Hugh Jackman’s fame is undeniably above the cloud as he appeared in MCU’s one of the most successful long-running franchises, X-Men. The Wolverine actor made his way into Hollywood with his breakthrough role as Logan in the series.
Now, Jackman is a huge star and has worked with several industry prominent directors including Christopher Nolan. The actor recently reprised his role as Logan in Ryan Reynolds starrer Shawn Levy-directed Deadpool 3.
Paparazzi and Hugh Jackman
It seems obvious that Hugh Jackman would be surrounded by paparazzi. After all, he redefined the character of Logan aka Wolverine, and that made him stupendously famous. However, the actor has a different opinion of the paparazzi. In conversation with Mary Poppins Returns actor Emily Blunt, Jackman revealed on Variety’s Actors on Actors that his pictures do not sell that well. Although the actor gets the paparazzi sometimes, it’s not that frequent.
“We get them [paparazzi] occasionally but not them. My picture doesn’t sell at all. Like I think that paparazzi, it’s way better to be dating. Right? Partying, that kind of thing it’s not being together 23 years it’s really not selling a lot,” Jackman said.
The actor also revealed that at some point the paparazzi are familiar as the actor would say, “Oh, it’s you.” Of course, it is hard to digest for any Jackman fan. But the reason for fewer encounters with the paparazzi is still unknown and why his picture doesn’t sell, that also poses a huge doubt over the media industry. But most recently, the actor was seen on the set of Deadpool 3 wearing the classic yellow Wolverine suit alongside Ryan Reynolds and those pictures have gone viral and it raised up the heat of the hype of the film.
Hugh Jackman Can Do A Few Spins
Jackman’s capability of doing a few spins, perhaps, came from the stage musical career he had until 2000. When Blunt asked Jackman about his spins in The Greatest Showman, The actor said that he can do a few spins.
“I can do a couple of spins. I can only go one direction though. So they choreograph it for me and they’d choreograph the entire thing turning right that the whole cast and I after about. I was like, I can do that, I can do that and then after about, they said, ‘alright can you all you guys turn left?’ and of course I turn left.
Jackman also revealed that he had worked on the film for eight years. Producer Laurence Mark approached the actor to do a musical and “from that moment to bring the movie released was eight years,” Jackman said. However, the hardest part of the film was music.
“There’s that I actually didn’t hear this saying till after the movie came out but my agent said to me a musical works because of the book. But people love it because of the music. Yeah, so, if you haven’t got the music obviously you’re in real trouble, that’s it. And we had these, so, the studio said let’s have the writer of the day. the famous writer of the day to write songs. We’ll have five we’ll have Pharrell, we’ll have Bruno Mars. Well I have a bunch of people will have cool songs we can play them on the radio. It’ll be all of that stuff and these young guys just an immense somehow got through wrote a song that was in our kind of first three.”
Later, the actor said, they “wrote another so there were two or five, and by the end.” The actor admitted that the songs made the essence of the movie but the process of making the song took a while.
