Why Jackman's role as Jonathan Kent in Superman Returns was removed. Leader Vladimir — Preceding undated comment added 17:20, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

You are the only person who knows why the misinformation was put on Hugh Jackman's page in the first place. After all, you are the person who did it.

And, while we are on the subject of Hugh Jackman, completely blanking the page is what is called Vandalism. Please do not blank any other Wikipedia pages, including Hugh Jackman's page, in future. Figaro 13:24, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Jackman in Diapers?

In an interview with Erik Hedegard, called X-POSING HUGH JACKMAN, when asked if he had any fetishes, Jackman admitted that he "really likes dressing in diapers and shitting in them." However, he quickly retracted the statement and dismissed it as a joke, saying "well, I'm not into that. I just happen to know a lot about it Ha, ha![1] 86.142.62.17 10:30, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

He "pumped petrol"?

I am wondering about this point - I am familiar with the petrol station the article says he worked at and as far as I know it has never employed attendants to fill cars. In fact, people being paid to "pump gas" is a practice which does not happen anywhere in Sydney, or Australia, that I know of.

It doesn't happen these days but it used to be extremely common for petrol station attendants to come out and fill the tank for you. I remember it even in my lifetime (and I'm under 30!). (And yes, obviously Australian :) ) I haven't been to Wahroonga Shell however.124.169.117.197 (talk) 11:53, 20 November 2008 (UTC)Carly

I think this might be a cultural mis-translation. Unless anyone can find proof otherwise, I think the wording should be changed to "worked at Wahroonga Shell".

• I'm working on the post production for the upcoming Hugh Jackman A&E Biography program, and they said in his background that Hugh "pumped gas at a Shell station." shortly after the first commercial break.

Vandalism!

Whoa, this line "Before acting, Jackman starred in a number of Adult Pornographic Films" by 195.93.21.4 is that true? It seems more like vandalism to me. I'm going to delete this line for now, until someone can provide links. Vera26 10:18, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

There is way too much constant vandalism on Hugh Jackman's wikipage. 216.9.250.6 just decided to write of Hugh's "untimely death" in the Trivia page. Vera26 10:23, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I deleted the Dr. in Perry Cox so that it links to the article of the Scrubs character Perry Cox. Can someone please look into making the Dr.Perry Cox page redirect to the Perry Cox page? OSFockewolf 04:19, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Why would you simply delete something that you find hard to believe? There are many, many posts on the Internet and elsewhere making that same claim. I recently saw a post that references a San Fransisco Chronicle interview with Jackman in which he refuses to apologize for his porn start saying, "Everyone has to start somewhere in this business." Perhaps one of you obsessed fans should check into this before simply deleting a post. Check the last paragraph in this article for a hint that there may be something to this: http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2004-05-06-hugh-jackman_x.htm

Hugh's philanthropic passion is microcredit

May we add something about Hugh's strong commitment to microcredit. He is a longtime supporter of 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Muhammad Yunus, who is the Founder and Managing Director of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh.

Hugh's father is an economist and told Hugh about Dr. Yunus many years ago. Since then, Hugh has been quoted in at least one article (last month's "O" Magazine) saying Dr. Yunus' autobiography, Banker to the Poor," is the most important book he has ever read.

For his most recent birthday, his staff at Seed Productions made a donation to Grameen Shikkha (early childhood education program in Bangladesh launched by Grameen Bank) in his name. 64.242.253.194 (talk) 22:45, 12 December 2007 (UTC)JBL

If you have the proper citation(s) and include it/them, then you can post in the information in the "Other pursuits and interests" section. Softlavender (talk) 04:21, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

• Update: I added two sentences on that to the "Other pursuits" section. Softlavender (talk) 14:30, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Hugh is not the youngest

According to an interview on the BBC, Hugh while in his early 20's had an 11-year old sister who was in England before he had his first role on Neighbors and hired his current agent, Penny.

Wiki states that he is the youngest.

You'd have to provide a link and a verifiable source for that. As it is, that is possibly his half-sister you are talking about. Softlavender (talk) 04:58, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Request for Page Protection

Could this article please be protected. The article is being continually vandalised by both 124.186.94.176 and The Kreator to such an extent that I am not able to keep up with reverting their vandalism. Figaro (talk) 12:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

The proper procedure is to put warnings on their Talk pages, and then after appropriate warnings, to block their accounts. Softlavender (talk) 04:19, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Introduction Change

The introduction states that he is "known mostly for his roles in several major Hollywood films, including Paperback Hero and X-Men." Paperback Hero is not a major Hollywood film, and he is not well known for it. I feel like it should be removed and replaced with Van Helsing probably160.84.254.241 (talk) 20:48, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Hugh Jackman in Viva Laughlin

The page refers to Hugh Jackman and his wife being 'shocked and saddened by this cancellation' of Viva Laughlin. In the interview I saw and news stories I cannot find that reference, his wife said the couple was 'very disapointed', see numerous news references such as: http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/10/24/arts/AS-A-E-TV-Australia-Viva-Laughlin-Canceled.php

Should this be changed to reflect that without any evidence of the current statement?

212district (talk) 22:24, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

• That sentence has been deleted. There is no reason to mention it, as it goes without saying they were not overjoyed about the cancellation. We don't put such sentences every time an actor loses a part or an award or every time a television series gets cancelled. Softlavender (talk) 04:17, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Hugh Jackman as Host of the Oscars (well done! Mr. Jackman)

Hugh Jackman did a great job as the host of the Oscars! Well done, Mr. Jackman. I look forward to seeing you again next year as the host of the Oscars. You struck a nice balance of showmanship and efficient deck manager. I have thought for a long time that the Oscars should have a more classy host, like a solid actor and great song and dance man. signed John Nesbitt, Jacksonville, Fla,71.199.241.41 (talk) 23:02, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Major Cleanup done

I just did a major cleanup, organizing things properly and removing editorializing and wordiness. Note: I didn't know where to put the "Sexiest Man Alive" announcement, so I put it after Australia in the Career section, and also put it in the new "Mentions in popular culture" section (which I had to make for the Scrubs info). Frankly, I think the Scrubs info is silly and in my opinion should be deleted from the article, but I'll let someone else do that, as I don't want to be accused of removing actual information. Softlavender (talk) 04:14, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I think there is way too much information about future projects. Can't we just write the name of the project and link to imdb for more information? And some of that is just rumors or not even in pre production. Houdini is probably posponsed and will be released probably a lot later than was presumed, if at all. He's doing a play with daniel craig sometime this year. I think most of this information should be deleted. --79.177.206.193 (talk) 10:58, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Agreed about the Future Projects. See section on that at the bottom of this page. Softlavender (talk) 10:39, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Early Life needs citations

A lot of the info in the "Early life" section needs citations, especially the service station claim, the Christian workcamp claim, and the working as a clown claim. Unsourced information may be removed, especially if it lacks any relevancy. Softlavender (talk)

The early life stuff on service station, Christian workcamp and working as a clown was all correct. I grew up with Hugh and did all of these things with him. (125.63.170.98 (talk) 14:24, 13 January 2009 (UTC))

That may be so, but we need to keep the section free of trivia, irrelevancies, and uncited information. Softlavender (talk) 03:28, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Filmography: 007: The Series ???

I don't know anything about a James Bond series. That's nonsense. According to IMDb his current projects are "Guardians of Ga'Hoole" and "Drive". Please remove this entry. I tried to edit but I'm not so familiar with Wikipedia and with this kind of a table. 77.20.155.151 (talk) 20:54, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. The Filmography section has now been trimmed to reflect reality. Softlavender (talk) 03:38, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Career

Can we consolidate the career section? Dividing the section by each movie he does seems wierd, especially given the shortness of the sections. We can read paragraphs, we don't need separate sections. That said, it needs to be further samarazied. It's too long.--RossF18 (talk) 15:25, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes I agree. I think that there is too much information about his movies, I think it needs to be cut down a little. The fountain, for example, could be a few sentences shorter. There is also mention of how many times he's worked with different actors, I don't think that's necessary information. --82.81.123.247 (talk) 12:58, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

The subsections are advisable in Wikipedia articles, lest the Career section be an interminable mass of text. Right now, the three star-making productions are listed, as well as sections in-between noting a change back to stage performances, and then divisions which help highlight significant films. It is difficult and confusing to know where to insert subheadings in the career of an actor who does both stage and film, but we've tried to do the best we could. Also, I've taken out irrelevant info on full casts, but left in the info that he did multiple films with Berry and McKellan, something that may not be of interest to every single reader, but multiple partnerships are commonly noted on Wikipedia. Softlavender (talk) 12:57, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

• Update: OK, redid it -- the only one-paragraph section now is on Oklahoma, which was truly a star-making vehicle for him. I also shortened long lists of co-stars. Softlavender (talk) 15:55, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Future Projects

I have removed the following lengthy unsubstantiated text from the "Future Projects" section (added June 24, 2009 by an anonymous editor), on the grounds that it is unsourced and sounds also like a probable copyright violation. From the language alone, its not encyclopedic, and sounds like a cut & paste from some article somehere:

Hugh Jackman and Seed Productions partner John Palermo are ramping up several projects for the "Wolverine" star.

Fox and Seed are in development on a sequel to "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," which topped the domestic box office over the weekend. On 15 November 2010, it was confirmed that Darren Aronofsky would direct the film, entitled 'The Wolverine'. He made it clear that the film would not be a conventional sequel, rather a one-off.

The Seed partners have begun planning the sequel, which they are squarely focusing on the samurai storyline originated in the comic series, and whose Japanese locale was teased after the film's final credits. A writer has yet to be hired. Seed will produce.

Fox has just closed a deal to acquire "Personal Security," a spec script by Matt Lieberman. Jackman will star as a tough Gotham police detective forced into bodyguard duty for a spoiled teen heiress who is receiving kidnapping threats. Jackman and Palermo will produce with Tapestry's Michael Schreiber.

While Jackman has not set his next star vehicle, he has gotten revved up over "Drive," a Seed-produced adaptation of the James Sallis novel set up at Universal.

Jackman will play a solitary man who drives race cars by day and getaway cars by night in Los Angeles. Jackman was energized by the latest draft written by Hossein Amini, who turned in a script that Jackman said captured the tone of a Steve McQueen film.

Long-in-the-works "Carousel" is also now a priority at Fox 2000, after David Magee turned in a script that Jackman and Palermo said keeps the timeless spirit of the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic, but injects relevance for a contemporary audience. Jackman will play Billy Bigelow. On Jackman's wishlist for the role of Julie Jordan is Anne Hathaway, who dueted with him in the Oscarcast opening number. Negotiations have not begun with the actress.

Finally, Jackman, who won a Tony for "The Boy From Oz," hopes to return to the Broadway stage in early 2010 in the title role in "Houdini," with Jack O'Brien ("Hairspray") directing, Danny Elfman writing the music, and David Yazbek ("Dirty Rotten Scoundrels") writing lyrics. The book was first written by Kurt Andersen, but the producers are aiming for a rewrite. Jackman and Palermo will produce with Scott Sanders and David Rockwell.

Feel free to add the specific projects back into the section, as long as each item is sourced with a citation, and formatted with bullets according to the rest of that section. Please do not use the original language (which sounds like a press release), but rather use brief, encyclopedic language, devoid of irrelevancies, editorializing, and peacock words. Cheers, Softlavender (talk) 10:35, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

• I also removed all items from the "Filmography" box that are not actually complete and on film. They include:

2010	Carousel	Billy Bigelow	Remake of a 1956 film based on the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel.
	Unbound Captives	Tom	Will be released in the middle of 2010
	Guardians of Ga'Hoole	Voice Role	(voice)
2011	The Bodyguard	Frank Farmer	Main Role. According to The Independent. Working title: Personal Security

Something isn't "filmography" unless it's actually completely caught on film. Any or all of these projects could fall through. If someone wants to list them under "Future Projects," with citations, that would be acceptable. Softlavender (talk) 03:37, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Goodwill ambassador of Korea??

I deleted this, because the ref does not confirm in any way: "Jackman was appointed a goodwill ambassador of Seoul, South Korea on April 10, 2009.[2]" If someone finds a ref that confirms, it can be added back into the Charity section. As is, it's a doubtful claim, since he's not Korean, and the sentence doesn't say "to", it says "of". Softlavender (talk) 19:50, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

sports

Hugh Jackman has recently visited attended a football (soccer) match of the Club Nacional de Football in Montevideo Uruguay. He also showed his support for the team by becoming a socio (member) of the club, and was given official kits, books and further presents.

X-Men Movies:X-Men

The X-Men movies were very important to Hugh Jackman and his beloved fans. The first X-Men movie was, well, it can't be any more blunt, it's X-Men. Almost all of Hugh's fans were ecstatic on his amazing debut as Wolverine. In the movie, Wolverine is found fighting in a bar, then the owner finds out that he is a mutant. Then he gets found by Cyclops and Storm (Scott Summers and Aurora Monroe). They then take him to Professor Xavier and is sent to discover his past. Now, this is only a short summary of the real thing, of coarse, there is no substitute for the real thing. So I encourage all readers to watch all X-Men movies because Hugh Jackman is just a great actor. The other thing I will tell you is that the last movie, and I quote, Hugh said he wanted to make Wolverine to look even tougher than he already has looked. He wanted veins popping out and a really strong guy. To do this, Hugh ran every morning just to keep in shape. I think the third movie (X-Men Origins) was probably the most intense, romantic, dramatic movie Hugh Jackman has ever preformed. If Hugh Jackman is reading this, I hope I am correct. I personally think of Hugh Jackman as a role model, he is certainly mine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.161.212.142 (talk) 03:01, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

One Man Show

Hugh Jackman ran a short trial of a one man show at the Curran Theater in San Francisco March 3rd through 15th. The show was a mixture of full length songs and reviews including Oklahoma and The Boy from Oz and had a running time of approximately 100 minutes. As a trial pulled together in a short time it includes slide shows from his youth, family, and work as well as some one-on-one interaction with the audience. Hugh was backed by Merle Dandridge and Angel Reda, both well known broadway stars in their own rights. Schluntz (talk) 05:41, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

OK, thanks Schluntz, added it to the article. Softlavender (talk) 06:14, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

I've pared it way down because the one source doesn't support everything that was said. If you want some of the other information, it has to be sourced, but I wouldn't put back in the running time, even with a source, because it's trivial and unnecessary to the article.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:23, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

"The" National Anthem

I just think care should be taken to wholly describe the anthem which he sang. "The" National anthem indicates a lack of impartiality on behalf of the writer. A small point but a point none the less.

I think its implied that its the Australian national anthem, as it links to there and is mentioned in relation to Australian sporting events - but I am not sure it would be obvious to anyone unfamiliar with Aust sporting codes or clubs - so I have added the country I hate thinking of names (talk) 07:01, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

It should say: He is known for his role as Wolverine in the X-Men film series, as well as for his leads in Les Miserables, Kate & Leopold, Van Helsing, The Prestige, Australia, and Real Steel. Jackman is a singer, dancer, and actor in stage musicals, and won a Tony Award for his role in The Boy from Oz.

I added Les Miserables.

For 'Les Miserables', Hugh Jackman had been nominated for the Utah Critics Association Award for Best Actor, Central Ohio Critics Association Award for Best Actor, and a few other nominations from other critics groups as well.

Parents nationality, Hughs fathers origins and Hugh saying he's a British citizen.

Hiya

I'd noticed that in the Early Life section it refers to Hugh's parents as "English-born". Does anyone else find that a bit silly? His parents 'are' English. Nowhere else, no other article refers to his parents as "English-born" not even Hugh. They are referred to as "English".

Hugh Jackman often mentions that his parents are English.

"Both my parents are English and came out to Australia in 1967."

http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/h/hughjackma469901.html

"The accent wasn't that hard for me to do, because my father's English, from Cambridge, and my mother's English."

http://www.talktalk.co.uk/entertainment/film/interviews/hugh_jackman.html

I think that his father being from Cambridge should also be added.

Hugh also refers to himself as British as his parents are British and because he has a British passport.

"Hugh Jackman has revealed that his Bafta nomination is an honour - because he's British."

The Les Miserables star, who won a Golden Globe for best musical or comedy actor, was born in Sydney to English parents and now counts himself as a Brit, despite living in Australia.

"My parents are English and I have a British passport so I'm a British citizen."

An excerpt from his recent interview to NEOS KOSMOS for the X-Men: Days of Future Past premiere in Melbourne:

{When Australian superstar, Hugh Jackman, returned to his homeland for the Melbourne premiere of his last movie X-men: Days of Future Past last Friday, local media and fans flooded Melbourne Central station to meet and greet the down-to-earth star.

Who would have thought that, in all that red carpet chaos, when you introduce yourself to Hugh Jackman as a Greek Australian newspaper journalist, his reaction would be: "You know that I am one eighth Greek?"

Despite previous articles that stated Jackman's Greek heritage, the star's reaction and enthusiasm caught this journalist in awe and disbelief, as well as the surrounding media colleagues.

Jackman was all smiles while confirming to Neos Kosmos that he has Greek roots.

"Did you know that? Yes, it's true that I am one eighth Greek," the actor told Neos Kosmos.

Jackman was surprising in how much knowledge he had of his Greek connection, identifying the family surname and the island from which they came. "The family surname was Bellas. My great-grandfather, from my father's side, was Greek.

"It was an island, I think Ios, is that right?"

Though he has visited Greece before, Hugh told Neos Kosmos he hasn't been to the island of his predecessors yet, but is ready to finally visit and track his roots. "I have not been there yet, but my dad and his brother used to go a lot.

"I'm ready to go back," he said.

Hugh's paternal grandmother, Glory Margaret Bellas, was a daughter of Nicholas Isidor Bellas and Dora Bellas, née Furniss.}101.162.207.145 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 06:35, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

In the infobox on the right, maybe change "children = 2" to "children = 2 (adopted)", as it's also in the article about his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness. Just a thought. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 00:59, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Origin categories

I don't intend to insist on this but for so many actors' articles every single ethnic origin, with a proper reference, leads to the addition of the respective category e.g. American people of X descent, regardless of the actual "amount" of this origin (50%, 25% or 12,5%) and his/her self-identification with the one or the other ethnicity. I can't find any reason not to follow this line for Hugh Jackman. Why should this article be an exception?--Sthenel (talk) 14:10, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

If you can find a statement from Hugh that he is of whatever descent, and then actual proof of it, then that would be an acceptable reason to have such a category. As it is, the reference is WP:OR, and does not actually prove or substantiate that Jackman's great-grandfather was Greek; it says that he, like his other siblings, was born in Constantinople. This is even beyond the concern that possibly being 1/8 or 1/16 Greek does not make someone "of Greek descent" for encyclopedic purposes. The fact that random editors are, against Wikipedia policy, using other wiki articles as soapboxes for their own favorite ethnicities (very common right now, especially with Greeks, Turks, Armenians, Kurds, etc., or anyone who hates the Turks) does not excuse spamming more articles this way. Softlavender (talk) 00:31, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Jackman admitted his Greek origin to a Greek interviewer (this is why it became widely known only in Greece and not abroad) and here is the video [3] (look at 0.30 secs). His statement: "It is true, I have Greek origins. Bellas was the family name two generations back... I feel like I'm part Greek and I am actually by blood." His own statement is beyond any doubt.--Sthenel (talk) 01:21, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

I think that's a reasonable case. If others disagree, then this would still be open to debate/discussion. I think if you add that as an additional citation to the article, the category has merit. (PS: Please remember to properly indent your Talk page posts with the correct number of colons for proper nesting under the post you are replying to -- I've fixed your post above for now.)

Semi-protected edit request on 16 February 2015

5 Aug 2013 He's sexy, he can act, dance and sing - and he can thank his Greek background for these numerous talents. Oscar nominated Australian actor Hugh Jackman has told Star TV journalist Elgka Ntaifa he's Greek. "It is true that I have Greek roots," said the actor, on a media junket promoting the upcoming instalment of the Wolverine movie franchise. "Two generations ago the name of my family was Bellas, and I feel that I am a Greek by blood." It was less than five years ago when Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness and their two children were in Mykonos, invited to a private party by American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger. The Jackman clan then went for a mini excursion to Delos by boat and a trip to Matogianni for dinner. In the interview with Star TV, Jackman said he was ready and willing to take up any acting opportunities there may be in Greek film. "If there is a Greek filmmaker interested in a brunette Aussie, then let me know," said the Hollywood actor, who owes a part of his career in compatriot Russell Crowe. It was Crowe's suggested for Jackman to play the Marvel Comic immortal hero Wolverine after he rejected the role himself. "They suggest the role of Wolverine to him but rejected him and suggested me. And for that, I will forever be grateful," said Jackman. The two shared the silver screen together in the Oscar award winning musical Les Miserables.

Well according to Hürriyet Daily News (see here) he stated on 15/02/2015 that: "My father and uncle went to the place where my grandfather immigrated from, and from what they say, that region which is in Greece today belonged to the Ottoman Empire at that time... So I am the descendant of an Ottoman grandfather. Do not think that I’m saying this because I’m coming to Turkey, but I am a Turk. Yes, I think I may say that I’m a Turk."Turco85 (Talk) 11:22, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

WHY THEY DELETED MY CHANGES???

I made some changes to the text that had reliable sources but they deleting it! WHY?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roarkp (talk • contribs)

Some of the edits you are making to the Hugh Jackman are already mentioned in the article. It's also important to cite sources for your edits, which I see you have done in your latest edit but did not do earlier. As for the picture, the consensus seems to be that newer pictures are better, although I may be wrong. I think this article's recent edit history makes clear that additions concerning Jackman's 50 Most Beautiful People in the World designations are somewhat contentious. So it'd probably be best to discuss them here in depth before adding them to the article. wia (talk) 15:57, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

"Jackman at the Odeon Leicester Square premiere of Noah, March 2014" Pic has lower quality compared to the previous photo dats Y i changed it.Am i wrong?...And everybody knows that he has been selected as 'Sexiest Man Alive' and one of de 'Most Beautiful People'! Just check out on the internet , "people" mag , IMDb , showbiz papers..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roarkp (talk • contribs) 18:03, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

I think the general principle when it comes to lead pictures of living people is that newer is better. It is true that the current picture is not as high-resolution as the one you wanted to insert, but the current picture is also three years more recent, which gives visitors to this article a better idea of what Hugh Jackman looks like today. As for the Sexiest Man Alive designation, that fact was already in the Mentions in popular culture section. Take a look for yourself. If you're dead-set on adding something about Hugh Jackman being one of the "Most Beautiful People", you'd be better off inserting it in the Mentions in popular culture section, rather than at the start of the article. You'll need sources for that claim; you can copy the cite web template and fill in the requisite categories to do so.

Another thing you should know is that when you make a discussion thread on a talk page like this one, put a colon (:) before your post to indent it for readability's sake. I've gone ahead and put two colons before your post so that it indents properly. You won't see these colons on the actual talk page, just in the source. One final thing: when you're done writing a post on a talk page post like this, remember to sign your name by typing four tildes, one right after the other. That way your post can be traced back to you so people know to whom they're talking. wia (talk) 04:04, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

To be clear, I don't think these proposed changes are necessary in the article. They've since been reverted, of course, but it's worth explaining exactly why. Adding statements about someone being generally considered one of the world's most beautiful people should probably be backed up by more sources than merely People Magazine. So I'm for keeping those proposed additions out of the article, at least for the time being. wia (talk) 05:01, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

If it is to be removed every time I edit the article just because someone thinks that it's not necessary or authentic despite the fact that it has some source , so why it's called the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit!!

First up, I didn't understand half of what you said. Second, from what I did manage to pull out, your logic is that as long as it has a source, you can put anything on Wikipedia. Well, that's not the case. wia clearly explained earlier that the information that you are trying to add, if it were to be added at all, should be backed up by more than People. And it most definitely doesn't belong in the lead section. Personally, I think that the information is trivial and doesn't belong in the article, however if it were to be included, the information shouldn't deviate from where it already is in the article. I wouldn't keep trying to add it, though, if you're not going to improve on the information and the sources that you've tried to provide. Hope that helps. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 12:03, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

I've replied on Roarkp's talk page with some helpful suggestions and articles to read; namely, WP:LEAD, WP:BRD and WP:DUE. I suggested that he write some drafts of the proposed addition himself and then come back here to discuss them. wia (talk) 14:09, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

There is a factual inaccuracy in the 'early life' section. Following his parents' divorce, Hugh's mother did NOT take the two sisters back to the UK - they stayed in Australia until each achieved the age of 18 before relocating. Both were wards of court of the state of New South Wales until the age of 18. I know this because I was married to one of the daughters in the 1990s!

"In the media"

Why you deleted this section? Can you give me a logical reason?...So anyone can come to this page and delete any section he wants?Set fire 2 de rain (talk) 08:58, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Softlavender, regarding this and this, that's your cue to respond. For context, see the #regarded as sexually attractive section above. Set fire 2 de rain was clearly looking to expand the material you removed, though I've been clear with Set fire 2 de rain above that I don't think that he or she is the right person to expand such content. Also, the content you removed consisted of two sentences, not one. Flyer22 (talk) 09:45, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

I think you [also] mean that is 4TheWynne's cue to respond, since that second edit was by him. I removed the section because one-sentence sections are not allowed on Wikipedia, and because the sentence does not merit its own section even if there were consensus to keep it. 4TheWynne and others have been removing the information when placed in the lede, because there is no consensus to include the information and because there is currently a consensus not to include it, and the editor(s) who keep trying to add it have never gained consensus. Softlavender (talk) 23:04, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

You've basically responded for me. Don't reckon I could have explained it more accurately. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 23:34, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Softlavender, no, I did not mean 4TheWynne. 4TheWynne already commented in the "regarded as sexually attractive" section above. And, when reverting Set fire 2 de again, 4TheWynne stated, "If it was removed by someone else already, then discussions should continue." The dispute was was over, as far as I could tell. It continued because you removed the "In the media" section. You are also incorrect that "one-sentence sections are not allowed on Wikipedia." What you must be referring to is MOS:Paragraphs, which is a guideline I cite often; the only relevant part of it as far as this discussion goes is where it states, "The number of single-sentence paragraphs should be minimized, since they can inhibit the flow of the text; by the same token, paragraphs that exceed a certain length become hard to read. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading; in such circumstances, it may be preferable to use bullet points." It is a guideline, not a policy, and nowhere does it state that "one-sentence sections are not allowed." It states that we should generally avoid them. Generally is the keyword there. Sections often start out with a little bit of material and are then expanded. Also, I've been clear that it was two sentences, not one (though this still classifies as a short paragraph). As for the lead, like WP:Lead notes, things generally should not be in the lead unless significantly addressed lower in the article. So, yeah, that text is not lead material. As for you removing the content because there seems to be WP:Consensus to exclude it, that is a solid argument if such WP:Consensus actually exists. But no matter the supposed WP:Consensus on this matter, I see no solid argument for keeping the material out of the article and why it cannot go somewhere in the Career section. That stated, I don't care much about this article; so whatever is done with it does not bother me much. Flyer22 (talk) 01:10, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Flyer22, if you are going to talk about someone else's edit(s), then don't involve or mention only me. If a knowledgeable editor had reverted my edit, I would have been OK with that (if that was in line with consensus). If you want to talk about my edit(s) only, please only link my edit(s). Thanks.

I've been clear that I linked to the two most relevant edits and mentioned you because this dispute started up again because of an edit you made. I mentioned you and Set fire 2 de.

Eyes needed at List of awards and nominations received by Hugh Jackman

Eyes needed at List of awards and nominations received by Hugh Jackman. Right now only two are listed, and all the others have been removed. And if you try to add the others back in, you get a block message that prevents that. Please put the page on your watch lists. Softlavender (talk) 13:59, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

I don't understand your problem, Softlavender. The message told you that you couldn't add the awards and nominations without providing citations to reliable source validating each and every award received. You didn't do that: instead, you just tried to trip the filter over and over. How about finding citations to reliable sources that validate each and every award you add and including them in your edit? Then, your edit will comply with WP:V and the filter won't block it.—Kww(talk) 14:21, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Kww, citations are not specifically absolutely required for each and every single award in a List article for an extremely notable person, unless there is actual reason to doubt their veracity -- these awards are all a matter of public record. Cf., for instance, List of awards and nominations received by Philip Seymour Hoffman, the awards listing for a Featured Article. Or List of awards and nominations received by Meryl Streep. I would appreciate it if you would restore the 60 awards and nominations you have removed from the article, and if you would also remove the edit-block. I do not believe that the edit-block is within Wikipedia policy; nor do I believe that removal of 60 awards and nominations without notice and without Talk-page discussion is within Wikipedia policy. If you want more citations, please place a tag on the article. Right now the article has only a single award and a single nomination, making the article highly inaccurate. I believe that blocking auto-confirmed editors from restoring mass deletions without a WP:RFPP by an uninvolved admin is against Wikipedia policy. Can you tell me who created that edit-block feature and under whose aegis/guidance/discussion? Softlavender (talk) 14:44, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Citations are required for every contentious statement about a living person. Every one, without exception, per WP:BLP, and all such statements can and should be removed on sight. Statements that someone won a particular award are inherently contentious. I will not violate WP:BLP by restoring unsourced contentious material about a living person. The filter isn't specific to Hugh Jackman, and I'm not planning on removing or disabling it.—Kww(talk) 15:05, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

I'd like to ask again, since the edit-block filter codes/coding is invisible (at least to me) and so its origin/purpose/acceptance onto Wikipedia is unclear: Who created the edit-block filter, and under whose aegis/guidance/discussion? Could you please point me to the discussion regarding its creation / purpose / documentation / etc.? Thank you. Softlavender (talk) 15:12, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

It's intentionally invisible, and I am the author of the filter. It simply enforces a fairly obvious consequence of WP:BLP, and, if you wish to discuss it, I would suggest that WT:BLP is the appropriate location. Be certain to mention that the reason you discovered it was because you attempted to add a massive amount of material about a living person without taking the time to verify that it was true, in violation of WP:BLP, restoring it after its veracity had been challenged, in violation of WP:BURDEN. Bear in mind: if you had actually succeeded with the edit, I would have blocked you if you persisted in making it after a warning.

Or, alternatively, you could simply comply with our policies about sourcing and not trip a fairly non-controversial filter.—Kww(talk) 15:25, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

BLP policies about contentious material are there to prevent false negative allegations, rumors, or reports being publicly placed onto Wikipedia. Awards and nominations are neither negative, libelous, controversial, provocative, nor scandalous. What is controversial, provocative, and negative, is for a list of Jackman's awards and nominations to only list one award and one nomination. Blocking the restoration of mass-deleted relevant material without due process and with a tool developed and applied without due process is contrary to Wikipedia policies. Softlavender (talk) 15:36, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

WP:BLP applies to false allegations, both negative and positive. As for "contentiousness", when an award is miscredited, it does cause harm to the person or persons that actually won. There's nothing preventing you from restoring material after you have found citations to reliable sources verifying them. There are a lot of things preventing you from restoring the material before you've found a reliable source that indicates they are true, and I would hope that your own desire to not include untrue information would be high on the list.—Kww(talk) 15:46, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Kww is on a crusade and is ignoring any form of common sense that would suggest he asks for references, or (shock) finds them himself. The censorship of the article is inappropriate in extremis, references can be requested using {{ref improve}} or {{citation needed}}, and that's much better than just deleting the majority of the article. But Kww is determined to remove easily referenced information from Wikipedia like some kind of crusader. It's very odd from such an experienced editor, I think perhaps a wikibreak is in order. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:26, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

What do you mean by saying that?? If It's not appropriate or needed so why is this mentioned in other actors bio TWICE?! like Johnny Depp , George Clooney , Brad Pitt , N ...

Set fire 2 de rain (talk) 17:04, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

The key issue here is that the information is not encyclopedic. If this kind of information is presented on other pages, then it doesn't belong there. Nobody here (especially me) is having a go at you, or reverting your edits out of spite. If the information's not encyclopedic, then it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 12:52, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

I agree. As for other articles, this is the kind of non-encyclopedic material that often finds its way into celebrity articles. Indeed, it's often hard to keep it out because too many fans think we should include it. However, Wikipedia is not a fansite, and there is generally no basis for inserting such silly material.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:32, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Those attractiveness statements needs to be sourced and phrased objectively from notable media such as the annual People's Sexiest Man Alive, Cleo magazine's Most Eligible Bachelor. But not every superlative needs to be mentioned. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:26, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Set fire 2 de rain (talk · contribs) has gone about this the wrong way, which is why I reverted Set fire 2 de rain at the Brad Pitt article, reverted and tweaked his or her content at the George Clooney article (as seen here and here) and tweaked his or her content at the Hugh Jackman (as seen here and here). Such content can be appropriate for celebrity articles, or other Wikipedia articles, as it is at the WP:Featured article Angelina Jolie (WP:Permalink is here). Context is key; if the celebrity's WP:Notability is significantly tied to their physical attractiveness, as is the case for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (as two examples), then that content should be in their Wikipedia articles, with appropriate analysis. In other words, instead of written in a WP:Trivia-like way, it should be presented in the way that the content is presented at the Angelina Jolie article. And it should be in the WP:Lead only if it is significantly covered lower in the article. Flyer22 (talk) 17:04, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Following Roarkp's last talk-page warning, Set fire 2 de rain created their account (and started editing) exactly 14 minutes after Roarkp made their last edit ever. Like Roarkp, Set fire 2 de rain also edited an article about a site in Iran. Both accounts have also edited X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and the bulk of each account's editing is regarding Hugh Jackman and/or the sex-symbol issue. I find all of this highly "coincidental", especially for two accounts with less than 60 edits each, if you catch my drift. No, I don't feel liking filing (I find doing so tedious; perhaps someone else will if required), but it's worth a check. Softlavender (talk) 08:38, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Fair enough. Can't believe I didn't think of that. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 08:44, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Well, Softlavender, shouldn't I be the cynical one in this context? Roarkp and Set fire 2 de rain are  Confirmed. And you didn't even have to open an SPI.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:58, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Excellent, thanks B. Nice work. Softlavender (talk) 03:21, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Singer

I have to agree that Jackman is most definitely a singer, and that should be indicated in the lede and infobox. He has performed the singing leads in Beauty and the Beast, Sunset Boulevard, Summa Cabaret, Oklahoma!, Carousel, The Boy from Oz (one-man show, three separate years, multiple venues), Les Miserables, and Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway (one man show) , and as host of the Tonys (four times) and Oscars. He has won numerous major awards for his musical-theatre performances. He is certainly much more of a singer than he is a producer. Softlavender (talk) 13:56, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

HE IS! He is a singer and dancer too...Set fire 2 de rain (talk) 16:29, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

I agree he was a theatre performer, but this is already covered by actor, but he does not have notable studio albums to distinguish those occupations. Same with dance, it is in the context of his music theatre / acting career. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:09, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

• Jackman has at least three popular one-man or starring albums out: The Boy from Oz, Oklahoma, and Les Miserables. (There may be more.) Generally actors whose theatrical or theatre-related work is solely musicals are designated as singers in the ledes of their articles. (He has certainly done much more singing than he has done producing, in terms of time spent and overall number of projects.) Softlavender (talk) 08:46, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 13 July 2015

This is the second time I have requested this inaccuracy to be rectified. In Hugh's early history it states that following his parents' separation his mother took his two sisters back to the UK. This is in fact not the case.The two sisters, Zoe and Sonia, remained in their father's care and resident in New South Wales until each attained the age of 18, (Zoe in 1978, Sonia in 1982) after which they rejoined their mother in the UK, where both are now still resident. I know both sisters, and was formerly married to Sonia, which is how I know the family history.

Edit request: Replace "Jackman remained in Australia with his father and Jackman's two brothers, while his mother moved back to England with Jackman's two sisters." with "Jackman remained in Australia with his father and siblings, while his mother moved back to England, where she was joined by Jackman's two sisters a few years later."

De Edge of Glory, as I mentioned in my edit summary, per WP:BRD, you need to establish consensus before replacing good images with inferior images. Here are the comparisons of the images you attempted to replace:

My personal view is that is not superior to any photo now in the article. His face is partially obscured by the microphone, and he looks tired and unhappy. It might be improved by cropping, but those issues would still remain. (See for instance WP:PERTINENCE; it adds nothing to the article which isn't already there, better, in other images.)

Semi-protected edit request on 10 May 2015

Greek to Turkish: Please change Greek to Turkish because of more recent Hugh Jackman's new interview stating his great grandfather's origin as Turkish. This is also published in The Age newspaper and other international and local newspapers (http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/hugh-jackman-says-he-is-grandson-of-an-ottoman-a-turk.aspx?PageID=238&NID=78365&NewsCatID=381) also mentioned in your website: wiki.riteme.site/wiki/List_of_Turkish_Australians and at his recent interview also could be found in YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-j0hLQHUbE.

I think the request is stupid, because we are jumping to conclusion way too fast, and there is a little bias from Hugh, he seems very open-minded and interested in Turkish culture, he drinks the coffee at least. I think one request that is possible if we can find a reliable source other than a video, is to add the Ottoman information. It makes 90% sense that his Greek ancestors were Ottoman Greeks living in Greece, we are of course utilizing his own words, by putting a quotation mark. Alexis Ivanov (talk) 00:53, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Another sock of Roarkp

Bbb23, we have another sock of Roarkp, exhibiting even worse behavior. Thegleaminureyes has illegally uploaded a copyrighted photograph (several, in fact) of Jackman onto Commons, claiming it as his own work: [4]. He then posted it on several different wikis, including Farsi/Persian, which he is clearly fluent in (remember the master and sock[s] edit articles on Iran?), the latter using his sockmaster account name, "Roar": [5] (Farsi/Persian is read right to left, so that is Roar's addition of the photo).

Edit Request for August 25th 2015

Hugh Jackman has a voice cameo in the movie "Me and Earl and The Dying Girl" this cameo is not listed in his filmography. He doesn't appear physically, only as a voice whilst the camera focuses on a photo of him.

You can find Jackman listed at the bottom of the casting credits here. https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Me_and_Earl_and_the_Dying_Girl_(film) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Epicluca (talk • contribs) 13:07, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

X-Men: Apocalypse - Pending Confirmation?

Shouldn't there be a note in Hugh's filmography for this film stating his involvement is "in talks" or negotiations? Or is there something, somewhere online that completely confirms his casting in the film? I've looked into recent reports and from I see, it hasn't been confirmed yet. And that it could merely be a simple cameo in the film. Even the film's Wikipedia page said that he is still in talks. He listed in the cast at the very bottom, but there is no news article referenced with it, confirming him being cast in the film. This should probably be updated/corrected, or at least confirmed. Because from what I can see, its not correct information. Aidensdaddy2k9 (talk) 07:04, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Jackman himself confirmed his involvement via Instagram today, so I've re-implemented the film in his filmography. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:30, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Has it been removed again? Aidensdaddy2k9 (talk) 17:24, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Could we add Jackman's religion (Christianity) into the mix? http://parade.com/426939/dotsonrader/the-hugh-you-never-knew/2/ http://www.christiantoday.com/article/hugh.jackman.im.a.christian.i.dedicate.every.performance.to.god/66980.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.28.232.207 (talk) 04:58, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

It is already mentioned in the Personal life section. However it should not be in the infobox because that isn't what makes him Wikipedia-notable. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:54, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Height

Jackman is 1.9 m (6 ft 3 inches) in this section I've read this in numerous credible sources. for example: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=1190637 http://www.watoday.com.au/entertainment/movies/why-hugh-jackman-got-much-more-than-he-expected-as-pans-nastiest-pirate-20150915-gjn5a9Elasticluv (talk) 13:39, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Why is this important? Is he from the modeling industry? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:53, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Well when the information is wrong it must be corrected...he's not 1.89m he's 1.9 m Elasticluv (talk) 04:31, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Okay, got it. I thought you were wanting to add height to the infobox. I'm putting in your sources since the old one was IMDb and that's not reliable. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:15, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Elasticluv (talk) 14:13, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Media Section

Why don't we have this section? I think such content can be useful for celebrity articles to enhance it as it is at the featured articles.Elasticluv (talk) 14:37, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

This would not "enhance" the article... such a section already existed until just recently, when it was removed because the information in the section was trivial. Sections titled "In the media" generally aren't recommended for that reason. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 20:55, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Edit Request: Hugh Jackman's Basal Cell Carcinoma

Could we update this information on his Wikipedia page? On his wikipedia page, it only mentions two BCCs. As of February 2016, Hugh Jackman has had FIVE confirmed basal cell carcinoma operations. Hugh Jackman has admitted to that number of skin cancer operations in interviews and there were hundreds of news articles about it. 4 were on his nose and 1 was on his shoulder.

Here are a couple links (two of hundreds): http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/beauty/hugh-jackman-treated-for-fifth-skin-cancer-in-three-years-20160208-gmp00i.html http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-09/hugh-jackman-has-fifth-skin-cancer-removed/7150972 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thelitigator1776 (talk • contribs) 03:02, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

Dancer

He has choreography & dances in his performances such as tap dancing.He has performed the dancing for example in his one-man show in Istanbul (An Evening With Hugh Jackman), Broadway to Oz show, and as host of the Tonys and Oscars. Elasticluv (talk) 08:15, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

OK, that's pushing it. Sourced or not, he is not a professional dancer. Therefore it doesn't belong in the lead/infobox. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 08:17, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

but according to this he started dancing since young age.Elasticluv (talk) 08:32, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Singing, playing instruments and dancing are definitely part of his occupations. He is certainly much more of a musician & dancer than he is a producer. So it should be presented in the way that the content is presented at the Jennifer Lopez, Jared Leto, Johnny Depp,... articles and should be indicated in the lead and infobox. Elasticluv (talk) 08:17, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Elasticluv, the problem is that if we did that, then we would be listing absolutely everything that Jackman had even dabbled in. The infobox would be huge. "Actor, producer and musician" is enough; singing and dancing can be incorporated into acting and playing instruments indicates that he is a musician. And it is already sourced in the below sections that he is a producer. Your interpretation or opinion of what he is "much more of" than a particular occupation is completely irrelevant. I have made a pretty fair compromise here, so please accept it and move on. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 08:24, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

I don't think so. In some articles like Jennifer Lopez or Madonna (entertainer) they ARE listing everything and the infobox IS longer. for example they even mentioned that JLo is an author & Madonna is a businesswoman.Elasticluv (talk) 08:45, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

The statement that you made before your last is already sourced in the Early Life section. You don't seem to be taking in anything that I'm saying, and I can see what's happening here. As a result, I will say this once: any more edits to this argument will be considered disruptive. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 08:56, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

'disruptive'?! 'non-constructive'?! Why we should not list all of his occupations as it is at the WP:Good articles article Madonna (entertainer)? Why is it wrong to mention that he plays instruments in the infobox? Elasticluv (talk) 09:18, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

4TheWynne,I meant why is it wrong to indicate each of the instruments: Vocals, guitar, piano, violin. Elasticluv (talk) 09:30, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

I understand what you mean. I've certainly had a think about it, but "musician" (or "instrumentalist", as you have continually chosen to put it) isn't one of his main occupations, as he hasn't released an album, etc. A normal person's infobox, as Jackman's is, doesn't include the "instrument" parameter. If you wanted it to be included, you would have to embed the musician's infobox, which includes a whole heap of information that doesn't need to be included (not including the "instrument" parameter, of course). And so, while you make a pretty fair point, it would seem unusual either to do that or to completely change the template to that of a musician, because "musician" isn't one of his main occupations, like I said before. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 09:43, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

I would remove musician from the occupation list as it does not carry any notable WP:WEIGHT. He dabbles in playing different instruments but none of that is of a professional nature. That would be like saying Bill Clinton is a musician because he plays the saxophone. Wait until he makes a career out of it, like John Tesh, Eddie Murphy, or Paris Hilton, where they have actually released singles / albums with their chosen instrument, and then you can list him in the infobox or consider adding a musical artist module. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:46, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

But he does not DABBLE in playing instruments. It's not just a hobby for him. He does play the guitar, piano & violin in his shows and live performances and it's part of his career. For example in The Boy from Oz or his one-man shows.Elasticluv (talk) 15:54, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

I don't see any of that mentioned in the Boy from Oz article or even in this main article, and it is not the main aspect of the show, so that would be dabbling. He could pull out a kazoo during one of his professional acts, or do some rapping in one of his songs. Does that make him a kazoo-ist or a rapper? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:34, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

References

I hope you guys don't mind me adding to this discussion. I am finding the treatment of Hugh Jackman's talents a bit undermining. He is a musician. He is a professional singer. He has been trained as a professional singer and takes professional lessons every week and has done so for many years. "Vocals" counts as an instrument, even if he is not "professionally trained" in guitar, piano, and violin (which he indeed plays, as I have seen him play those instruments live). The vocals alone are enough to merit the "Musician" description, and the Musician description should stay. Also, he has songs released on albums, and he does far more than just "dabble" in dancing. He has been tap dancing since he was a teenager. He is a triple threat who plays instruments and makes appearances on a number of people's albums, and he should be regarded as such. The dismissive attitude towards his talents seems more opinion based and biased than factually based. Not to mention, his Wikipedia page still mentions Seed Productions. That production company has not existed for many years and Hugh does not refer to himself as a producer at this point. He does, however, regard himself as an entertainer who sings, acts, dances, and plays musical instruments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thelitigator1776 (talk • contribs) 19:05, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

Musician (Instrumentalist)

reference to "The Fountain" in the lede

I think we should mention to this film beside other movies names or instead of "Real Steel". The Fountain directed by Darren Aronofsky is a much more important movie than Real Steel. Jackman plays 3 different characters and his performance garnered strong critical acclaim and the movie have been lauded with wide acclaim by movie critics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elasticluv (talk • contribs) 06:18, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

I agree that Real Steel does not bear mentioning in the lead, as it's not generally mentioned whenever Jackman's career is summarized in articles, reviews, or interviews. And I think a strong argument can indeed be made that The Fountain does bear mentioning in the lead -- it's often singled out as one of his important performances/films. Softlavender (talk) 13:39, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Edit Request: Hugh Jackman's "Charity Work" Section

I feel like this section needs a serious update. It hasn't been updated since 2009, and Hugh Jackman, who is dedicated to his philanthropy and humanitarian work, has done so much more since then that is currently very relevant.

Could we please add Hugh Jackman's charitable coffee & tea company, Laughing Man, to his philanthropy section? It is the most important charity to him and it is his company that he started, and yet it doesn't get a mention. He even put out a documentary in 2015 called "Dukale's Dream" about how fair trade initiatives and simple, bio-friendly practices like the methane gas converter, provided by World Vision, have helped improve the quality of life of impoverished farmers and their families in places like Ethiopia. The documentary also highlights how Laughing Man was started and focuses on the people who inspired Hugh to start it (particularly, Dukale and his family). The proceeds made from showing the documentary all went to World Vision and the Laughing Man Foundation (for training impoverished farmers to become entrepreneurs and providing education and healthcare for their wives and children).

Here is the direct link to his company and foundation: http://laughingmanfoundation.org/index.html#topofpage

Then there are countless articles he and others have written about it and interviews with excellent information. Here are some great links. From CNN last year: "Hugh Jackman Takes On Global Poverty" http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/12/entertainment/iyw-hugh-jackman-dukale-dream-ethiopia/

From World Vision's Website: "Hugh Jackman Disrupts Poverty With Fair Trade Coffee Company and New Documentary" - http://www.worldvision.org/news-stories-videos/hugh-jackman-coffee-documentary-dukales-dream

From CBS in April 2016: "Hugh Jackman changing lives one cup of coffee at a time" - http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hugh-jackman-changing-lives-one-cup-of-coffee-at-a-time/

Hugh has also done so much through World Vision. He helped out with Haiti Earthquake relief, among other things, through World Vision.

Hugh and his wife, Deborra-Lee, started the Jackman-Furness Foundation in 2014 to give back to his former school, WAAPA, and produce scholarships for young artists, particularly in the Aboriginal community. Here is their website: http://jffpa.com/

I think his dedication to the Indigenous community could also be emphasized on his philanthropic section. Here are some key points:

In 2015, Hugh protested against the closing of Indigenous communities in Australia: http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2015/09/16/hugh-jackman-calls-renewed-fight-stop-indigenous-community-closures

Hugh is deeply involved with "Nomad Two Worlds", an organization dedicated to supporting indigenous and marginalized communities World Wide: https://nomadtwoworlds.com/our-story http://russelljames.com/nomad-photography-collection/foreword-by-hugh-jackman

And here is Hugh even talking about Nomad Two Worlds at his Broadway Show where he had Indigenous Artists perform on stage with him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSaGp3gLGLY

And Hugh Jackman was named as an Ambassador for Quantas last year, and through that position, he teamed up with the Indigenous Marathon Foundation to launch an initiative to help young indigenous in Australia become leaders: http://www.qantasnewsroom.com.au/media-releases/hugh-jackman-and-qantas-announce-initiative-to-champion-a-new-generation-of-young-indigenous-leaders/

He's done so much more for so many charities, but for now, we could at least start with updating the section with these facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thelitigator1776 (talk • contribs) 03:48, 26 June 2016 (UTC) Thelitigator1776 (talk) 19:08, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

It's over at Hugh Jackman on screen and stage. Does that one need to be renamed? Seems to be consistent with Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:17, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

I'm talking about a Filmography section (and TOC-visible header) in this bio article, the same as Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Laurence Olivier, and every other major actor have. Readers looking for an actor's filmography (the most important part of any screen actor's life/article) need an immediately findable and visible section title that either contains a filmography list or points to a filmography list. Softlavender (talk) 02:27, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

I see it there with the recent edits. It's just a section with a "Main article" link with not much else to say about it. So it is comparable to Julia Roberts article for now. I'm surprised it wasn't there before? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:47, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

I actually restored it to there. I had put it there before, but it was moved by another editor to a very strange place in the article. Even earlier, it was listed as a See also, which made no sense to me.--Bbb23 (talk) 03:50, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

"Vocal Chords" Facepalm. Could someone with access to edit this correct it to "vocal cords" thanks. Unless someone actually thinks he's strumming C G and Em with his voice or something. LOL — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.219.32 (talk) 07:38, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Infobox Image

Stemoc, As I mentioned you need to establish consensus before replacing good images with inferior images. In the previous image he has nose bandage thus this one is more decent and appropriate for infobox. You are edit-warring rather than following WP:BRD. CerberaOdollam (talk) 07:42, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Update

Please insert the fact that Hugh Jackman was once a PE teacher at Uppingham School. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj46BWpxFcA Thanks!

I personally think that you're going to need a better source – that video was very light-hearted (not that we can expect anything less from Jackman). 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 12:20, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 22 June 2017

Don't mind if I do it but Jackman grew up with all his siblings in Australia, not just his brothers. Look it up it's true. 85.255.236.33 (talk) 00:49, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Actually, some editors did "look it up" and the reliable sources they consulted, and included in the article, indicate Jackman's sisters went back to England with their mother. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 03:00, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

early life new information

Hi, I'm new to this but I was reading about my favourite actor and would like to add that Hugh played the lead role in the PLC (Pymble Ladies College) musical Brigadoon in 1985. I was in the chorus. Thanks, hopefully it can be added. Skijenny (talk) 10:46, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Skijenny, can you add some sort of reliable source confirming this? Whether it's the kind of information that even belongs here is another question, but this should help you regardless when it comes to using Wikipedia. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 13:20, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Article issues

Likely unchecked additions but as this is a B-class article would someone please take a look at the following issues?:

• Reference structure. At a point, and many later additions, the structure of the references have degraded.
• "External links": There are too many as to have already entered the realm of linkfarming. Otr500 (talk) 23:40, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
