Hugh Jackman: Difference between revisions

An Australian actor, producer, and general all-round heartthrob, Hugh Jackman first gained worldwide attention as Curley in the West End's revival of ''[[Oklahoma!]]'', but he did not become a household name until he was cast as [[Wolverine]] in the ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' film franchise. He subsequently won a Tony Award for his performance in the Broadway production of ''The Boy From Oz'' as Australian singer-songwriter Peter Allen. He has also starred in romances and romantic comedies, including ''Kate & Leopold'' (opposite Meg Ryan) and ''[[Australia (2008 film)|Australia]]'' (opposite fellow Aussie and close friend [[Nicole Kidman]]). He currently plans to star in a future remake of ''[[Carousel]]'', a role he had formerly played on Broadway, and has been cast in the role of Jean Valjean in the upcoming film version of the musical ''[[Les Misérables (theatre)|Les Miserables]]''.
