Hugh Jackman has a lot of personalities, you just love seeing him.

[@thestranger4812]

Really got to hand it to George. Most American talk-show hosts would just have asked trivial bullshit questions and then interrupted the guests every few seconds. George gets great stories out of them, and let them talk. Fantastic host!

[@agirlnamedsven9574]

he's NOT American!

[@sportsmed77]

Well George is Canadian.

[@thestranger4812]

sportsmed77 I never said he was American, I just compared him to those.

[@foljs5858]

> Well George is Canadian. And a whole lot of Greek.

[@winterramos4527]

What I love about George is that he really does his homework. Journalism isn't as easy as some people think. George has it nailed and also he doesn't interrupt the guest in the middle of there conversation. We respect you George and keep doing your thing. NYC Baby!!

[@winterramos4527]

@Quentin Hayden 6yrs later and we got an answer

[@AwesomestAmberMVS]

I wish this show was more well known. The interviewer is so good, its very refreshing.

[@louisethompson8350]

If you think this was a good interview check out his interview with Prince Charles he made Charles likeable.

[@orlandobrown9289]

He was s hater to other celebs. Chronic agitator triggering people indirectly. Watch his interview with vanilla ice. Watch the subliminals really watch. Then youll know. By the way he is grown now in his 40s hes amazed me too.

[@mabermabert1101]

This is the first time Ive ever watched this show and what a fantastic host. He asks excellent questions and lets the guest really talk.

[@1LeiaPrincess]

WHAT a nice interview!!! The interviewer (George?sorry i'm not familiar) was so cool, so many interesting questions , no "trying to sound smarter and "steal the thunder" of the person i'm actually interviewing", no stupid jokes every 10 seconds,no cliche questions, no interrupting the guest ...just.... BRAVO!

[@Suebee29]

He's gorgeous ♥

[@janiehallls]

lovely lovely lovely...just lovely...and even more....

[@pullhoodie]

He and his wife are beautiful people... I just love them so much :D Hugh is one of the few celebrities that's worthy of people looking up to him.

[@dewgydewg]

This guy has to be one of the best interviewers around at the moment. He knows exactly what he is talking about, asks questions that you wont find the answers to in every other interview, and obviously makes his guests feel very comfortable!

[@MeMyBestFrnd]

Great questions...lovely answers

[@spazzy69]

He's a wonderful man - makes me proud to be Australian.

[@DarkholmeRR]

that was me he shouted out at 07:05 ... got to meet him before and after. I was star struck and he was such a gentleman

[@TheMelani50]

Yes, George is a great interviewer. Wish we had more like him!

[@Za3rour]

excellent interview. excellent.

[@lottianne]

What a fantastic interview. This guy is an incredibly perceptive interviewer......asks the best questions. Fantastic. Hugh is awesome as always.

[@catlynekeuh]

Omg best interview ever or what.

[@TheSlavinkataKrisi_Love_SRK]

Hugh is wonderful...My favorite Hollywood actor..

[@nancythepantsy]

Laughed soooo hard at the "V" nickname thing

[@rosh181992]

[@janiebigham1]

[@FazartOrganization]

That's George for you.. Great Canadian!

[@dragoonism]

This guy is a perfect example of active listening.

[@sanaasmilelines]

[@DrowsyPotato]

The interviewer is fking amazing!

[@Iamgracewilson]

Happy 43rd Birthday Hugh Jackman!!

[@xbloodybitchx]

what a great interview!! george clearly did his research

[@barbaradavis1402]

Great interview

[@adad-ec6ht]

All these stupid girls here are saying how handsome, lovely, weird,,, funny Jackman is. Nobody realizes that he is actually very intelligent.

[@eventhorizon]

He's freakin' awesome... like when he talks about his past- forgiving him mom for stuff, getting into meditation... he's really interesting in a way that it's sad people miss if they're caught up in the superficial.

[@FairyAsmr]

I do ❤

[@Wopp1992]

hugh jackman seems like a down to earth guy i've always liked him as an actor , deff gettin ready for new wolverine !

[@jamesyang6165]

[@GINA6063]

aaaawwww ! Jackman is lovely, very handsome and beautiful accent ! aaawwwww !

[@MusicRox88]

George is a very good interviewer, he asks interesting questions and seems pretty interested in general.

[@LIMEGREEN2772]

George is well liked, loved, and respected, especially in Canada, because he IS Canadian. Has anyone heard of MuchMusic? (Before they played stupid reality shows.) Rick? Rachael?

[@user-hr8fq5qb4v]

He is greek

[@MrTechselect]

[@soulcornflake1]

This guy is one of the top 3 interviewers on North American TV (US and Canada). The other two are Charlie Rose and Craig Ferguson.

[@pokesyourcheek]

"ah! no, they're mah claws man" xD oh Hugh, you are awesome

[@likeyouornot]

[@rositapam5010]

[@AnonimusWho]

I didn't know Wolverine could play Hugh Jackman that good

[@LondoninColouredRain]

I close my eyes and just hear Bunnymund :'D

[@rockytheafg]

No doubt about that

[@tina2deadly]

Yeah, he was in the Paperback hero and the prison tv show where he met his wife. All aussies knew him before xmen but xmen made him recognized by the worlds...

[@rockytheafg]

Is it me or the interviewer is just fking amazing

[@Tawnosus]

[@StrawberryCream78]

Canadian show?

[@TheWolverineiscool]

hugh rules!

[@LoveOrBeHated]

0 dislikes. that is Hugh for ya

[@soulcornflake1]

I've never seen Jian Ghomeshi. I have seen George S. though.

[@HelloFade2]

So I have to ask,did anyone outside of Australia know who Hugh Jackman was before the first X-Men movie came out ?

[@RiceCookah]

He's Canadian so is the show

[@MatsuriAndGaara281]

THIS GUY. IS SMART.

[@ximenaaguirremena6329]

amo a wolverine = o

[@Moiez101]

oh lord. i'm straight but i'm reconsidering just for him...

[@waynegretzky3895]

wolverine an aussiye playing a canadian i love cit ciao.

[@JDMulraney]

@PQVidya man your not allowed to talk about Fight Club....

[@smashinova]

I think its cos the American talk shows are host focused, whereas everywhere else its the guest focused

[@rosh181992]

he should teach how to interview celebrities!

[@666Crenado]

Good interviewer, seems interested, not just cracking his own jokes, and Hugh kicks ass, and i don't know what Hugh was on about with his 'sux swearing' too much time on American tv i guess.

[@TheMMOKiller]

He does that because he has a graphic where he has to do his job and get through everything in a particular time. that's why they don't let you talk so much o.O

[@TheAllBlue139]

hahahhahahhahahaahha claws thing in the plain :D

[@footyfan101ful]

I wonder who Hugh would of played on Neighbours. I bet it would of been Dr Karl.

[@amy4eve2]

Yes...actually believe it or not,i dont tell a lie either my friend,well i suppose you wouldnt really call it "knowing him" But before his audition for x-men back stage in the loby i was there auditioning to,and you know i told him good luck Mr.jackman,and he looked back and said thankyou,and so..ya i suppose i could say i new him...but i mean now..pfft who doesnt know him!

[@kimit91]

[@LoveOrBeHated]

@only1hughj I know right, Hugh

[@messihair92]

Which one? :P

[@LoveOrBeHated]

he's so legit.

[@only1hughj]

@LoveOrBeHated :D :D :D great minds think alike

[@rachelliu82]

His mon abandoned the family when he was eight years old, his dad grow up the five kids by himself. When he told his dad he would marry that woman, his dad doubt it’s his mistake....

[@kyliesorenson2114]

rachelliu82 his mom had custody of 2 of the children, he didnt raise all of them on his own. + im pretty sure they all visited their mom plenty.

[@Aspie37]

Australian actors should be in Australia!

[@juliawillc]

Garry Burge Love Aussies.

[@only1hughj]

he has the luckiest wife in the world...

[@roter13]

the fact that hugh does not have any biological children is a robbery

[@onlyyehavah]

It really is, its sad what him and his wife went through but dammit to hell. It breaks my heart that one day he will leave this place and have no biological children to carry on his seed.

[@SamAM16]

But the GOOD thing is that he and Deb have instead adopted children, even though it's only two, they've adopted children and given them lives just as loving.

[@juliawillc]

roter13 he needs to make donations to sperm banks.

[@judiannelee2323]

they didnt teach him stolen generations? NOW at school they are throwing book of stolen generations at us.. great interview

[@lisamuller68]

Hugh's top bottom is about to explode every moment now... xD

[@isatisblablah4067]

Wide boy 6.

[@SomeTotalRandom]

how is this man in his 40s?

[@dasalekhya]

Jackman's EARS are weird

[@rayprime8530]

he's the wolverine.

[@lara6938]

He played rugby when he was younger.

[@juliawillc]

Hugh Jackman is perfection.

[@sportlife19]

Damn he dnt look like hes 42 he looks like 32 psh

[@jrat92]

Looks like Ted Bundy, I swear it!

[@Kasino80]

how does he explain x-men origins then...lot of special effects and not much else

[@rachelliu82]

@only1hughj I am jealousy of his wife

[@Mookie70]

Booooooooo!

[@jadetiger88888]

yes he should have a lot of biological kids!

[@kyliesorenson2114]

jadetiger88888 his wife had a lot of problems with getting pregnant, she had a few miscarriages. very sad.

[@PearlsOfDust]

Not if you've seen his wife.
