Hugh Jackman (born 12 October 1968) is an
Australian actor who portrayed Wolverine in X-Men (2000) and X2: X-Men
United (2003). His other works include Swordfish (2001), Kate and
Leopold (2001), Someone Like You (2001), and Van Helsing (2004).
Biography
Jackman was born in Sydney, Australia, the
youngest of five children of English-born parents. His mother left the
family and went back to England when he was eight years old, and he
remained behind with his father, an accountant. Jackman graduated from
the Sydney University of Technology with a BA in Communications, having
majored in journalism. In 1994, he graduated from WAAPA.
Jackman married actress Deborra-Lee Furness
in February of 1996. They met on the set of his first TV acting job in
Corelli, an Australian television program. Jackman played an angry
prisoner who fell in love with his counsellor, played by Furness. He and
his wife adopted Oscar Maximilian Jackman, who was born on May 15, 2000.
Jackman played Gaston in the Melbourne
production of Beauty and the Beast, and Joe Gillis in the same city's
production of Sunset Boulevard. He first became known outside of
Australia when he played the leading role of Curly in the Royal National
Theatre's acclaimed stage production of Oklahoma! in London,
demonstrating his talent as a singer as well as an actor.
He was a last-minute addition to the X-Men
cast. Dougray Scott was originally cast as Wolverine, but Scott was tied
up on the set of Mission: Impossible 2 for two additional months of
shooting. Hugh stands a foot taller than Wolverine, who is reported by
Marvel Comics to be 5' 3". Despite this, Jackman's performance was
highly praised and the film's success immediately made him a star.
Jackman is currently in plans to star in a spinoff film for Wolverine.
In 2004, Jackman won a Tony Award for his
Broadway portrayal of Australian songwriter and performer Peter Allen in
The Boy from Oz. Jackman hosted the Tony Awards in 2004 and 2005,
garnering very positive reviews.
2005 saw him cast in the lead role of The
Fountain, directed by Darren Aronofsky. Jackman starred alongside Rachel
Weisz and Ellen Burstyn.
[Added by PSP: He and his wife adopt a
second child, a daughter named Ava in July 2005.]
He has also been rumored as a possible
successor to Pierce Brosnan in the role of James Bond, although for the
time being Brosnan has remained in the role.
