Besides Sexhart, is E! Online trying to give Aaron a new nick - Eck-hon? Hmm!

Eckhart's Sweet Nothings on Aniston (source: E! Online - Click for more )

Aaron Eckhart, what a babe, huh? Well, The Dark Knight’s White Knight is just that in real life, so it seems. We asked the chiseled actor what it was like working with gossip girl Jennifer Aniston in their new movie, Traveling, which A.E. himself calls “a total chick flick.” Like Aniston would act (or get cast) in anything else, duh.

Says Eck-hon: “It was wonderful; she was awesome to work with. Good friend, sweet girl, total pro. She has just a heart of gold, and I totally enjoyed the experience.”

Speaking of making movie, Aaron Eckhart just wrapped filming the chick-flick "Traveling" alongside Jennifer Aniston and seemed to be very smitten by the former "Friend."

"Jennifer is a peach, she’s such a wonderful amazing woman to work with," Eckhart gushed. "Her reputation is well justified."

And which other actor surprised us by fawning over Obama's sexiness? Read on to find out...

Aaron Eckhart, that's who!

"The dude has got the looks going on," said Eckhart, a sex symbol in his own right. "I don't know what he is on a 1-to-10 scale...but he's athletic, he's in control, he's charming and he's well-spoken."

I've added more pics to the GQ Men of the Year party so check them out in the gallery.

Aaron Eckhart is attached to star in "Battle: Los Angeles," a sci-fi actioner that Jonathan Liebesman is directing for Columbia. Neal Moritz and his Original Film are producing.

The deal puts the actor front and center on an action movie for the first time. Eckhart had made his name working on less mainstream films, among others starring in "In the Company of Men" and "Thank You for Smoking." He had one of his biggest roles to date in the summer, playing Harvey Dent/Two-Face in "The Dark Knight," the blockbuster that has grossed more than $997 million worldwide.

The story, written by Chris Bertolini, revolves around a Marine platoon's encounter in the battle on the streets of Los Angeles against an alien invasion. Eckhart will play the platoon leader in the film, which has yet to set a start date.

CAA-repped Eckhart next stars opposite Jennifer Aniston in "Traveling."
