  • Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds have more chemistry than a lot of actual couples.
  • @ajgharials
    My heart just sings with deep love for Hugh. What an absolute gentleman of a person! They simply donโ€™t make them like him anymore.
  • @Mr_-Heisenberg
    Hugh Is such a humble down to earth and genuinely good personality. God bless him
  • @GrandFyre
    Hugh Jackman was actually hilarious in this interview. For such an amazing and accomplished actor that he is in serious films, heโ€™s a total comedic goofball in his natural form. Love it. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ
  • @mooreandless

    I can't get used to his real accent...Hugh playing Wolverine was perfection.
  • @RayMak
    The wolverine experience is godlike. Also he's so honest with his bladder issue. It's not easy!
  • @chrisbryan89
    Heโ€™s got to be one of the most likeable people on earth. What a genuine, friendly guy. At the top of my list of people I would love to toss a few back with.
  • @sashana8310
    I met Hugh back in 2016. It was a freezing cold day & he took the time to stop & take a picture with me. An absolute legend in person.
  • @pyndzel8117
    Hugh and Keanu are the realest in Hollywood! So kind and genuine people. Love them
  • Hugh isn't just a good actor, he's also a great storyteller, so he can perfectly be a stand up comedian. On the other hand, Logan turns 5 years of its release, and I find difficult to get over a superhero's death who you always admired, and you guess he was inmortal. I apologized, if i got emotional, what happens Logan, as a movie, is so meaningful to me. So if i had Hugh face to face, I'd tell him; "thank you Hugh for making everyone's childhood through X-Men's movies".
  • Props to both crew and staff from both shows for pulling this switch off and keeping it a secret ..Aunt Chippy was great on the other show and Jimmy did great on thank you notes too !! This is fun ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š
  • @basslin3r
    So happy Hugh is back doing musicals, I met him back in 2004 when I worked at the local performing arts centre, he was doing Boy from Oz.. he was so amazing.
  • @a1st532
    Wow, Wolverine does NOT age! So talented- saw him on Broadway's "Boy From Oz." He sang/tap danced his butt off!
