Hugh Jackman – Born in 1968

For many international movie watchers, the name that pops into their head when we say, “Aussie movie star” is that of Hollywood A-lister, Hugh Jackman. The down-to-earth theatre trained actor and singer landed his first role in the Australian drama, Correlli, and he even went on to marry the leading actress from the show! After his breakthrough role as Wolverine in X-Men, Hugh was cast in various roles in Hollywood blockbusters such as Van Helsing, The Prestige, Les Misérables and The Greatest Showman. He’s pretty much our country’s ambassador to the world!
