You no doubt love 41-year-old Simon Baker as psychic-medium-turned-profiler Patrick Jane on CBS's hit drama The Mentalist. (We became hooked on the show a few years ago as soon as we heard our favorite Devil Wears Prada hottie was starring in it.) Soon, you'll get to see him in the film Margin Call along with Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, and fellow FFM Penn Badgley. But his acting resume isn't the only reason we we’re dying to chat with him—he also has a damn sexy Australian accent and totally cracks us up.

 

What would you never want to hear a woman say?

I like a foulmouthed woman, so…

 

How did you know your wife was The One?

You know how after a certain period of time, you feel comfortable around someone? That didn't happen with her. She's always kept me on my toes. I still feel like I'm trying to pick her up.

 

What scares the hell out of you?

Power-walking women with big coffee mugs in their hands. They're owning that shit and so caffeinated out of their brains, it's not even funny.

 

Describe the most fearless thing you've done.

I've done a lot of things that make me think, Why the fuck did I do that?—like surfing naked in the middle of the night. But the most fearless was having my first kid. I was unemployed, and my wife and I were just kids ourselves.
