The actor might be best known for playing “X-Men’s” Wolverine (in movies that son Oscar, 11, daughter Ava, 6, have yet to see), but Hugh’s kids are all about giant boxing robots.
“This is the first time they’ve really connected with one of my films. I don’t let them watch ‘X-Men,’” Hugh told Access Hollywood at the “Real Steel” junket in Los Angeles on Saturday.
“Most of the time they don’t really ask me much about my job. They come on set, but it’s just dad, it’s normal,” he continued. “This is the first time they were like, ‘We love this!’ And they wanna take their friends. They have all the action figures. My son sleeps with Adam the robot.”
Hugh said that his son’s love of the “Real Steel” script helped seal the deal on him doing the movie.
“I read this script for the first time with my son… I was like being a bad parent and instead of reading ‘Tintin,’
I read ‘Real Steel’ and my son made me read it to him for the next 10 nights,” he explained. “So, I knew we were on to a winner then.”
Hugh also chatted with Access about his recent WWE appearance where he was seen going “Real Steel” on wrestler Dolph Ziggler’s face.
“It is scripted entertainment, but I gotta tell you, what goes on in that ring is real!” he told Access. “[Dolph] is looking at me saying, ‘You hit me man!’ He goes, ‘Don’t you embarrass me out there.’ So I take direction well.”
Jackman will perform what he calls a personal selection of favorite musical numbers reflecting his varied career, including The Boy From Oz on Broadway, Oklahoma!
on the London stage and much more. The star has concentrated on movies and stage drama (A Steady Rain) in recent years, but he returned to his musical roots in acclaimed pre-Broadway concert engagements in San Francisco and Toronto.
