Australian actor Hugh Jackman has only made a handful of movies but roles such as Wolverine in the X-Men movies have propelled him up the Hollywood ladder to A-list status
Hugh Jackman's role as Wolverine in the X-Men films has made him one of Hollywood's biggest stars. His Aussie good looks and charm have won him an army of female fans. He hasn't had too much success outside of the X-Men movies but he'll still have plenty more bites at the cherry.
Hugh Michael Jackman was born in Sydney, Australia on October 12th 1968. After graduating with a journalism degree from the University of Technology Sydney, he decided to become an actor and joined the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. His decision was immediately...
1. The midnight underwear scene in Someone Like You (2001) or Animal Attraction as it's sometimes know. Rarely has a man looked so good in a pair of tight boxer shorts.
2. Whenever he's onscreen as Wolverine in the X-Men movies. He may be hairy but just imagine what he would be like in the bedroom
3. His scenes with Halle Berry in the movie Swordfish (2001). You just get the feeling Hugh was more than happy to be the object of her character's flirtatiousness.
Three Things You Never Knew
1. Hugh has terrible eye sight and can barely focus on anything without contact lenses.
2. He wasn't first choice for the part of Wolverine in X-Men. The Scottish actor Dougray Scott had agreed to the role but had to pull out due to his previous film, Mission: Impossible II, wrapping two months late. How things could have been different for both men.
3. He has two adopted children, Oscar Maximillian Jackman and Ava Eliot Jackman.
