Hugh Jackman Fan has a whole new layout, courtesy – once again – of Flor at Sweet Revelation. We needed a departure from the Jean Valjean look, don’t you think? Hugh looking so happy back in Australia is much easier on the eyes! I cannot stress how much I love the new design, it being my favorite for the website to date. Hopefully you really enjoy it, too. Let me know if you catch any errors or what you think of the new layout.

Hugh Looks Ripped in New BTS Image from ‘The Wolverine’

Director James Mangold recently posted what has to be one of the most impressive pictures ever taken of Hugh Jackman. Taking on the character of Wolverine, he looks lean and absolutely ripped in a new behind the scenes rehearsal image from The Wolverine also featuring Hiro Sanada. Wow! His hard work – in the gym and in terms of his diet discipline – definitely seems to have paid off. Check out Mangold’s accompanying tweet below:

Hugh to Appear on “The Kumars at 42″

Kristina — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:50:06 +0000

Hugh Jackman is set to make a guest appearance in the comedy show “The Kumars at No. 42.”

The creator and writer of the comedy, Sanjeev Bhaskar, revealed that the show would be back on screens later on in the year, the BBC reported.

“We’ve got these sketches that we do in the show now,” he said. “Hugh Jackman has done one for us. Zoe Wannamaker’s done one for us as well.” Bhaskar hinted that the star’s part would involve a trampoline.

It was announced last year, that after a six-year hiatus, the comedy show had a new home on Sky1 HD.

Sanjeev Bhaskar added that the Oscar-nominated actor had done a “couple” of the sketches for them and shot them “on one of his off days” while filming Les Miserables.

2013 Joyful Heart Foundation Gala

Apologies for the delays in updates. Between my birthday and a trip to New York, things have been a little hectic. But without further ado: on May 9th, Hugh Jackman and wife Deborra-Lee Furness attended the 2013 Joyful Heart Foundation Gala. The event was to raise awareness for sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. The Joyful Heart Foundation was founded by Hugh and Deb’s friend, Mariska Hargitay (of “Law & Order: SVU”), after she received numerous letters from fans talking about issues her show tackled. A few photos from the evening have been added to the gallery.

Hugh Gets “In Character” as Wolverine

Kristina — Thu, 02 May 2013 00:03:37 +0000

Yesterday, X-Men: Days Of Future Past director Bryan Singer tweeted the above image. A perfect teaser of what to expect regarding Hugh Jackman’s seventh take on the mutant, it appears he’ll have a thick head of hair once again. My guess as to why they kept his face hidden is that his chops haven’t quite grown in yet, but at least we know he’ll be styled with a wig and classic, Logan-esque leather jacket.
