Hugh Jackman | French, English

As we promised, we included the great Hugh Jackman! Well, he is here for the reason that he can speak both English and French. Not too shabby, right? While he is promoting his stand-alone film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he floored everyone by speaking his second language. Don’t worry; we are also wondering what other secrets the actor hides under his sleeves.

Hugh Michael Jackson was born on October 12, 1968, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. He finished his degree, BA in Communications, at the University of Technology, Sydney, in 1991. Jackson married actress Deborra-Lee Furness in 1996 and eventually adopted two children named Ava Eliot and Oscar Maximillian. Aside from weaving his iron claws towards bad guys, Jackson also showed versatility in numerous other genres. Some of these are roles in movies such as Les Miserables, Van Helsing, and the very popular The Greatest Showman, where he received a Grammy Award for Best Soundtrack Album.
