Hugh Jackman’s Beach Bonding With Kids

Hugh Jackman relaxed in some waters off Bowen, Queensland with his two children, Oscar Maximillian and Ava Eliot.

Jackman, 38, helped his son learn to bodyboard in the ocean and then he watched over his daughter as she climbed some rocks nearby. But Jackman wasn’t just dedicated to his adopted children, he also took some time out to play with the children of his co-stars.

Hugh Jackman is currently in Bowen, Queensland filming the epic Australia with Nicole Kidman.

Australia is set in Northern Australia prior to World War II and centers around the reluctant relationship between an English aristocrat (Kidman) and a rough-hewn cattle driver (Jackman). As the two of them lead 2,000 cattle across Australian land, they encounter first-hand the bombing of Darwin, Australia by the same Japanese forces that bombed Pearl Harbor.

There is no release date set for this film as of this time.

Check out 50 photos of Jackman at the beach with his family after the jump!

Fantastic body! He’s a nice, humble, funny man too. I always put him in the same category with Ewan McGregor for some reason, nice, smart, funny family men who counteract the trashines and arroganece of other foreign imports like Jude Law and Russell Crowe (he’s a bully,’nuff said).

My dad is just two years older than Hugh and he sure doesn’t look like that!

Well done Hugh, you’re my idol!

What kind of a mix is his son?

“What kind of a mix is his son?”

Hugh has just always said that Oscar as mixed race…Caucasian, African-American, possibly some Native American (he was born in the USA). He’s a cute boy destined to be a handsome man.

“What the hell is with the vein on his right bicep?”

That vein has been noticeable in many, many photos over the years, including ones of Hugh as Wolverine.

Does it matter what ‘mix’ his son is? They are both beautiful.

Thanks for pointing out that these are “adopted” children. Otherwise I might have thought they were a real family.

I think the vein is because of his working out and lifting weights - it has a name which I read about the other day but can’t recall what it is.

They ARE a real family. :-) But I know what you mean, they aren’t a biological family.

Connor & Isabella seem very happy with their dad Tom. He’s their #1 fan at soccer matches, etc.

What is wrong with wanting to know what mix his son is, he is gorgeous. People are just curious, chill. I don’t think black meant it as a bad thing.
And mj it is your point of view that is preventing you to see them as a family just because his children are adopted.
I think it’s fair to let fans know which kids are adopted and which ones are biological. To me it is just another thing to know about them. It surely doesn’t make them any less wothy or whatever in my eyes.

Yes, I was being sarcastic. I thought he had decided to drop the word adopted when speaking about families.
