Who is Hugh Jackman?
Australian native Hugh Jackman is one of the most talented actors of our time. He’s won an Emmy, a Golden Globe, a Grammy, a Tony, and a Drama Desk Award, to name a few.

Jackman has headlined many blockbuster films, including Les Misérables, The Greatest Showman (for which he won a Grammy Award), and 10 films as Wolverine in the X-Men franchise, including X-Men Origins.
Jackman has made several television appearances, including as Curly McLain in the tv film Oklahoma! and as host of the Tony Awards in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2014.
