Hugh Jackman Quotes

I would like to be in a superhero movie where I do martial arts.

I consider myself a martial artist and an actor. They can work together or individually. I love to do action. I love having a good role in which I can act and fight. That's double happiness.

When you're doing superhero stunts, the objective is to look as cool as humanly possible.

The one thing I haven't done that would be so cool would be, like, an action movie. Like a real action, Jason Bourne movie or something.

The funny thing is, I've never really hurt myself in an action movie. I've done 'Wanted,' 'X-Men,' 'Welcome To The Punch,' even 'Trance' to a certain extent has little bits of action and stuff, but I've never really hurt myself at all - not even like a sprained ankle.

I've never played a character where I've had so much fun on the physical end. I don't want to say I like it too much but it's fun having a gun on you and getting to manhandle men.
