Hugh Jackman Tells The Hilarious Story Of His ‘Wolverine’ Audition

It’s tough to think all the way back to the year 2000 (I was just 10 years old at the time), and it’s even harder to think that Hugh Jackman was ever not one of the biggest names in Hollywood.

Just over a decade ago, Jackman played the leading role of Curly in London’s West End adaptation of Oklahoma. It was at this time that he (and everyone else in the world) would audition for the role of Wolverine in Bryan Singer’s X-Men. The rest of course, is history.

Watch him tell the hilarious and inspiring story in an interview with SiriusXM below. Jackman’s highly anticipted next film, The Wolverine, opens on July 24th!
