1 | * Ever wonder what ''Wolverine: the Musical'' would sound like? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvRtKMxc88Q Hugh decided to kindly give you a taste, thanks to a fan script.]] |
2 | * The 2009 Oscars would not have been nearly as awesome without Hugh's [[http://youtu.be/Terhj8mjPwY phenomenal opening number.]] Incidentally, Anne Hathaway's performance alongside him (briefly) was so well received that she later went on to host the Oscars as well. |
3 | * At the end of ''Film/VanHelsing'', Hugh 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.]] |
4 | * Hugh 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. |
5 | ** To make it even funnier, he instinctively moved his hands to cover up his "bits and pieces" - forgetting he was wearing the Wolverine claws. |
6 | ** And at the end of filming, Bryan Singer presented him with the gift of a bag full of all the negatives of shots where his "bits and pieces" were visible. |
7 | * In his ''Inside the Actors Studio'' interview, he shares a story of auditioning for the role of Curly in ''Oklahoma!'' He goes to sing the character's opening song "Oh What a Beautiful Morning"...and forgets the words. "And there's only three bloody lines in the whole song!" |
8 | * This is more of a funny observation, but Hugh's LoveInterests have a nasty habit of [[Film/XMenOriginsWolverine dying]] [[Film/XMenTheLastStand around]] [[Film/VanHelsing him.]] And two of them happen while he's semi-nude too. |
9 | ** And in ''Film/LesMiserables2012'' he has no LoveInterest - so he's the one that dies. |
10 | * From the 2001 Christmas episode of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' he hosted: Jackman tells the story of how, in his native Australia, Christmas is celebrated when his father (Creator/WillFerrell) beats up a boxing kangaroo -- until the year when the kangaroo beat up his dad and sodomized him. |
11 | * [[http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/KingPatel/news/?a=99524 2014 Hugh Jackman interviews 1999 Hugh Jackman]]. |
12 | * Apparently when he first met Creator/NicholasHoult 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. |
13 | * 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. |
14 | ** David got a good one in on Hugh when he was talking about his R-rated movie. |
15 | ---> '''Hugh:''' I wouldn't bring my ten-year-old to see it.\ |
16 | '''David:''' [[SkewedPriorities But you'll bring MY ten-year-old to the pub?]] |
17 | * Apparently he was suffering dehydration during an early performance of ''Beauty & the Beast'' so he had to drink four litres of water. Unfortunately that resulted in him having to pee while performing - which is especially hard when one is in a musical. Apparently during one rendition of "Gaston" he decided to go for the high note and live with wetting himself on stage. |
18 | * His appearance on BBC Radio 1's "Innuendo Bingo". Both he and the guest host Music/KylieMinogue were reduced to hysterical {{Corpsing}}. |
19 | * This [[https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=hugh+jackman+stephen+colbert&&view=detail&mid=1C2EB3A99913F03C2EB01C2EB3A99913F03C2EB0&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dhugh%2520jackman%2520stephen%2520colbert%26qs%3DUT%26form%3DQBVR%26%3D%2525eManage%2520Your%2520Search%2520History%2525E%26sp%3D1%26lq%3D0%26pq%3Dhugh%2520jackman%2520stephen%2520%26sc%3D1-21%26cvid%3D3A54D1C360044E18BCD8900D8B5D2F72 interview with Stephen Colbert]]. |
20 | * While walking a red carpet he was stopped for an interview, only to completely hijack it because he was the interviewer's old PE teacher and recognized his former student. |
21 | * Before filming [[Film/XMen1 the first X-Men movie]], [[Creator/CalDodd Cathal J. Dodd]] and the rest of the cast of ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' were on the set as consultants. Cathal's performance was the only Wolverine reference Hugh had access to, so he watched some of the episodes. After a few days later, Hugh walk up to Cathal and jokingly said that he was tired of hearing his voice. |
