He brings them over and asks, 'Dad, can we have a few autographs for the girls? If ever there was any doubt about whether or not people wanted their comic book heroes dark and vulnerable, I think X-Men started this idea, and The Dark Knight last year really confirmed it.
Audiences want to see that, they want to see the superhero's frailties, their doubts, and their battles. My idol was Olivia Newton-John I had her poster and I would kiss it every day.
I met her and told her that He had five kids he was bringing up on his own. If any one deserved a day off it was my old man, but he never did. I learned that from him. When I came out of drama school I was like, 'I'm going to do anything I can just to keep working'.
In drama school you do Shakespeare to movement to circus skills to singing all in one morning. I know a lot of people hated it but I reveled in it.
I loved it. It's weird how it evolved. I can look back on my life, where there have been moments where things might have gone the other way. Everything is like stepping stones, and I've seen people I admire falter. We're all vulnerable. I was at a Warner Bros. Sylvester Stallone was in front of me and [ Clint Eastwood ] was behind me and we were all embarrassingly close.
I turned around before the line went off and said: 'Good day Mr. Eastwood, Hugh Jackman. I went on stage bright red and never looked at him again. Clint has never asked me to be in any of his movies or have an audition. I don't know where some of my awards are, but I can tell you exactly where those cards are.
I treasure them most. You were terrified of that character from the moment he took his shirt off and you saw all the tats; you know he was this coiled spring that would rip your head off, no matter how nonchalant he acted. That's who Wolverine is. The things that I really cherish are the everyday moments, like sitting around cooking pancakes together on Sunday morning, or getting home after a tough day and my kids come up and give me a hug and remind me what's really important.
But Annie [ Anne Hathaway ] brought research to it that went even further than Hugo - about what it meant to be a woman in that time period, what it meant to be a prisoner. When I come home, my daughter will run to the door and give me a big hug, and everything that's happened that day just melts away.
As a teenager I was explosively angry. I think rugby saved me because that's just organized violence. Nine out of 10 characteristics of Wolverine I don't share, but aggression is a primal thing and needs to be exercised in some way.
When I was younger I was very explosive. I used to let most of it out playing rugby. I'm not as explosive now but in a sense it's still there. It's in our DNA So in a way playing Wolverine is good therapy. I don't think - to me, it's not the most interesting thing about a person anyway, but I do get frustrated for Deb, because I see Deb go, 'Ah, this is crazy.
We're the majority now! It's always good to be an Aussie wherever you are Aussies over there they just love them, they love the accent, they want to know everything about you, they really dig the Aussies. It's a good time to be an Aussie, I'm real proud of all the Aussies and real credit to how in Australia we train actors really well, and in general how Aussies will have a go and aren't afraid to pack up and have a crack.
I understand at Marvel they've got The Avengers, they've got a lot of big things going on, but at some point I just find it almost impossible that there's not a way to bring Iron Man, all the Avengers characters, Wolverine, the X-Men characters, Spider-Man, and somehow get them in together. I just heard Oscar, my son who's thirteen, telling a friend, 'Enough about my dad, all right?
The truth is he's nothing like Wolverine. He's not cool, he's not tough, he's nothing like that'. I'm a typical actor. Someone picks me up in the morning, they give me something to wear, tell me what to say, feed me and send me home. Every Friday, if you were in the cadets, the school army - you had to wear the kilt.
It wasn't traditional kilt-wearing: there was underwear involved. Just to clear that up for everybody. The film boasted numerous big-name actors, including Halle Berry , Kate Winslet , Richard Gere and Gerard Butler , but was highly criticized and tanked at the box office.
In , Jackman stepped into the role of the villain, playing the pirate Blackbeard in the Peter Pan-inspired fantasy Pan. Barnum for the film The Greatest Showman.

Jackman's next film, The Front Runner , in which he played disgraced U. He fared better with the warmly received animated feature Missing Link , voicing the lead character alongside Zach Galifianakis and Zoe Saldana. Later that year he teamed with Allison Janney in the true-story-based Bad Education , as the school superintendent behind a massive scandal that shook the community of Rosyln, Long Island. Showing his self-deprecating wit, the actor stated, "I believe this is the 2,th star on the Walk of Fame.
However, apart from Lassie, I'm the only one who's gotten it for playing the same character in 15 movies. They met while making the Australian television series Correlli Jackman has been treated for basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer, and has advocated for prevention and screenings on his social media networks. Hugh Jackman. History Talk 0. Categories Cast Celebrities Actors Male. T Barnum. Universal Conquest Wiki. Hugh Jackman was born on October 12, , the youngest of five Jackman children, and the only one born in Sydney, Australia.
The entire family had moved to Australia from England in , the year before his birth. When Jackman was eight years old his parents divorced. His mother returned to England to live and care for her own mother, who was ill; the job of taking care of the five young Jackmans fell to his father, an accountant.
In interviews, Jackman cannot say enough about the man who devoted himself to his family. Although his mother was not a part of his everyday life, Jackman did travel back and forth between Australia and England for visits.
It was during those visits that he got his first taste of the theater. Jackman loved going to plays with his mother, and he frequently acted in school plays, but he did not consider becoming a professional actor.
Instead he majored in communications at the University of Technology in Sydney, with an eye toward journalism. During his senior year, Jackman found himself a few credits short, so he decided to take a drama class, primarily because his friends told him that he was guaranteed an easy "A.
The class project was to put on a play, and everyone had to take a part. By chance Jackman was cast in the lead, and by the end of the term he was hooked. I think it's also one thing that scares me the most.
After graduating with a bachelor's degree, Jackman realized that he was not truly cut out to be a journalist, so he enrolled at the Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts in Perth to study drama.
The aspiring actor thrived in the experimental environment of the academy, where students were encouraged to work on instinct. As Jackman explained to David Furnish of Interview, "I studied in Perth, where you're totally isolated and in this bubble of creative fire and risk-taking.
When he graduated in , he had no clear expectations for his future. If nothing happens, I'll start my own theater company or whatever I'm not going to spend my whole life waiting for the phone to ring. The story originally focused on Professor Charles Xavier, who scoured the earth to find human beings who had been born with a genetic mutation that gave them each a special power. Xavier's goal was to provide a safe haven for the mutants, who were scorned and feared by society, and to help them harness their potentially dangerous gifts.
The villain in the story was the evil Magneto, who believed that "normal" humans were inferior and had to be punished for their past treatment of mutants. Since then, the series has undergone numerous transformations. Superheroes have been added and subtracted, villains have come and gone, and spin-offs have been created that concentrate on specific characters.
One particularly popular character is Wolverine. He was introduced in an Incredible Hulk comic as a secret agent of the Canadian government who had ultra-super powers. Several months after the Hulk comic was released, Wein was given the task of adding new characters to The X-Men series.
As a result, Wolverine found a permanent home. Wolverine is one of the toughest and most ruthless of the X-Men, and his mutant powers are many. He is incredibly strong and fast, and his keen sense of smell allows him to track almost any living creature.
