Admitedly I knew nothing of Hugh until the imminent filming of the first of undoubtely many X-MEN movies, and acutally it wasn't even the 'actor' so much as Wolverine that I first became infatuated with. I've been a fan of the X-MEN for a long time and Wolverine was always my guy. When it was initially determined that Bryan Singer had cast Dougray Scott as this luscious adamantium infused canuck I was fairly content, but when Jackman got the final call, I became instantly intrigued. The mounting media coverage had me totally psyched. Wolverine is without a doubt the greatest comic to screen conversion in the history of the known universe - and it's entirely because of Hugh. Obviously Hugh is spine meltingly beautiful - utterly ravishing, totally hot (you get the point), but I think what impresses and endears me the most to Hugh is his infinite love for his wife Deborra-Lee and their young son Oscar Maximillian. Naturally Hugh isn't the only man to be this way towards his family, but there's just something about him - he exudes pure bliss at the thought of them. And that makes him sexier that what a tight body and and soulful face ever could. Besides, how can you not love a scruffy mutant who brawls in a dirt n' beer bar in upper Alberta, but can also sing show tunes?! Oh yes, I nearly forgot - I really admire his incredible eyebrow control and dexterity! ;)

I think the reason that I became so intrigued was the way he gave three dimensionality to a character that many of us have loved for years. "Wolverine" has been my favorite X-Men as long as I can remember and I think that Hugh did an incredible job making him a "real" character. He brought forth his strength and "bad-assness" in the fight scenes, vulnerability when it came to dealing with matters of the heart and people he cared about, ie: Rogue and Jean, and by conveying a multitude of these characteristics, he also made "Wolverine" a very real character that the audience could identify with. I mean, who hasn't ever felt like an outsider or unaccepted, I know I have a number of times in my life. And, for me, I'm a sucker for that "tough-guy" persona, and one who can be a smart ass and adorable at the same time! As for the other aspects of Hugh - all I have to say is those pecs!!! (after the "fight" scene with Jean), that smile, the intensity of his glare, those green eyes, those arms, I could go on and on and on.And, that smile...whoever knew a mutant could be so sexy? :)

Why I Love Hugh ~ By Lt. Flounder (why do I feel like I'm back in school??) I have to admit, I was clueless when it came to Hugh. I couldn't find much about him at first. Then, little by little, things started to pop up. I was interested in the movie from the beginning - no matter what Singer was doing! So, with breathless anticipation, I watched and waited, following as closely as I could to the reports. I caught a glimpse here, and peek there. Then, I saw Hugh. WOW! Do those Down Under have it lucky! Now, I hope they'll share! He took my breath away in the film, allowing me to feel and understand the movie through his eyes. Not many an actor could do this. I was impressed with his talent and after seeing interviews and reading the articles, I'm impressed with him overall. Truly a gifted actor, with a promising future! I'm hooked! Long Live Hugh!

Why I like Hugh: He's funny, handsome, charming, can sing really well, he's nice in real life, friendly, has a great smile, tall, well built, sounds like a caring husband and father, strong.... what else could you want in a man?

I love Hugh Jackman mainly because of his brilliant portrayal of Wolverine; it was absolutely perfect. He brought a depth and a realism to our beloved Wolvie that I don't think anyone else could have. He was everything that, IMHO, Wolverine should be. Plus he's just so gosh-darned cute!!!(vbg)

I fell for Wolverine to start with, but after I saw a short interview with him on CNN, I started to really like the actor. He's handsome, talented, and any man who does the "Thriller" dance while wearing a Wolverine costume is pretty cool in my book.
