Hugh Jackman Promoting ‘Real Steel’ on Various Magazines

September 4, 2011 || Written by Kristina in General News, Real Steel || No Comments

Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to purchase (and scan) every magazine that Hugh will be featured on in the coming month as promotion for Real Steel. That said, what I can do is let fans know which he’ll be in! Up first are issues of Time Out Sydney (September ’11) and Men’s Health UK (October ’11). Check out summaries of the articles below:

TIME OUT SYDNEY
“Man of Steel Hugh Jackman reflects on fame, family, being a ‘big kid,’ owning both stage and screen, and the magnetic pull of Sydney.”

MEN’S HEALTH UK
“Hugh Jackman pushes his body harder than anyone in Hollywood. He tells MH about the mental and physical tools you need to get a powerful physique that’s built to last.”

Although I’m not able to provide scans, I would absolutely appreciate if anyone donated the content to HJF. You would get credit, of course. If you have the magazines, please contact me and let me know.

Hugh Jackman: “[My son] thinks I’m embarrassing.”

September 4, 2011 || Written by Kristina in Articles, Press || No Comments

Hugh Jackman’s son thinks he is embarrassing.

The 42-year-old actor insists 11-year-old Oscar – his eldest child with wife Deborra-Lee Furness – doesn’t view him as ‘cool’, despite portraying ‘X-Men’ hero Wolverine on the big screen.

Hugh – who also has six-year-old daughter Ava with his wife – said: ‘I just did this one-man show in Toronto. There’s an early song where I’m talking about how I like to dance but I’m Wolverine – it’s a funny, fun thing.

‘I was dancing and being a bit of a goofball. My son turned to my wife and said, ‘My dad is so embarrassing.’ He thinks I’m embarrassing.’

Confirmed: Hugh Jackman will Hit Broadway in October!

A couple of days ago, it was being touted as a rumor, but now it’s been confirmed that Hugh Jackman’s limited engagement one-man show will hit Broadway. This, according to the Broadhurst Theater, the venue that will be housing Hugh’s In Concert series from October 25th to December 20th. Tickets are not yet on sale, but be sure to keep checking the Broadhurst’s website for more information.

“Kids are the Greatest Joy,” Says Hugh Jackman

September 3, 2011 || Written by Kristina in Articles, General News, Press, Real Steel || No Comments

A great new article has just been released from the Herald Sun, in which Hugh talks about fatherhood. He touches on the pain of failed IVF attempts, but the joys of adopting and raising children. It’s a great read that only briefly touches on Real Steel (and how Oscar felt about Hugh working with another boy around his age). Check out an excerpt of it below, or read the entire piece in the Press Archive.

Despite many Hollywood stars having rags-to-riches stories, few tend to dwell on them. They’re more likely to talk about their latest role, their recent Oscar, their “blessed” existence. After all, who wants to admit the reality and spoil the fantasy that the rich and famous have perfect lives?

Hugh Jackman could be forgiven for focusing on the good stuff. The Sydney native has earned his place at the top of the showbiz heap (his pay cheque for 2009′s X-Men Origins: Wolverine was rumoured to be $20 million), and with his boyish smile and chiselled physique, it would be easy to believe the all-singing, all-dancing star has enjoyed a trouble-free life.

But, from the moment he arrives for our chat, sans entourage and dressed in a simple outfit of black polo shirt and jeans, it’s clear the 42-year-old doesn’t pretend to be anything he’s not. And despite his A-list status and high earning power, he also doesn’t shy away from the parts of his life that have caused him heartache, namely his struggle to become a father.

“It was painful,” says Jackman of the moment he and wife Deborra-Lee Furness discovered they couldn’t have children. “It’s not easy. You put a lot of time and effort into it, so it’s emotional. I think any parent can relate – trying to have children is wonderful and when you feel as though that’s not going to happen, there’s a certain anxiety that goes with it.”

Pouring himself a glass of water, Jackman explains how, after meeting on the set of ABC prison drama “Correlli” in 1995, he and Furness decided to have children naturally, then adopt later in life. But things didn’t go to plan.

Hugh Jackman to Hit the Broadway Stage in October?

September 2, 2011 || Written by Kristina in Rumored Projects || No Comments

Over at the New York Post, Michael Riedel is reporting some big news. According to Riedel, Hugh Jackman will return to the Broadway stage as early as October 25th! Performing at the Broadhurst, he’ll bring his one-man show to New York a bit early courtesy of production delays for The Wolverine. Important excerpts from the article are below:

Jude Law and Hugh Jackman, two guys who can sell out a theater in about 30 seconds, are coming back to Broadway.

Jackman’s first up, opening Oct. 25 at the Broadhurst for eight weeks in his one-man show, which received rave reviews this summer in Toronto.

[...]

Chemistry between performer and audience should propel Jackman’s one-man show to weekly million-dollar grosses this fall.

Jackman’s slipping in at the last minute because of production delays on the next installment of the “Wolverine” franchise.

It’s a smart move. The fall lineup is dreary, so Broadway can use a shot of that ol’ Jackman magic.

This doesn’t seem to be officially confirmed by Hugh’s reps, but he has previously spoken candidly about wanting to bring his show to NYC. For now, I’m categorizing it as a Rumored Project, although the possibility of it being true does seem likely!
