Early life
Jackman was born in Sydney, New South Wales, the youngest of five children of
English parents Chris Jackman and Grace Watson, and the second child to be born
in Australia (he also has a younger half sister, from his mother's
re-marriage).[4] One of his paternal great-grandfathers was Greek.[5] His
parents divorced when he was eight, and he remained with his accountant father
and siblings, while his mother moved back to England.[6] As a child, Jackman
liked the outdoors, spending a lot of time at the beach and on camping trips and
vacations all over Australia. He wanted to see the world: "I used to spend
nights looking at atlases. I decided I wanted to be a chef on a plane. Because
I'd been on a plane and there was food on board, I presumed there was a chef. I
thought that would be an ideal job."[7]
Jackman went to primary school at Pymble Public School and later attended the
all-boys Knox Grammar School, where he starred in its production of My Fair Lady
in 1985, and became the captain of the school in 1986.[8] Following graduation,
he spent a gap year working at Uppingham School in England. On his return, he
studied at the University of Technology, Sydney, graduating in 1991 with a BA in
Communications.[9] In his final year of university, he took a drama course to
make up additional credits. The class did Václav Havel's The Memorandum with
Jackman as the lead.[4] He later commented, "In that week I felt more at home
with those people than I did in the entire three years [at university]".[10]
After obtaining his BA, Jackman completed the one-year course "The Journey" at
the Actors' Centre in Sydney.[4] About studying acting full-time, he stated, "It
wasn't until I was 22 that I ever thought about my hobby being something I could
make a living out of. As a boy, I'd always had an interest in theater. But the
idea at my school was that drama and music were to round out the man. It wasn't
what one did for a living. I got over that. I found the courage to stand up and
say, 'I want to do it'."[7] After completing "The Journey", he was offered a
role on the popular soap opera Neighbours but turned it down[11] to attend the
Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts of Edith Cowan University in
Perth, Western Australia, from which he graduated in 1994.[12]
Jackman has said he "always loved acting but when I started at drama school I
was like the dunce of the class. It just wasn’t coming right to me. Everyone was
cooler, everyone seemed more likely to succeed, everyone seemed more natural at
it and in retrospect I think that is good. I think it is good to come from
behind as an actor. I think it is good to go into an audition thinking 'Man I’ve
got to be at my best to get this gig.'"[13]
Career
Early work
On the night of his final Academy graduation performance, Jackman received a
phone call offering him a role on Correlli: "I was technically unemployed for
thirteen seconds." Correlli, devised by Australian actress Denise Roberts, was a
10-part drama series on ABC, Jackman's first major professional job, and where
he met his future wife Deborra-Lee Furness: "Meeting my wife was the greatest
thing to come out of it."[7] The show lasted only one season.
After Correlli Jackman went on the stage in Melbourne. In 1996, Jackman played
Gaston in the local Walt Disney production of Beauty and the Beast, and Joe
Gillis in Sunset Boulevard.[4] During his stage musical career in Melbourne, he
starred in the 1998 Midsumma festival cabaret production Summa Cabaret. He also
hosted Melbourne's Carols by Candlelight and Sydney's Carols in the Domain.
Jackman's early film work includes Erskineville Kings and Paperback Hero (1999),
and his television work includes Law of the Land, Halifax f.p., Blue Heelers,
and Banjo Paterson's The Man from Snowy River.
Oklahoma!
Jackman became known outside of Australia in 1998, when he played the leading
role of Curly in the Royal National Theatre's acclaimed stage production of
Oklahoma!, in London's West End.[4] The performance earned him an Olivier Award
nomination for Best Actor in a Musical. Jackman said "I totally felt like it
can't get any better than this. On some level that production will be one of the
highlights of my career."[7] He also starred in the 1999 film version of the
same stage musical, which has been screened in many countries.
X-Men
In 1999, Jackman was cast as Wolverine in Bryan Singer's X-Men (2000), replacing
Dougray Scott. His co-stars included Patrick Stewart, James Marsden, Famke
Janssen, and Ian McKellen. According to a CBS interview in November 2006,
Jackman's wife Deborra-Lee Furness told him not to take the role, a comment she
later told him she was glad he ignored.
Wolverine was tough for Jackman to portray because he had few lines, but a lot
of emotion to convey in them. To prepare, he watched Clint Eastwood in the Dirty
Harry movies and Mel Gibson in Road Warrior. "Here were guys who had relatively
little dialogue, like Wolverine had, but you knew and felt everything. I'm not
normally one to copy, but I wanted to see how these guys achieved it."[7]
Jackman was adamant about doing his own stunts for the movie. "We worked a lot
on the movement style of Wolverine, and I studied some martial arts. I watched a
lot of Mike Tyson fights, especially his early fights. There's something about
his style, the animal rage, that seemed right for Wolverine. I kept saying to
the writers, 'Don't give me long, choreographed fights for the sake of it. Don't
make the fights pretty."[7]
Jackman also had to get used to wearing Wolverine's claws. "Every day in my
living room, I'd just walk around with those claws, to get used to them. I've
got scars on one leg, punctures straight through the cheek, on my forehead. I'm
a bit clumsy. I'm lucky I didn't tell them that when I auditioned."[7]
Jackman, at 6 feet 2.5 inches (1.89 m),[14] stands a foot taller than Wolverine,
who is said in the original comic book to be 5 feet 3 inches (1.60 m).[15]
Hence, the filmmakers were frequently forced to shoot Jackman at unusual angles
or only from the waist up to make him appear shorter than he actually is, and
his co-stars wore platform soles. Jackman was also required to add a great deal
of muscle for the role, and in preparing for the fourth film in the series, he
bench-pressed over 300 pounds.[16] An instant star upon the film's release,
Jackman later reprised his role in 2003's X2: X-Men United, 2006's X-Men: The
Last Stand, and 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine. He also cameos as Wolverine in
2011's X-Men: First Class.
2001
Jackman starred as Leopold in the 2001 romantic comedy film Kate & Leopold, a
role for which he received a Best Actor Golden Globe nomination.[4] Jackman
plays a Victorian English duke who accidentally time-travels to 21st-century
Manhattan, where he meets Kate (Meg Ryan), a cynical advertising executive. In
2001, Jackman also starred in the action/drama Swordfish with John Travolta and
Halle Berry. This was the second time Jackman worked with Berry, and the two
have worked together twice more in the X-Men movies.
He hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live in 2001.[17]
2002–2011 (Stage)
In 2002, Jackman sang the role of Billy Bigelow in the musical Carousel in a
special concert performance at Carnegie Hall with the Orchestra of St. Luke's.
In 2004, Jackman won the Tony Award and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding
Actor in a Musical for his 2003–2004 Broadway portrayal of Australian songwriter
and performer Peter Allen in the hit musical The Boy from Oz, which he also
performed in Australia in 2006.[4] In addition, Jackman hosted the Tony Awards
in 2003, 2004, and 2005, garnering positive reviews. His hosting of the 2004
Tony Awards earned him an Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Performer in a
Variety, Musical or Comedy program.
Jackman co-starred with Daniel Craig on Broadway at the Schoenfeld Theatre in a
limited engagement of the play A Steady Rain, which ran from 10 September 2009
to 6 December 2009.[18]
He returned to Broadway in a new show, Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway at the
Broadhurst Theatre, which began performances on 25 October 2011 and concluded on
1 January 2012.[19]
2003–2008 (Films)
After 2003's X2: X-Men United, Jackman played the title role of monster killer
Gabriel Van Helsing in the 2004 film Van Helsing.[4] Jackman and the film were
noted in Bruce A. McClelland's book "Slayers and Their Vampires: A Cultural
History of Killing the Dead".
Jackman was one of the choices to play James Bond in 2006's Casino Royale, but
eventually lost out to Daniel Craig.[20] Jackman starred in the 2006 film The
Prestige, directed by Christopher Nolan and co-starring Christian Bale, Michael
Caine, and Scarlett Johansson. As Robert Angier, Jackman portrayed a magician
who built up a rivalry with contemporary Alfred Borden in attempt to one-up each
other in the art of deception. Jackman stated that his main reason for doing The
Prestige was to work with the musician David Bowie, who played scientist Nikola
Tesla.
Jackman portrayed three different characters in Darren Aronofsky's
science-fiction film The Fountain: Tommy Creo, a neuroscientist, who's torn
between his wife, Izzi (Rachel Weisz) who is dying of a brain tumor, and his
work at trying to cure her; Captain Tomas Creo, a Spanish Conquistador in 1532
Seville; and a future astronaut, Tom, travelling to a golden nebula in an
eco-spacecraft seeking to be reunited with Izzi. Jackman said The Fountain was
his most difficult film thus far due to the physical and emotional demands of
the part.
Jackman also starred in Woody Allen's 2006 film Scoop opposite Scarlett
Johansson. That year he also reprised the role of Wolverine in X-Men: The Last
Stand. He rounded out 2006 with two animated films: Happy Feet, directed by
George Miller, in which he voiced the part of Memphis, an emperor penguin; and
Flushed Away, where Jackman supplied the voice of a rat named Roddy who ends up
being flushed down a family's toilet into the London sewer system. Flushed Away
co-starred Kate Winslet and Ian McKellen (Jackman's fourth time working with
him).
In 2007, Jackman produced and guest-starred in the television musical-dramedy
series Viva Laughlin, which was canceled by CBS after two episodes. Jackman's
2008 movies included Deception (which he starred in and produced), Uncle Jonny,
and Australia.
Australia
In 2008, director Baz Luhrmann cast Jackman to replace Russell Crowe as the male
lead in his much-publicized epic film, Australia, which co-starred Nicole
Kidman. The movie was released in late November 2008 in Australia and the U.S.
Jackman played a tough, independent cattle drover, who reluctantly helps an
English noblewoman in her quest to save both her philandering husband's
Australian cattle station and the half-caste Aboriginal child she finds there.
Of the movie, Jackman said, "This is pretty much one of those roles that had me
pinching myself all the way through the shoot. I got to shoot a big-budget,
shamelessly old-fashioned romantic epic set against one of the most turbulent
times in my native country's history, while, at the same time, celebrating that
country's natural beauty, its people, its cultures.... I'll die a happy man
knowing I've got this film on my CV."[21]
2009 to present
Jackman's X-Men sequel film, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, opened in 2009.
Jackman had a one-man show at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco from 3–15 May
2011.[22] The production was a mixture of his favorite Broadway and Hollywood
musical numbers, backed by a 17-piece orchestra, from shows including Oklahoma
and The Boy from Oz. The show had a run-time of approximately 100 minutes, and
also included slide shows of Jackman's youth, family, and work, as well as some
one-on-one interaction with the audience. Jackman was backed by fellow musical
theatre veterans Merle Dandridge and Angel Reda.[23][24]

2007. Jackman's wife Deborra-Lee Furness is also involved in the company, and
Palermo had three rings made with a "unity" inscription for himself, Furness,
and Jackman.[31] Jackman said, "I'm very lucky in the partners I work with in my
life, Deb and John Palermo. It really works. We all have different strengths. I
love it. It's very exciting."[32]
The Fox-based Seed label has grown in size to include execs Amanda Schweitzer,
