Here are some photos of James McAvoy and Hugh Jackman in London at an unveiling of? let me get this right? an ?X-MEN themed pendolino Virgin train at Euston Station to celebrate the release of of X-MEN: Days of Future Past.? Sure. X-Men: Days of Future Past has lots of product tie-ins, and you?ve probably already seen some of the commercials. Have you seen the Hardee?s ads with Mystique? Days of Future Past isn?t even out until May 23rd, so we?ve got two months of promotional stops like this ahead of us. And personally, I can?t wait.
That?s one good thing about having such an enormous ensemble ? different mutants can do different parts of the promotional tour. I mean, the ?leads? this time around include Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Peter Dinklage, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Ellen Page and James McAvoy. There will be lots of combinations there-in and we?re going to have some fun with it.
Incidentally, I took my mom to X-Men: First Class in the theaters, and she LOVED it. I expected her to enjoy it, but I wasn?t expecting her to become, like, loonie for all things X-Men (she bought the box set of the first three films). I asked her last night if she wanted to see the new one and before I had even finished asking, she was like ?YES WE ARE SEEING THAT ON OPENING WEEKEND.?
Anyway, James and Hugh are looking very good here. I think CB is more into Hugh, and she really likes his greying, short beard here. He is aging really well, isn?t he? He?s 45 years old. Now, as for James? lord, he?s cute. THOSE EYES. So? who would I rather? James. But that?s no slam on Hugh ? Hugh?s looking very good here, I?m just more into McAvoy.

Nothing can take down Hugh Jackman. Not mutants, sentinels, that terrible first Wolverine movie and definitely not skin cancer. Jackman tells Access Hollywood that the red patch he found on his nose which turned out to be basal cell carcinoma was removed and he’s in the clear.
?I?m all good! It?s all out,? the actor told Access Hollywood at the David Lynch Foundation Presents: Change Begins Within Benefit Gala in New York City on Tuesday. ?Thank you to my beautiful wife who said, ?Come on, go and get it checked.?
?It was just a red dot on my nose and I was like, maybe I injured it in a fight sequence or something, and lo and behold it wasn?t ? It was a basal cell carcinoma,? he continued. ?I?m an Aussie, we have to get checked but everyone should get checked. Particularly if you?re my age. If you?re 21 or older, you just go and get checked. It?s simple.?
A bonus on getting that red patch removed is now his kids will stop calling him Rudolph. Those jerks.

Spending some guy time with the other male in his household, Hugh Jackman walked his dog in New York City on Monday (December 2).
The "Wolverine" star wore a black coat and gray trousers as he strolled along with his French bulldog Dali on a leash, who wore a matching black coat.
Over the holiday weekend, the hunky Aussie spent time with his family in a much warmer locale, posting beach photos via Twitter.
On Friday, Hugh posted a picture of human and dog footprints in the sand with the caption, "Taking a walk with Dali."

You may remember those photos of Hugh Jackman looking like a goofy dork riding a scooter wearing Vibram FiveFingers. Well, he’s not the only one in his family who rides a scooter (though it does like he’s the only one who wears FiveFingers). All of them do.
Here he is with his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, and daughter, Ava Jackman, all riding scooters to Ava’s school. The only one not riding a scooter is their dog which is a travesty. Can’t they at least get him a little miniaturized scooter. All the bitches would love him.

Showing some love to his Chinese fans, Hugh Jackman showed up at a press conference for ?The Wolverine? in Beijing on Monday (October 14).
The ?Real Steel? hunk donned a dark suit and chatted with members of the media with the help of a translator ahead of the film?s premiere.
Over the weekend, Hugh hosted a 45th birthday party for himself at Hollywood?s Dolby Theatre, raising money for the Motion Picture & Television Fund with a live performance.
Jackman, who raised $1.85 million that night, told press, "This is probably the most narcissistic way to spend your birthday. I chose my favorite songs and told stories about my life."
"A lot of guys would say to their wife, 'Do you mind if I go play golf with my buddies?' That's how I am about the show. I love it. If there's a song I don't like, I cut it and bring in a new song. Everything is something I want to do. So to be here tonight, supporting this cause ? and it couldn't have been a more generous crowd if it tried ? in every way it was great."

These are photos of Hugh Jackman over the weekend at the San Sebastian film festival where he received a lifetime achievement award. He was also on hand for the photocall and premiere of Prisoners. The movie has already done quite well stateside — it’s almost recouped its production budget after 10 days. The film is a hostage-centered crime drama, which sounds stressful to make as a movie. Hugh makes it quite clear that while the film wasn’t easy, he’s not about to jump back into mutant form just because that’s more fun. He claims he’s not up to doing Wolverine again at all. Except in the bedroom, perhaps? Here’s some excerpts from a couple of new Hugh interviews:
He’s a morning whippersnapper: “I?m a morning person. The beach reminds me of the beach in the Sydney. I woke up at 8:30 in the morning and I swam. Rode my bike. The moral is, if you want to be left alone in San Sebastian, wake up early.”
No more Wolverine for him: “Great parts always outgrow the actors that play them. If you forget that, it?s at your own peril. They are working on it [X-Men] now, and it would have to be very compelling for me to do it again. I?ve been doing it for 10 years.”
He might be talked into a cameo: “I have people ask me all the time, ‘Do you think Spider-Man can beat Wolverine?’ It’s part of the DNA. Marvel wanted me to do a cameo in the first Spider-Man, but I couldn’t find my suit. I could have turned up before it was such a big deal. But I don’t have that kind of power to make it happen.”
On being a sex symbol: “Here;s the thing. No one was looking at me when I was 16 thinking of me as the sexiest man alive. Why doesn?t it come when you need it, when you’re 20, 21? Not when you?ve been married for 15 years, and you wake up in the morning and say ?Hey baby,? and she says, ?Take out the garbage.’”
On Prisoners: “The job is to pretend as convincingly as you can. A lot of people think that means you have to dive into yourself, but I feel it’s diving into the people around you, the other actors and the director. And when I come home, I feel like I’ve played a game of rugby and have a bath and I’m fine. It is cathartic.”

You know what this tells me? Unlike Johnny Depp (who’s running back with his scarfy tail between his legs to the Jack Sparrow role), Hugh truly has lasting power. He refuses to stagnate as an actor. Good for him. I don’t think Hugh was throwing shade any other actor with his comments. He’s just ready to move on, you know? I’d be tired of wearing sideburns after a decade too. Hopefully, he’ll never do another Baz Luhrman movie again either. That sh-t was insufferable.

Pitching in on promotions for his new flick "Prisoners" (now in theaters), Hugh Jackman attended the 61st San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain on Friday (September 27).
While rocking a casual ensemble, the "Wolverine" star stopped to enjoy a photo op with the crowd of fans waiting for him outside before heading into the Kursaal Palace.
Recently, the 44-year-old actor opened up to The Telegraph about his wife Deborra-Lee Furness and how much she and their children mean to him.
"Debs has strength and a lot of courage. She is very grounded," Mr. Jackman explained. "Our family matters more than anything - and I mean anything."
Hugh continued, "At the Oscars when i put my hand on my heart, that's a sign to Debs out there, a reminder that this is what matters and that all the rest - the awards and the money and the fame - may come and go."
"There'll be times when I'm flavor of the month, times when I'm not. But Debs and my kids are what matters to me," he added.

“Always and forever” came to mind immediately when I saw this cover of Town & Country featuring the formidable Hugh Jackman. It also is the perfect way to describe Hugh’s relationship with his wife of 17 years, that lucky bitch Deborra-Lee Furness. I honestly don’t dislike Deborra-Lee despite how jealous I am of her. There’s something so sweet about her relationship with Hugh, and I can’t hear enough about the two of them. I love it when they talk about each other and when Deb humble brags about Hugh. They adore each other, and it comes across as genuine to me and not like they’re trying to prove anything. So that’s why I particularly enjoyed this interview. Here’s some of what they told Town & Country, with more at the source. The article is primarily a profile of Hugh and Deborra, and they only give a few good quotes:
On trying to wait 6 months to propose to Deborra but only lasting four
“I decided, I won’t ask her to marry me for six months. Then after four months I thought, That’s the most ridiculous rule!”
Deborra on her charity work
“I’m working with Americans to create an international campaign to shine a light on the fact that there are 153 million orphans in the world. If that were a country, it would be the ninth-largest in the world, just ahead of Russia.”
Deborra on if she likes Hugh with a beard
“I do. But I like him clean-shaven. But I like him all ways: chubby, muscley, skinny. I?m always having affairs. Don?t make that headline.”
[From Town & Country]
I like Hugh with a beard, but one that’s much more close cut than this. He definitely needs to shave his neck. That said, these are some sexy photos, right? I want to smack that hand, unless it’s Deborra’s hand, in which case I’ll grudgingly tolerate it. Damn that hand model.
Oh and Town & Country points out that Jackman earned $55 million last year, making him the third highest paid actor behind Robert Downey Jr. and Channing Tatum. He certainly earned it. The Wolverine cleaned up at the box office.

Hugh Jackman fans should ready themselves for an onslaught of Aussie goodness in the coming weeks as he prepares for the release of The Wolverine. As such, Hugh covers the August issue of Hugh Jackman, and I do adore Hugh, but this is one of the cheesiest covers he’s ever done, right? I mean, it’s par for the course with Good Housekeeping, but it’s still hilarious. The magazine hasn’t released any good excerpts yet, but they have revealed a few tidbits, including that Hugh’s “recipe for romance” is “surprise.” Hugh told the publication, “If I bring Deb flowers every Tuesday, yeah, it?s nice, but is it romantic? Especially when a couple has children, so much of life is about your routine.” Then he revealed how he once surprised Deborrah by pretending he wouldn’t be home until very late and then arriving home early from a film set to sweep her off to a lunch at their favorite restaurant. That’s sweet, and I’m sure it was a much appreciated gesture and just the right amount of spontaneity without throwing an entire day’s schedule out of whack.
Hugh’s also entered the press conference realm (he is shown below at NYC’s Mandarin Oriental hotel), and he sat down for an interview with the Mail while recently in Montreal. Hugh has previously spoken about how his mother abandoned him with he was 8 years old, and touches more upon the topic (as well as many others) here:
On the appeal of Wolverine: “Kids can relate to it. Every teenager feels murderous and marginalised — just like the mutants in X-Men. I was bullied by my big brother. Playing Wolverine makes me think how I used to fight with my brother. He used to call me poofter and sissy for being interested in dancing. And by the time he said there was nothing wrong with that, I was too old. I was 18 then.?
He was abandoned by his mother at age 8: “She saw me off to school wearing a towel round her head and when I came back she was gone. Two days later there was a telegram saying she was in England. It took me years to realise it wasn’t temporary. I?ve been reunited with Mum since. We see each other four or five times a year.”
Is he lowering himself with a comic-book character? “I find it interesting. If I didn?t I?d get out. I was given three pages of script. [My wife] read them and said, ‘There are words like *kerpow* here.’ She thought it was beneath me. I was working with Trevor Nunn at the National Theatre (playing Curly in the 1998 production of Oklahoma). It?s the only time my wife has ever been wrong — and you can quote me on that.”
He gained 25 pounds in 12 weeks for the role: “The problem is my height. I’m 6ft 2in and lean but in the books he?s 5ft 3in and stocky. Part of the bulking-up was to make me look squatter — more Mike Tyson than Hugh Jackman. He was a touchstone because he?s ruthless and has that Wolverine build.”
Never meet your idols: “I said, ‘Good day Mr Eastwood, Hugh Jackman.’ He said, ‘Yeah, I know.’ So I said, ‘I’ve been told I occasionally look like you in films.’ And Mr Eastwood replied, ‘You’re holding up the line, kid.’ Well, I still watch his movies for inspiration …”
The trials of wearing claws: “In my living room, I?d walk around wearing the claws, to get used to them. I?ve got scars on one leg, punctures through the cheek, on my forehead.” But he stuck at it. “No one apart from Sean Connery has been in so many films in the same franchise.”
On his Wolverine fitness plan: “I used to go to the gym and see these guys pumping iron and I thought they were idiots. In what situation could you need to bench 350lb? I never understood the addiction, it?s just painful. But that?s what I do to become Wolverine.” Worse is the diet. “It’s not good for me to eat 6,000 calories a day. I have to eat a dozen eggs every day. I worry I’ll have a heart attack.”
It’s not all bad: “I shouldn?t gripe so much about what I have to do to become Wolverine. One thing that is good about having the body I have is it makes you more physically imposing. People back away when you?re in a crowd and give you more space.”
What went wrong with Australia? “Dunno. Was it a failure? I?m really proud of it, an epic about my homeland. Fantastic! I loved working with Baz. I guess somehow it didn?t catch fire at the box office.”
[From Daily Mail]
Aww, I feel kind of bad about Hugh’s feelings on Australia. It’s not his fault that the movie was an overwrought mess with hardly any commercial appeal whatsoever. It must be pretty crushing (to both him and Nicole Kidman) to try and honor one’s homeland in an epic film only to have it come crashing down. I remember reading that Baz hadn’t even finished editing the film until a few days before it was set to hit theaters. Yikes.
You know what’s even crazier about the fact that Hugh had to regain all that weight to play Wolverine in this latest movie? Well, he also had a false alarm a few years ago when the movie was set to begin production in spring 2011, but Darren Aronofsky dropped out of the movie at the last moment. So the entire production was postponed for several months, and then Hugh had to go and regain all of that muscle yet another time. He also had to lose and regain more weight for Les Miserables too. Ouch.
Now for absolutely no reason at all, here are some photos of Hugh riding a scooter around NYC’s West Village on 5/13. He’s adorable.

Making the most of his time in New York City, Hugh Jackman stepped out to promote his new movie ?The Wolverine? this morning (July 12).
The ?Les Miserables? star looked a bit preoccupied with his mobile phone as he carried a bottled beverage through a crowd of fans and shutterbugs en route to an appearance.
In a recent interview, Hugh explained the secret behind his seventeen-year marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness- ?From day one, we were best mates. We just clicked. We were giggling and laughing - we just connected.?
?Deb is the last one to bed and the first one up in the morning. You know those dolls that, when you lie them down, their eyes close? And as soon as they?re vertical, their eyes open? That?s Deb. It?s almost annoying. She has two speeds: Stop and Go. She is always, ?Let?s do this, let?s do that.? And she is very funny, very quick.?
?My number one rule for romance is surprise. If I bring Deb flowers every Tuesday, yeah, it?s nice, but is it romantic? Especially when a couple has children, so much of life is about your routine.?
