Hugh Jackman was born on October 12, 1968, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. However, both his mother Grace McNeil and father Christopher John were UK-born immigrants, and thus Jackman holds both Australian and British citizenship.

It is no surprise that Jackman's acting career, which began in 1994, has resulted in several major roles throughout the past two decades. The 53-year-old multitalented performer has headlined box office hits, fan favorites, and critically acclaimed works alike, including Van Helsing, Les Miserables, The Prestige, Prisoners, The Front Runner, and Bad Education. As evident from his lengthy list of musical film roles, Jackman is also known for his singing ability. In fact, he has also had numerous stage performances such as in Oklahoma! and The Boy from Oz.

The Aussie actor's most iconic role is undoubtedly Wolverine, a character he first played in the 2000 superhero film X-Men. The movie became one of the early superhero box-office hits, earning $296 million. Thanks to his performance and the widespread recognition, Jackman skyrocketed to A-lister status. He has reprised his role numerous times since then, even earning him the Guinness World Record of “longest career as a live-action Marvel character” at a total of 17 years alongside co-star Patrick Stewart. The two last co-starred together as Wolverine and Professor X in the acclaimed 2017 film Logan. Jackman and Stewart's tenure was later officially broken by Tobey Maguire and Willem Dafoe, both whom reprised their roles in Spider-Man: No Way Home, 19 years after the first installment of Sam Raimi's original Spider-Man film trilogy. However, Stewart did return as a multiverse version of Charles Xavier in 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, also directed by Raimi.

Perhaps his biggest performance post-Wolverine in terms of audience was  P.T. Barnum in the 2017 musical drama The Greatest Showman, co-starring Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya. The film earned over $400 million in the box office, and its soundtrack became a commercial success, topping charts in several countries.

Some of the major accolades throughout his decades under the spotlight include a Grammy Award, two Tony Awards, an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award nomination. On top of everything else, his prolific career was also enough for him to be appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia during the 2019 Queen's Birthday Honours.

A man of Jackman's fame is also unsurprisingly the face of many high-profile brands. These include Keurig, R.M. Williams, Micromax, and Montblanc. In 2005, he and his longtime assistant John Palermo also formed a production company called Seed Productions. It closed five years later in 2010 after Jackman decided to pour his focus on acting, while Palermo went to 20th Century Fox for a producing deal.

Outside of his Hollywood and Broadway career, the 53-year-old Sydney native has long been a family man. He married fellow Australian actor Deborra-Lee Furness on April 11, 1996, in Toorak, Victoria. Jackman met Furness on the set of the TV show Correlli. The couple has since adopted two children, Oscar and Ava. The family of four currently lives in New York.

The Wolverine actor is also known for his charitable efforts. He uses his huge social media following to promote campaigns, including a 2009 post where he revealed $50,000 donations each to Charity: Water and Operation of Hope. Jackman is also global advisor to the Global Poverty Project, and he has even narrated a documentary for them. He and his wife also serve as patrons of the Bone Marrow Institute in Australia.

In 2011, Jackman launched the Laughing Man Coffee Company, eventually establishing two cafes in Lower Manhattan. According to their website, Laughing Man Coffee was inspired by Dukale, a coffee farmer Jackman met in Ethiopia. In line with that, the company invests in The Laughing Man Foundation, which supports coffee farming communities through investment in programs that benefit coffee farmers and their families.

Despite an extensive film and stage resume many actors have only dreamed of, Jackman continues to give out award-worthy performances. He most recently played Nicolas Bannister in the 2021 neo-noir sci-fi thriller Reminiscence, and will co-star alongside Laura Dern in upcoming drama film The Son. Meanwhile, he most recently played Harold Hill in The Music Man's most recent Broadway revival.
