Hugh Jackman Has Huge Handprints

Hugh Jackman, puts his hand and footprints on cement in a ceremony honoring him in the forecourt of the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Tuesday (April 21) in Hollywood.

The 40-year-old Aussie actor said to the crowd, “I have to tell you, this particular block of real estate has brought me two moments in my life I thought would never ever happen. Hosting the Oscars and now here today. It means the world to me to be here.”

Hugh also admitted how much he owes to the X-Men character Wolverine. “This is a dream,” he said. “But I know how much I owe to this character (Wolverine). If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be here.”

30+ pictures inside of Hugh Jackman’s huge handprints…

He’s not orange. It’s the light reflecting off the background and the carpet. It happens when you take pictures in bright sunlight. If he’d been standing in a park in the same lighting conditions he’d look green.

@lacey:
exactly. like I said earlier, I saw the videos of this and he doesn’t look “orange” at all in them. Just a little tan.

@Chili Pepper: No they don’t pay. If they did then everyone would have their hand/foot prints in front of Chinese Theatre. It is a fact that since 1927 (when this honoring ceremony started) only 200, more or less, Hollywood stars have been honored. It’s by far a more prestigious honor than the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It seems that today everyone can get a star there…

Btw, Hugh Jackman deserved it. He is such a versatile actor and a huge star. I’m thrilled to learn that his next film project will be a remake of the classic musical CAROUSEL. Jackman himself said so in an interview for the Daily Telegraph newspaper. If he eventually does this, well, I can already smell the first Oscar nomination…

lacey - I’m glad you commented about the orange and red background. All these orange fake tan comments were really getting to me! I was just about to go into a photography lesson on here!

To those who are still in the dark about the Jackman children:

Oscar is “a little of everything” according to Hugh. Black, Cherokee Indian and German….adopted in LA.

Ava is Hispanic/White and was adopted in TX.

Both Hugh and Deb were in the delivery room for both births.

@Leesa: Actually they were in the delivery room only at Oscar’s birth, Ava joined the family 4 days after her birth. Hugh Jackman himself says so in his interviews. Plus, they say that Ava is German/Mexican.
