When one thinks of Australia, a few specific things come to mind. Great cricket teams, a big rock in the middle of nowhere, shrimps on the barbie, and Hugh Jackman.

Hugh Michael Jackman was born on October 12th, 1968 in Sydney Australia. As the youngest of five children Jackman had a fairly typical upbringing. That is until, at the age of eight, his mother left the family and it was up to his father to raise the five siblings. Although tough growing up without a mother in the house, Jackman was supported by his father and older siblings and fondly recollects his childhood. As a graduate from The University of Technology in Sydney, Jackman got his first taste of professional acting on stage in various musicals across Melbourne. Gifted with a natural flair for acting and a wonderful singing voice, the young Sydney native took to the stage like a platypus to water. After a long and successful stint touring theatres across Australia, Jackman decided to spread his wings and take his talents to an international stage, earning numerous awards and critical praise from theatre critics for his potrayals of Curly in Oklahoma! and Billy Bigelo in Carousel. From London’s West End to New York’s Broadway, Hugh Jackman was a big deal in theatre but it would be his portrayal as a genetically mutated Canadian that would turn him into a global film superstar.
