Hugh Jackman is and will be to many The Wolverine and nothing more. So singular was his personification of that role at a time when super hero movies were not as numerous as they are now its little wonder he is rarely regarded for his other roles for which he is surprisingly good.
Educated in Sydney he is one of the few Australian stars not to go the Soap Opera route to fame, instead sticking closer to theatre making his name in London's west end in the big production of Oklahoma. But his background seems to have been personified by religion, joining and leading different educational establishments (both drama and technology vocations) and long devoted marriage to his wife Deborra-Lee Furness, another actress (and now producer) he met while filming an Australian TV show (Correlli) – the internet seems to have a certain fascination with the fact that his wife is 13 years his senior and doesn't fit the mode of a "Hollywood wife" but this in a way is part of Jackman's appeal, he's clearly a happy and devoted individual not swayed by surface. What's fresh about him is that despite being voted "worlds sexiest man" back in 2008 he remains grounded doing films that are far from vanity projects (he was great in the Prestige" and of course his on going charity work of doing and promoting something called "micro credit" an charity that is about giving tiny loans to individuals in the developing world so that can start up a business and trade their way out of poverty. Contrast this man with say, Colin Farrell, a guy who has spent the last 12 years trying to sleep with as many groupies as possible and drink as much alcohol as he can without dying - you start to see the virtue of a guy like Jackman.
His latest film is "Eddie the Eagle" which might not be exactly Citizen Kane but is wildly funny and in it he generously makes fun of himself while serving up the laughs.
