    if hugh jackman was 5 years younger he would look like either radcliff or elija wood, now he looks more like silvesters stalone



  2. joe broadbeef on April 3, 2022 at 6:39 pm

    Good to see him doing well:)



  3. May Flower on April 3, 2022 at 6:39 pm

    Wait since Hugh can’t keep a secret we should ask him if Daniel Radcliffe is playing Wolverine



  4. Jimmy Gunawan on April 3, 2022 at 6:41 pm

    LOL, Jimmy Kimmel last sentence on Wolverine you really need to go to the loo πŸ˜…



  5. Kerensa Birch on April 3, 2022 at 6:43 pm

    Great interview but had to wait 7 minutes to hear the name of the show he’s in. Not everyone lives in New York and would know this.



  6. AJ Battiato on April 3, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    OMG, that’s a NZ accent you’re doing, Hugh Jackman!



  7. Zaid Roa on April 3, 2022 at 6:45 pm

    If we don’t get a scene with Deadpool and wolverine and somewhere in the near future I will shit a chicken!



  8. Damon Hines on April 3, 2022 at 6:46 pm

    So…Brigadoon?



  9. Thales Farah on April 3, 2022 at 6:47 pm

    Pleaseee man, como back in dr strange multiverse of madness



  10. Vincent Xu on April 3, 2022 at 6:48 pm

    If Ryan actually showed up it’s probably gonna be the greatest night in television history



  11. tiny99990 on April 3, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    Oh god I hate Kimmel, I genuinely cannot stand him.



  12. I like Music on April 3, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    But… but this is Jimmy Kimmel…



  13. Leo’s An Alien on April 3, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    I hope the main stream audience caught that rich studios told their employees to lie to get through immigration.
    My point is not necessarily that it’s wrong, but that let’s not pretend to get offended if people try to get across borders just to better their lives, regardless of their race or ethnicity.



  14. Josh J on April 3, 2022 at 6:51 pm

    So happy Hugh is back doing musicals, I met him back in 2004 when I worked at the local performing arts centre, he was doing Boy from Oz.. he was so amazing.



  15. Jonny DIY on April 3, 2022 at 6:53 pm

    brb…gotta wee



  16. JiSoo Husband on April 3, 2022 at 6:56 pm

    No need of Caption after getting exposed with tons of native speakers’ video.



  17. Cheyenne Brennan on April 3, 2022 at 6:56 pm

    I feel the same way about Fawlty Towers – just not funny for me.



  18. Vrushabh Sekhar on April 3, 2022 at 6:56 pm

    Do they have April fools day in Aus wtffff HAHAHAHAHAH



  19. Nate K on April 3, 2022 at 6:57 pm

    i need hugh jackman and jonathan bailey to play father and son in some movie or series. they kinda have similar facial features and personality; it would be great to see them in something



  20. Laura D on April 3, 2022 at 6:58 pm

    I love Hugh even more now!



  21. Isokjon Mukhammadjonov on April 3, 2022 at 6:59 pm

  22. Durham Girl on April 3, 2022 at 7:00 pm

    Oooof that black hair noooooooo



  23. Vyzard on April 3, 2022 at 7:02 pm

    Fascinating story about a comic book nerd helping him not getting deported, just wait till he comments on this video. And I hope the next Wolverine gets a similar treatment



  24. Hariom Pandey on April 3, 2022 at 7:03 pm

    No one can replace you



  25. Vijay K on April 3, 2022 at 7:03 pm

    I love Hugh Jackman ❀…



  26. Paloma Thomas on April 3, 2022 at 7:03 pm

    I dated a guy that could be Hugh Jackman’s doppelganger, except he is Serbian. His accent was SO sexy. My mom thought he was good looking (back off Mom!). The sex was pretty good too…..great cultural exchange. Lol



  27. checks and balances on April 3, 2022 at 7:04 pm

    His wife is so lucky – that’s all I can say – what a fabulous honest & talented man πŸ’•



  28. Justa Youtuber on April 3, 2022 at 7:07 pm

    How can anyone not love Hugh Jackman?



  29. Mirkatu on April 3, 2022 at 7:09 pm

    Yas! Great Aprils Fools Day prank.



  30. Mistah Grizzly on April 3, 2022 at 7:11 pm

  32. Owen on April 3, 2022 at 7:11 pm

    Did he have some work done ? πŸ˜”



  33. the outsider on April 3, 2022 at 7:12 pm

    What a great guy 😁



  34. gestaltdude on April 3, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    If the customs guy was a true nerd, he would likely have been horrified at the thought of ruining a live action X-Men movie by denying them their chosen Logan. πŸ˜€



  35. Dustin Bellinger on April 3, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    Yeah 8 shows, 4 shows… i work 6 days a week in a factory 12-16 hours. Good times.



  36. Margaret Binnie on April 3, 2022 at 7:15 pm

    I claim fame here. In 1990 when film Paperback Hero appeared, I texted a Canadian friend and said if you want to know what a gorgeous Aussie bloke looks like, watch this movie. And was I right – you betcha. πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί



  37. Robert Harris on April 3, 2022 at 7:15 pm

    could imagine that time when jack man got stuck and said he was The Actor that is to Portray a Xmen member of Wolverine to Main Street and they looked at him and Gave him the escorts etc giving Jackman a already positive vibe for playing the Wolverine.. must of been the start of something for him and the studio at the time nice



  38. Bill Hoogterp on April 3, 2022 at 7:17 pm

    I am a conservative but this is a scam post, similar to the ones proven that the Russia Troll Farms did during the elections. Here is how you can tell. They take some video footage that is real, recut it to be a bit misleading but that is not the scam. The Troll farms have thousands of fake accounts, so when they post it, instead of getting 1 view with each person who watches like the rest of us, they "miraculously" have hundreds of thousands of views in the first 1 second. Then hardly any after. Then they have illegal algorithms to post comments which then each "miraculously" have hundreds of only positive comments that agree with pretty far extreme views that don’t represent even conservatives, let alone America or others. Here is how you can tell further these are not real profiles, click on any of them and you can see how they don’t have real friends, are like a hollywood fake town, just fake accounts. We have reached out to the people posting these to confirm and offer to have real phone calls or meet for a burger and fine to have a real discussion and even disagree but as free people. But they cannot call because their country code is +7 is what we are finding. Hmm, now, why would the Russia Troll Farms be spending so much time still trying to undermine American democracy. Ah, that is a very interesting question.



  39. boom box on April 3, 2022 at 7:18 pm

    If jimmy fallon was their he would definitely ask about his role in Multiverse of Madness



  40. tiny99990 on April 3, 2022 at 7:21 pm

    Yeah, I’d do a strip search of Hugh Jackman too… He’s super suspicious gotta make sure he isn’t sneaking anything in… you’d be surprised what some of these actors will sneak in and where they’ll put it, gotta check anywhere the skin touches skin like under the pits, or the crotch or ugh, between the cheeks, fit or heavy guys in particular can hold stull there without even having to walk weird

    *did I do a good job at making it sound legit?*



  41. Nipulkrad Msinatagras on April 3, 2022 at 7:21 pm

    *Hugh will always be Logan.*



  42. danny driver on April 3, 2022 at 7:21 pm

    You are Wolverine, you are stuck with it!!!!
    And you’ve done hell of a job Mr. Hugh JACKman!!!πŸ’ͺ🀘



  43. lightbreeze183 on April 3, 2022 at 7:24 pm

    I legit watched this whole interview and did not pick up on it being Jimmy Kimmel



  44. vmwindustries on April 3, 2022 at 7:26 pm

    That guy is just too fn funny. I’d love to drink beers with him, and Ryan. Just to hear the shiz talking!

  46. Frankie Miller on April 3, 2022 at 7:28 pm

  47. Calvin Limuel on April 3, 2022 at 7:28 pm

  48. James Parker on April 3, 2022 at 7:28 pm

  49. SeanT Lewis on April 3, 2022 at 7:29 pm

    I’ve been in "that room" before in Manchester, England — for three hours. Yeah, it’s sweating bullets.
