You should know who Hugh Jackman is

My best friends don’t know who Hugh Jackman is, and I honestly don’t get it. I’m guessing my friends just don’t recognize him, because this man has been in a bunch of popular movies and it’s bizarre to not have seen any of them. Plus, I think Hugh Jackman is so underrated. I would like to think that people recognize him immediately, and at least not mistaken him for Vin Diesel.

You have probably seen him in at least one of these movies:
The X-Men Series. He plays the best character (in my opinion) in the X-Men series. I mean, they made a prequel just for Wolverine. How can you have missed all three movies and not seen all the promotion for X-Men Origins: Wolverine?

The Prestige. Everybody loves movies that are filled with mystery, suspense, and Hugh Jackman as a questionable character. This movie was seen even more then The Illusionist.

Holy wow The Prestige was a good movie.

Australia. This movie is epic and the trailer even makes it look epic. Although there is no singing (except a small bit by Nicole Kidman) which is slightly disappointing.

Hugh Jackman's Australian accent.

Van Helsing. Hugh Jackman plays a character that hunts monsters, and Kate Beckinsale’s accent is slightly ridiculous. What’s not to like about this movie?

I really like his gun thingy.

Kate & Leopold. This movie contains many lulzy quotes from Hugh Jackman.

Fresh creamery butter. Is there anything more comforting? I say there is. And perhaps you’ll agree when you sample fat-free Farmer’s Bounty with the genuine essence of creamery butter in every bite. With every mouthful of Farmer’s Bounty you shall receive butter’s luxurious comfort in your mouth without adding to the luxury of your waistline.

— One of the many lines spoken in an English accent by Hugh Jackman.

Swordfish. Hugh Jackman has a very geeky montage, an earring (only one), and a make out scene with Halle Berry. Plus, John Travolta has a strange haircut.

I love Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman!

Sorry, I couldn't find any good stills of this movie, so I give you some Kidman/Jackman love.

Scoop. Woody Allen, Scarlett Johansson, and Hugh Jackman make up such a great comedy/mystery combination.

This is truly a laugh-out-loud movie.

If you’ve never seen any of his movies (which is impossible), just remember that he has really built/large arms. :P And for those who have seen Hugh Jackman movies, what are your favorites?
