Hugh Jackman Used His Wolverine Casting to Avoid Getting Deported | The Tonight Show

Hugh Jackman was actually hilarious in this interview. For such an amazing and accomplished actor that he is in serious films, he’s a total comedic goofball in his natural form. Love it. 👏🏼

[@sebastianalegria3401]

Hugh isn't just a good actor, he's also a great storyteller, so he can perfectly be a stand up comedian. On the other hand, Logan turns 5 years of its release, and I find difficult to get over a superhero's death who you always admired, and you guess he was inmortal. I apologized, if i got emotional, what happens Logan, as a movie, is so meaningful to me. So if i had Hugh face to face, I'd tell him; "thank you Hugh for making everyone's childhood through X-Men's movies".
