Have a Good NEWS

The way he says Hugh Jackman had to be stopped to give the jazz hands Wolverine. He tells Ryan Gilbey of his childhood struggle with his brother to be allowed to dance

The day before, I was interviewed Hugh Jackman, Australian actor drops a tantalizing hint on Twitter. "Hey tweeters, I have something interesting to announce soon," he writes. "What could it be?" What do we do? I can not stop thinking back to the last time I met him shortly before the launch in 2006 the oil tanker Prestige. Christopher Nolan thriller about two rival magicians (Christian Bale was the other) contains high performance Jackman screen so far: it reveals the torment hidden behind a curtain call and branches of the person of the conjurer, he soaps his parallel career as a player's advantage in musical theater (an existence that most fans of X-Men are probably unconscious).

The Prestige was a mystery wrapped in an enigma, then locked the chest and fell into the ocean. Some people think the same applies to Jackman. A friend took me aside and asked me if I really swallowed the "ordinary, boring family man," feed my appointment by Jackman. I could see it was a classic cover story? Jackman found that the conversation over the years, and always has a smiling response to the list ". You really know you did, when the gay rumors start "

tell your Twitter tease me convinced he was about to leave, and the humor with a sharp laugh. On the other hand, some people believe that the final announcement - which is to take his one-man show of song and dance on Broadway in mid-October - as equivalent to the delimitation of the wardrobe of any way. He laughs at this, too, he is very game. Even the launch of a slap on the thigh, leg, that is, not mine. All these features make a fun alternative to the usual "no comment".

has been there long ago. When he was 10, a teacher approached him after the concert of the school year to congratulate him on his dancing skills and advise her to enroll in a dance class. His father was the idea, but one of the older brothers said that the dance was Jackman for sissies, "What is now - a poof" he laughed. "I was not 100% sure what it was," says the actor now. "But I know that does not sound like it should. And that was all about dance. I closed. I was very embarrassed. I am the 10 minutes of Billy Elliot. I want to dance!" "You poof." "OK, I'll be a minor .'"

His brother apologized when he was 18. "This frees up something for me. I literally signed in a sort of touch the day after he said sorry. "A little sad, added:" Of course I was fully aware he had left it too late to turn pro. " However, it should be restricted positively hoofing in public. After restrictions on certain television programs within Australia (including Corelli, who said he met his wife, who played a prison psychiatrist, has been tattooed in prison), his acting career takes off in music, starting with Trevor Nunn's National Theatre production of Oklahoma! in 1998.

We talk about London during a tour stop international advertising Real Steel, the first (and possibly final) film corny boxing robots. Unlikely, Real Steel is the champion meets short-circuit, with a rustic atmosphere and crazy heart of the West. Jackman plays Charlie, a failed ex-fighter who enters into huge robots fighting in the country fairs. Who else could put vim Jackman in the first row is called jargon to shout ("Bring it! One, two, sir! Destroy punch!") Who else could withdraw from a reluctant affection for his lost son Charlie , a hair blond street dog with Shirley Temple startup, without the gag in his audience with popcorn? But then, Jackman has always stood out to bring the charm and sincerity of the images that would sink a lesser showman.
