What a good dad. If your father is Hugh Jackman, it’s only a matter of time before you get a hard lesson on how to attract the ladies. The lovable actor shared to Entertainment Tonight that he once played wingman for his young son — and we’re kinda obsessed with that idea. 

“Once he was on the beach,” Hugh started. “He was talking to a girl, he was about 13, he was talking to a girl, who I guess had to be about 15, and he started walking towards me. He came up to me and he started walking ahead of the girl, and he goes, ‘Dad, Dad, Dad, she’s coming over. I told her you’re Wolverine, just go with it.’ I was like, ‘I am the wingman for my 13-year-old boy.’”

Indeed you are! Hugh and wife Deborra Lee Furness have been married since 1996, but that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten the game. But he tries to remain modest.  

“It’s been 25 years, I wouldn’t even know how to pretend to have game,” he quips. “It’s been way too long.”
