ABOUT THIS SITE

First of all, and this is kind of a disclaimer, everything I am gonna post on this web will be information I have read about Hugh on the Internet, therefore , I only assume it's right!

And second, I do believe  love and marriage  should last forever, and I know Hugh  is married and deeply in love with his wife ( good for them!) but I also believe film stars are there to make us dream...and I choose to dream that one day I will find a guy as nice, good and handsome as Hugh is :)

With my best wishes to both of them and, with all my respect...this page is dedicated to the hunkiest actor on earth:

Hugh Jackman!!!!

IOh la la, l'amour!

FILMOGRAPHY

 

X2 (2003)
Dir: Bryan Singer
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen, Anna Paquin, Famke Janssen, James Marsden, Halle Berry, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos
From IMDb (unconfirmed plot synopsis):
The X-Men reunite again as Magneto breaks from jail, and Henry Gyrich is revealed to be alive working with Military Officer Agent Stryker to build Sentinels. The X-Men also recruit 2 new team members, Gambit and Nightcrawler.

Cann't wait to see it! Rough, fierce Wolverine will be back...

Kate & Leopold (2001)
Dir: James Mangold
Cast: Meg Ryan, Hugh Jackman, Liev Schrieber, Breckin Meyer, Bradley Whitford, Charlotte Ayanna, Phillip Bosco
 
He makes the perfect duke, his "speeches" are amazing, the script is flat sometimes, but it's a cute unpretencious story.
 

Swordfish (2001)
Dir: Dominic Sena
Cast: John Travolta, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Don Cheadle, Sam Shepard, Vinnie Jones, Camryn Grimes
 
This movie is an action thriller with great moments (no, girls, I am not speaking about Hugh playing golf with just a towel on!)
 

Someone Like You (2001)
Dir: Tony Goldwyn
Cast: Ashley Judd, Greg Kinnear, Hugh Jackman, Marisa Tomei, Ellen Barkin
 
I love him in this role, he is very convicing. As with Wolverine, he plays the though guy with a subtile vulnerability hidden inside, which , after all, is  the most wanted kind of man.
 

X-Men (2000)
Dir: Bryan Singer
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen, Anna Paquin, Famke Janssen, James Marsden, Halle Berry, Bruce Davison, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Tyler Mane, Ray Park
 
What can I say? Amazing! Combine a great chest with great acting and that's what you get!

Dir: Alan White
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Marty Denniss, Aaron Blabey, Andrew Wholley, Joel Edgerton, Leah Vandenberg

The Boy From Oz (workshop) (2002)
Dir: Philip McKinley
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Isabel Keating, Ruthie Henshall, Michael Mulheren
Synopsis:
The Boy From Oz is about the late singer-songwriter from Down Under, Peter Allen, who died in 1992 of complications from AIDS. Allen was a dancer and lounge singer who caught the eye of singing legend Judy Garland when he was appearing at the Hong Kong Hilton in 1964. Three years later, he married her daughter, Liza Minnelli, though they were soon separated and officially divorced in 1974. Allen, whose songs include the disco anthem "I Go to Rio," rarely kept secret his sexual orientation, at a time when sexual orientation was kept secret.
Running through April 2002, this workshop of The Boy From Oz - not open to the public - is in anticipation of a possible Broadway run, hopefully in early 2003. Playwright Martin Sherman (Bent) is reworking the original Australian production with some different song placements and an edgier tone.

Oklahoma! (1999)
Dir: Trevor Nunn
Cast: Maureen Lipman, Hugh Jackman, Josefina Gabrielle, Shuler Hensley, Jimmy Johnston, Vicky Simon, Peter Polycarpou

The National Theatre's production of Oklahoma! transferred from its sellout run at the RNT's Olivier Theatre to the Lyceum Theatre in London's West End in January 1999. Hugh garnered an Olivier Award nomination (UK's equivalent of the Tony) for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance as Curly. The show was videotaped and is available on Region 2 (PAL) video and DVD from Amazon UK.
 
This is actually the first time I saw him. My sister went to London and came back with the recorded show she had just seen. She loved it! And so did I. None of us knew Hugh at that time and we didn't connect him with the hot actor in X-Men, until I noticed that the beautiful singer and the super-hero were the same person. That really dropped my chin!!! He was sooooo good in both performances... We were, and still are, amazed.
