He was voted The Sexiest Man in Hollywood for the past two years. His fans call him Jaxy. [b]Age[/b] 33 [b]Place of Birth[/b] Monroe, Louisiana [b]Occupation[/b] Personal Trainer & Actor. He was formerly a UFC fighter and had a short career as a wrestler in the WWE. He recently left the NFL. [b]Personality/History[/b] Jackson was born to a family of fitness freaks, though it was only expected. They were all professional fighters and athletes. Jackson was raised around the entertainment business and frequently met actors though he had never tried it himself. He started in the UFC when he was 18, a rare and almost unheard of accomplishment. But he had great connections, determination, and he was a killer in the cage. He quickly grew popular among fight fans and the ladies, of course. He was kicked out of the UFC when he was twenty-four for being too rough after putting a man in a coma during a fight. There were a lot of rumors surrounding the incident before he went on record and said that he had let his emotions get the best of him during the fight, his opponent having previously abused his younger sister before leaving her. Charges were filed, though he only spent two years in prison, something that many people weren't happy about. He has admitted that he feels no shame for what he did and if he had the chance, he'd kill the man and gladly go to jail for it. With the UFC not wanting to take him back, his older brother got him a gig as a WWE fighter on Raw. Which is where he fell in love with acting. He loved creating a stage persona and making people happy. He stepped down from the WWE for a while after the stress of drama became too much after a short three years, taking to the NFL as a linebacker for the New Orleans Saints. During that time, he auditioned for a role on True Blood's third season and landed a recurring major role that gained him a lot more publicity and popularity. Between the ages of 25 and now, he has remained a titular character on the award winning show and has landed a few other roles in popular movies, recently starring in [u]Don't Look Under the Bed[/u]. He left the NFL two years ago and now declares himself as a personal trainer when he isn't working on set. [Hider=Extra] -He hates when strangers treat him like they're best friends. It's something that he has been criticized for after gently reprimanding a fan for calling him Jax instead of Mr. Babineaux or even Jackson. He appreciates his fans and lets them know that but he discourages them from forming unhealthy attachments and obsessions with him because it freaks him out. This stems from an experience where a fan had one a date with him and spent the entire evening talking about everything she loved about him and she happened to know things about him that strangers really shouldn't know. It bothers him. -He really is a very laid back guy after you get to know him and is very fun to be around. He just doesn't like getting "best friend personal" with complete strangers. He'll gladly stop for pictures and autographs if he isn't doing something important and often goes out just for the benefit of the fans. -He has several dogs and cats rescued from shelters and the streets and is currently the face of the ASPCA alongside a few other celebrities. -During his UFC career he was undefeated in all of his matches and held the Bantamweight, Welterweight, and Heavyweight belts. (36-0) -During his NFL career he was known to be a dirty player and has had the most flags pulled on him. -During his WWE career he held the Tag Team Championship belt with Randy Orton and was the Intercontinental Champion. -He was offered to take on The Undertaker at Wrestlemania but he declined, saying that he was not worthy to step into the ring against such a legend.
