become a contestant on her show.

The “Australia” star, and People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive, has a background in song and dance, taking home a 2003 Tony Award for his performance in the Broadway show “The Boy From Oz.”

“He’s a song and dance man. He’s a Broadway guy,” Harris said. “He’s got charisma and you know he can move.”

Harris felt so confident in her pick that she even suggested it to Jackman himself. When she told him, she said: “He actually twirled and dipped me. I was so excited. That made my year.”
