Hugh Jackman was born on 12 October 1968 in Sydney Australia from English parents. And just when you thought he was just another "air-head" actor, you discover that Jackman has a Communications degree with a journalism major from the University of Technology Sydney! Beat that Magnito! (BA English Drama)
Of course Jackman is best known as Wolverine in the X-Men movies. But he also did great in other pictures like: Van Helsing (2004),where he played the Vampire- Ass-kicker and also in Kate & Leopold (2001) where he played the aristocratic gentleman Leopold. Not to mention Swordfish (2001) where he played the computer genius.
In his spare time, Hugh plays piano, golf and guitar and likes to windsurf...how talented!
I first saw Hugh Jackman in the London stage production of Oklahoma and was completely enthralled. I Wondered if Hugh had done anything else and to my great joy I found he was carving a career on the silver sceeen also. He is so talented but I love Oklahoma the best of all on three counts its my favourite musical and he made the character of Curley so alive and natural that my life long favourite star was now number two but most important of all - I saw Hugh Jackman on stage live - and it was fantastic - and it was indeed a privldege I only wished I could have him.
