Hugh is known for being a triple-threat, playing roles ranging from Peter Allen (The Boy from Oz) to Wolverine (in Fox's X-Men franchise). Audiences will soon see him as the iconic Jean Valjean in Tom Hooper's Les Misérables.
HJF intends to provide the best source of information on Hugh and his career, including the latest news, photos, and media.
Thank you for visiting and supporting Hugh Jackman!
Hugh Jackman Fan has a whole new layout, courtesy – once again – of Flor at Sweet Revelation. We needed a departure from the Jean Valjean look, don’t you think? Hugh looking so happy back in Australia is much easier on the eyes! I cannot stress how much I love the new design, it being my favorite for the website to date. Hopefully you really enjoy it, too. Let me know if you catch any errors or what you think of the new layout.
Hugh Looks Ripped in New BTS Image from ‘The Wolverine’
Director James Mangold recently posted what has to be one of the most impressive pictures ever taken of Hugh Jackman. Taking on the character of Wolverine, he looks lean and absolutely ripped in a new behind the scenes rehearsal image from The Wolverine also featuring Hiro Sanada. Wow! His hard work – in the gym and in terms of his diet discipline – definitely seems to have paid off. Check out Mangold’s accompanying tweet below:
Hugh Jackman is set to make a guest appearance in the comedy show “The Kumars at No. 42.”
The creator and writer of the comedy, Sanjeev Bhaskar, revealed that the show would be back on screens later on in the year, the BBC reported.
“We’ve got these sketches that we do in the show now,” he said. “Hugh Jackman has done one for us. Zoe Wannamaker’s done one for us as well.” Bhaskar hinted that the star’s part would involve a trampoline.
It was announced last year, that after a six-year hiatus, the comedy show had a new home on Sky1 HD.
Sanjeev Bhaskar added that the Oscar-nominated actor had done a “couple” of the sketches for them and shot them “on one of his off days” while filming Les Miserables.
First Look at Hugh in ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’
Our first look at Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in X-Men: Days of Future Past has been revealed! Director Bryan Singer tweeted the photo, which also features Nicholas Hoult (as Beast) in the frame. What do you think of Hugh’s look in this film? Do you like the wig, or prefer the shorter style in The Wolverine? Check out Bryan’s tweet that accompanied the pic below:
Launch of SiriusXM’s Entertainment Weekly Radio Channel
Hugh Jackman helped launch the SiriusXM Entertainment Weekly Radio Channel on May 10th. The new EW Radio – unsurprisingly dedicated to all things pop culture – will officially debut to the public on May 28th on channel 105. At the launch event, Hugh met up with moderator and EW editor Jess Cagle and answered numerous fan questions for a segment entitled Town Hall. For those with the SiriusXM service and interested in tuning in, it will air on the 28th at 7:00am.
Apologies for the delays in updates. Between my birthday and a trip to New York, things have been a little hectic. But without further ado: on May 9th, Hugh Jackman and wife Deborra-Lee Furness attended the 2013 Joyful Heart Foundation Gala. The event was to raise awareness for sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. The Joyful Heart Foundation was founded by Hugh and Deb’s friend, Mariska Hargitay (of “Law & Order: SVU”), after she received numerous letters from fans talking about issues her show tackled. A few photos from the evening have been added to the gallery.
In a recently released video, Hugh Jackman encourages fans to stop by their local comic book shops on May 4th. The reason? It’s the Free Comic Book Day, held annually on the first Saturday of May. Participating comic stores will offer free goodies from publishing groups such as Marvel and DC. For more information on the event, check out their website. May the Fourth be with you!
