* His hilarious banter with David Beckham when they both appeared on Series/TheGrahamNortonShow. David's son had just turned ten and was a huge fan - but David did ''not'' bring him to meet Hugh, which Hugh ribbed him for.

* At the end of ''Film/VanHelsing'', Hugh Jackman was actually naked after he turned back into a human being, but the effects team had to add on pants to the final cut of the film because, allegedly, the crowd during an early screening [[DistractedByTheSexy couldn't focus on the sad moment because of his body.]]
* Hugh Jackman was genuinely naked when he filmed one of the scenes in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' so the crew decided to play a little prank on him. He ran down the hall and turned a corner only to find the entire female cast and crew present (and Creator/JamesMarsden's mum) to make catcalls and moon over his naked body while they waved money at him.

** And in ''Film/LesMiserables2012'' he has no love interest - so he's the one that dies.

* Apparently when he first met Nicholas Hoult on the set of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', the latter had a fanboy moment and said something to the extent of "I've been a fan ever since I was eight" - only for Hugh to cut him off, not wanting to be reminded of his age.

* Apparently he was suffering dehydration during an early performance of ''Beauty & the Beast'' so he had to drink four litres of water.
