Aussie actor Hugh Jackman has played everything from muscled superhero Wolverine
in the X-Men movies to effeminate musician Peter Allen. Unlike
some image conscious actors like Tom Cruise Jackman seems unafraid of any role
macho or not. His upcoming gigs including hosting the 2009 Academy Awards and
playing Wolverine in the upcoming movie of the same name. And he gets
on lots of "sexiest actor" lists while doing it. The New York Times called him "Every straight woman's dream husband and Gay best friend at the same time."
Performing
in plays in Australia, London's West End and Broadway Jackman won a Tony. Then
he won an Emmy hosting the Tonys! He won a Golden Globe for the movie Kate &
Leopold. Good luck hosting the Oscars. Boy that show has problems.
The circus outside the Kodak Theater on Hwd Boulevard is a lot more entertaining.
Unlike
some actors who can't settle down Jackman married Deborra-Lee Furness in April
996. According to Wikipedia they met on the set of his first TV acting job
in Correlli, an Australian television series. Sadly, Furness had two
miscarriages, after which she and Jackman adopted two children, Oscar Maximillian
(born 5 May 2000) and Ava Eliot (born 0 July 2005). They currently live in
Sydney and you can see photos of the family below.
