But Hollywood celebrity websites think Hugh‘s merely trying to round off his multi-talented persona with another specialty: WWE tough guy. We all know he hosts, sings, dances, pummels, does magic tricks, hunts vampires,  growls, snarls, and is virtually indestructible…but he’s never fought in a ring before.

In “Real Steele”, he plays a boxing promoter who mentors a boxing robot, but get in the ring himself?

So give a big round of applause to Mr. Hugh Jackman who always does his best in everything he gets himself into…much to the dismay of poor Mr. Ziggler…

So, to make up for that, Hugh said he has been eating 6,000 calories a DAY! Can you imagine eating that much food every day for weeks on end because you are supposed to?

“Right now, I’m at 210 [pounds],” Jackman said. “I was at 190 … and [Aronofsky] said with the last one, ‘Hey you looked great, but you’re so tall that in those long shots you looked kind of like Clint Eastwood, and that’s not Wolverine.’”

This isn’t the first time the director has asked an actor to extremely alter his or her weight for a role. He recently had Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis shed a whopping 20 pounds for their roles in ‘Black Swan.’ But for his new role, Jackman needed to pack on every pound he could.

Do you think packing on the pounds or losing the pounds would be easier? Aronofsky directed both films, so he doesn’t seem to have any bones in asking people to look the part of their roles. Do you think it’s right?

All was going hunky dory until Jackman couldn’t stop the zip line and instead went crashing into a light. The paramedics were called and thankfully Jackman‘s only injury was a gash on his right eyebrow.

“That was so much fun until the end. I came down waving to everyone, looking over Sydney Harbor, saw my dad, the kids and you, went to pull the brake and then boing… I’m OK… It doesn’t hurt.”

Some things may be worth dying for, but a spot on Oprah’s show? Definitely not one of them.

More pictures of Robert and Hugh after the song…

Hugh and Robert battled it out over the karaoke machine! That’s right, a singing contest! From the Examiner:

Despite being musically gifted much like Hugh Jackman, Robert Pattinson reportedly “lost” to Wolverine after both performed classic tracks by ABBA.

“We met up in Japan and we went karaoke singing,” Pattinson is quoted as saying by BangShowBiz.

“We were singing Abba songs, it was pretty funny. It was sort of an ABBA song sing-off, you know, last man standing.”

“I think he won, only because he can drink more than me and still sing in tune”

I can just picture Hugh dancing and singing to ABBA. I’m not surprised, for some reason. I wonder if Kristen Stewart was watching and what she thought of the performance.

More pictures of Daniel and Hugh after the call…

These two are both fit, buff, intimidating men. But they had to deal with an obnoxious phone during the middle of a performance! According to Popeater, the actors can turn out lines while standing on their feet, and they were funny.

The actors are starring on Broadway in ‘A Steady Rain’ and during one performance last week, an audience member’s phone kept ringing, and no one would answer, TMZ reports.

Staying in character, Jackman and Craig masterfully dealt with the rude interruption, making the theater patrons laugh.

I don’t think I would want to make either of those guys mad! Look how many people they have killed in movies! I mean, they’re super heroes and super agents!

More pictures of Hugh and Daniel after the drool…

Each has made several blockbuster movies. Each is a heartthrob in their own country, the UK and Australia, as well as around the world. So now what? They conquer Broadway in NY. According to the NY Post:

Daniel Craig, a k a James Bond, and Hugh Jackman, aka Wolverine, will team up in a new play this fall on Broadway, The Post has learned.

The drama, “A Steady Rain” by Keith Huff, is about two Chicago cops whose lifelong friendship is put to the test when they become involved in a domestic dispute in a poor neighborhood.

I wonder who will get to play the female lead in the show, because there has to be a female in it. Will it be a no name or will a Hollywood hottie step up? Name your guesses here!

More pictures of Hugh after the skip…

Hugh purchased bagels, muffins, juice, coffee and other items for a few dozen fans in Arizona.  TMZ says:

TMZ has obtained the receipt from Paradise Bakery in Tempe, Arizona — where Jackman bought 67 breakfast trays and 80 gallons of coffee for a pack of “Wolverine” fans who had camped out in front of a theater the day before Monday’s big premiere.

Once Jackman heard about the fans, he promised to buy them breakfast and placed the order late Sunday. We’re told Jackman wanted to keep the food order simple and bought platters of bagels, muffins, and croissants.

Heck, I’d camp outside for nothing if Hugh would bring me breakfast!  What crazy thing would you do in order to meet a star or have a star deliver you breakfast, lunch or dinner?

A rep tells People magazine: “We were not only concerned about Hugh’s welfare – and we would never send anyone into harm’s way – but we also have an enormous office filled with people we care about,” “There was no point in proceeding under the current conditions.”

Hugh was the only cast member from the film who was expected to attend the Mexico City premiere. Whether the premiere will be rescheduled or not depends on the future developments of the current medical epidemic.

The Mexico government has asked for residents to stay home; they are shutting down schools and even the nation’s top movie-theater chains have opted to shut down dozens of cinemas. It’s scary but look at the bright side of life…

Darn, I never thought Jackman is this FINE. He does look really hot, doesn’t he? I was pretty puzzled when People made Hugh, the sexiest man alive. Wow, Wolverine is deadly. Photos were taken earlier this month with Hugh doing a photocall in Paris for his new film.

Jackman told the paper:

“I’d be happy to go and deny it, because I’m not. But by denying it, I’m saying there is something shameful about it, and there isn’t anything shameful. The questions about sexuality I find more here in America than anywhere else, because it’s a big hang-up and defines what people think about themselves and others. It’s not a big issue in Australia.”

Hugh then goes on to say his wife of 13 years has him in the “wit department” and is the “most honest” person he’s ever met.  “Every person I’ve ever worked with has ended up liking Deb more than they like me,” he says.

Jackman is fit as a fiddle and if you were to look very careful. Not asking you to be rude but if you were.. his private parts have been digitally removed.

According to CNN:

Someone stole an “incomplete and early version” of the next installment in the blockbuster “X-Men” movie series and posted it on the Internet this week.
Twentieth Century Fox said the FBI was investigating who leaked “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,”

“The source of the initial leak and any subsequent postings will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law; the courts have handed down significant criminal sentences for such acts in the past,” the studio’s statement said.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is set for release in U.S. theaters May 1. And Good God, I won’t miss it for anything!

More juice after the nip slip…

Beyonce did indeed let it all hang out.  Did Hugh Jackman know when he was dancing with her?  Probably not, since it was a song and dance number and only the people watching the stills caught the nip and pointed it out to everyone.

From the Huffington Post:

Beyonce’s Oscar performance with Hugh Jackman was a broad, family-friendly tribute to the musical. But, she had a split second moment of nudity thanks to a bit of a wardrobe malfunction. Spotted by egotastic is a quick nipple slip.

Oops. Is this fine worthy or not even worth mentioning?

Click Here to see more photos of Beyonce at the Oscars and her musical video with Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.

I don’t know if I agree on the Sexiest Man alive title but Hugh sure has a lot of charisma.  My jaw dropped listening to his distinguished Aussie accent and him dancing away. The fact is that Jackman can sing and dance but we all remember him as Wolverine in X-Men. Bravo Jackman! You scored a 10!

Women, Hugh is taken, got that?  So much hype about him being married to his much older wife. Yes, she’s older. Jackman’s been married to his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, an Australian actress and director for 14 years now. They met when Hugh was 26 and married soon after that. I believe she’s 9 years older than Hugh. Everyone and their mother talks about it. I bet it’s becoming more and more of a pressure for him, the sexiest man alive. I just hope it doesn’t kill his marriage. Hugh did tell People magazine back in November that him and his wife are happy. They also have 2 kids together.

Here’s the musical, feast your eyes on it. Hugh Jackson is an amazing performer.

I’ve included a few photos of Hugh Jackson’s wife which were not taken at last night’s Oscars just to satisfy your curiosity.

More pictures after the call…

Hugh says it was 2 am, he was mostly sleeping when the call came in.  It was Clooney on the other end and he said, via People Magazine:

“He goes, “Shut up, Jackman!’ ” the Aussie actor jokingly recounted. “[He said,] ‘I know what you did! You started this big campaign that’s been going on and [you] took the title away from me.’ ”

“I thought that was unnecessary,” Jackman deadpanned.

Being the sexy man must be a tough life.  His family is picking on him too, and his father won’t talk about it.  Poor Hugh! Betw’ do you think he’s really that sexy?
