Early life

Jackman was born in Sydney, New South Wales, to Grace McNeil (née Greenwood) and Christopher John Jackman,[3] a Cambridge-educated accountant.[4][5] His parents were English and had come to Australia in 1967 as part of the "Ten Pound Poms" immigration scheme.[5] Thus, in addition to his Australian citizenship, Jackman holds British citizenship by virtue of being born to UK-born parents.[6][7] One of his paternal great-grandfathers, Nicholas Isidor Bellas, was Greek,[8][9] from the Ottoman Empire (now in Greece).[10][11] His parents were devout Christians, having been converted by Evangelist Billy Graham after their marriage.[5] Jackman has four older siblings and was the second of his parents' children to be born in Australia.[12] He also has a younger half-sister, from his mother's remarriage.[13] His parents divorced when he was eight, and Jackman remained in Australia with his father and two brothers, while his mother moved back to England with Jackman's two sisters.[5][14][15] As a child, Jackman liked the outdoors, spending much time at the beach and on camping trips and school holidays all over Australia. He wanted to see the world, saying, "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."[16]

Jackman went to primary school at Pymble Public School and later attended the all-boys Knox Grammar School on Sydney's Upper North Shore, where he starred in its production of My Fair Lady in 1985 and became the school captain in 1986.[17] He spent a gap year in 1987[18] working at Uppingham School in England as a Physical Education teacher.[19][20] On his return, he studied at the University of Technology, Sydney, graduating in 1991 with a BA in Communications.[21] 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.[12] He later commented, "In that week I felt more at home with those people than I did in the entire three years [at university]".[22]

After obtaining his BA, Jackman completed the one-year course "The Journey" at the Actors' Centre in Sydney.[12] 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 theatre. 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'."[23] After completing "The Journey", he was offered a role on the popular soap opera Neighbours but turned it down[24] to attend the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts of Edith Cowan University in Perth, Western Australia, from which he graduated in 1994.[25]

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.'"[26]

Career

1995–1999: Early career in theatre

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. Jackman stated that "Meeting my wife was the greatest thing to come out of it."[23] 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.[12] 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 works include 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.

Jackman became known outside 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.[12] 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."[27] He also starred in the 1999 film version of the same stage musical, which has been screened in many countries.

2000–2004: Breakthrough with X-Men

Jackman had his breakthrough role playing Wolverine in Bryan Singer's X-Men (2000)—a superhero film based on the Marvel Comics team of the same name.[28] Co-starring Patrick Stewart, James Marsden, Famke Janssen and Ian McKellen, the film tells the story of a group of mutants, whose superhuman powers make them distrusted by normal humans, but who fight to protect humans from villains. The role was originally written for Russell Crowe who instead suggested Jackman for the part.[29] Jackman says that his wife advised him against taking on the role, as she found it "ridiculous".[30] He initially studied wolves to develop his character, as he thought that Wolverine alluded to wolves.[31] X-Men was successful at the box-office, earning US$296 million.[32] The role earned him a Saturn Award for Best Actor.[33]

Wolverine was tough for Jackman to portray because he had few lines, but much emotion to convey in them. To prepare, he watched Clint Eastwood in the Dirty Harry movies and Mel Gibson in Mad Max 2. "There 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."[34] 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."[35] Jackman also had to get used to wearing Wolverine's claws. He said, "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."[16]

Jackman, at 1.90 m (6 ft 3 in)[36][37] stands 30 cm taller than Wolverine, who is said in the original comic book to be 5 feet 3 inches (1.60 m).[38] 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 136 kg (300 lb).[39]

Jackman reprised his role in 2003's X2, 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand, and the 2009 prequel X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where Troye Sivan played the younger version of James Howlett. He also cameoed as Wolverine in 2011's X-Men: First Class. He returned for the role of Wolverine again in 2013's The Wolverine, a stand-alone sequel taking place after the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, and reprised the character in the 2014 sequel X-Men: Days of Future Past and briefly in the 2016 follow-up X-Men: Apocalypse.[40] In 2015, Jackman announced that the 2017 sequel to The Wolverine, Logan, was the final time that he would play the role.[41] It earned him the Guinness World Record of 'longest career as a live-action Marvel superhero'.[42]

Jackman starred as Leopold in the 2001 romantic comedy film Kate & Leopold, a role for which he received a Best Actor Golden Globe nomination.[12] 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 thrice more in the X-Men movies. He hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live in 2001.

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.[12] 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.

After 2003's X2, Jackman played the title role of monster killer Gabriel Van Helsing in the 2004 film Van Helsing.[12] Jackman and the film were noted in Bruce A. McClelland's book Slayers and Their Vampires: A Cultural History of Killing the Dead.

2005–2007: Hollywood success

Jackman was asked to consider taking on the role of James Bond before Daniel Craig was chosen to play the character, but turned it down due to other commitments. Speaking to the British Press Association in 2011, Jackman said: "I was about to shoot X-Men 2 and Wolverine had become this thing in my life and I didn't want to be doing two such iconic characters at once."[43]

Alongside Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Scarlett Johansson, Jackman starred in The Prestige (2006), a mystery thriller from Christopher Nolan. Jackman portrayed Robert Angier, an aristocratic magician who builds up a rivalry with contemporary Alfred Borden (Bale) in an attempt to one-up each other in the art of deception. After reading the script, Jackman expressed interest in starring in the film, and Nolan believed that the actor had the qualities of the character.[44] Jackman based his portrayal of Angier on 1950s-era American magician Channing Pollock.[45] The Prestige was acclaimed and a box-office success.[46][47]

Jackman portrayed three different characters in Darren Aronofsky's science-fiction film The Fountain: Tommy Creo, a neuroscientist, who is 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.[citation needed]

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).[citation needed]

In 2007, Jackman produced and guest-starred in the television musical-dramedy series Viva Laughlin, which was cancelled by CBS after two episodes.[citation needed] In 2007, Jackman became the Patron of the Actors Centre Australia where he studied, and remains so.[citation needed]

2008–2011: Return to Broadway

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 mixed race 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."[48] That year, People Magazine named Jackman its 2008 "Sexiest Man Alive".[49]

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.[50]

Jackman had a one-man show at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco from 3–15 May 2011.[51] The production was a mixture of his favourite 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.[52][53] He later 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.[54]

Jackman then portrayed the villain Blackbeard in the film Pan, which revolved around the backstories of J.M. Barrie's characters Peter Pan and Captain Hook. The movie received generally negative reviews and was a failure at the box office.[65] In 2016, Jackman played fictional ski coach, Bronson Peary, in Eddie the Eagle,[66] which portrayed how Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards became the first competitor to represent Great Britain in Olympic ski jumping in 1988.[67]

Jackman had an uncredited cameo as Wolverine in the 2016 film X-Men: Apocalypse.[68] In 2017, he reprised the character for what was intended to be the final time in the third Wolverine film, Logan.[69] Jackman's performance and the film were critically acclaimed and it is regarded as one of the greatest superhero films of all-time.[70] For his 17-year spanning long performance as Wolverine, Jackman topped The Hollywood Reporter's Greatest Superhero Movie Performances of All Time list.[71] That year, he also starred as P. T.

Jackman was raised Christian, attending multiple revivals during his childhood. In a 2015 interview, he identified as Christian[93] but says his version of faith differs from his father's. "He takes his religion very seriously and would prefer I go to church," "We've had discussions about our separate beliefs. I just find the evangelical church too, well, restrictive."[94] He meditates daily and incorporates teachings from the spiritually eclectic School of Practical Philosophy.[95]

was born in Sydney New South Wales to Grace McNeil nee Greenwood and Christopher John Jackman 3 a Cambridge educated accountant 4 5 His parents were English and had come to Australia in 1967 as part of the Ten Pound Poms immigration scheme 5 Thus in addition to his Australian citizenship Jackman holds British citizenship by virtue of being born to UK born parents 6 7 One of his paternal great grandfathers Nicholas Isidor Bellas was Greek 8 9 from the Ottoman Empire now in Greece 10 11 His parents were devout Christians having been converted by Evangelist Billy Graham after their marriage 5 Jackman has four older siblings and was the second of his parents children to be born in Australia 12 He also has a younger half sister from his mother s remarriage 13 His parents divorced when he was eight and Jackman remained in Australia with his father and two brothers while his mother moved back to England with Jackman s two sisters 5 14 15 As a child Jackman liked the outdoors spending much time at the beach and on camping trips and school holidays all over Australia He wanted to see the world saying 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 16 Jackman went to primary school at Pymble Public School and later attended the all boys Knox Grammar School on Sydney s Upper North Shore where he starred in its production of My Fair Lady in 1985 and became the school captain in 1986 17 He spent a gap year in 1987 18 working at Uppingham School in England as a Physical Education teacher 19 20 On his return he studied at the University of Technology Sydney graduating in 1991 with a BA in Communications 21 In his final year of university he took a drama course to make up additional credits The class did Vaclav Havel s The Memorandum with Jackman as the lead 12 He later commented In that week I felt more at home with those people than I did in the entire three years at university 22 After obtaining his BA Jackman completed the one year course The Journey at the Actors Centre in Sydney 12 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 theatre 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 23 After completing The Journey he was offered a role on the popular soap opera Neighbours but turned it down 24 to attend the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts of Edith Cowan University in Perth Western Australia from which he graduated in 1994 25 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 26 Career1995 1999 Early career in theatre 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

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 12 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 27 He also starred in the 1999 film version of the same stage musical which has been screened in many countries 2000 2004 Breakthrough with X Men Jackman had his breakthrough role playing Wolverine in Bryan Singer s X Men 2000 a superhero film based on the Marvel Comics team of the same name 28 Co starring Patrick Stewart James Marsden Famke Janssen and Ian McKellen the film tells the story of a group of mutants whose

saying to the writers Don t give me long choreographed fights for the sake of it Don t make the fights pretty 35 Jackman also had to get used to wearing Wolverine s claws He said 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
