Hugh Jackman: It Took Over 7 Years To Get ‘The Greatest Showman’ Made | TODAY
So many people are commenting about how he should stick with the action movies but people forget that Hugh Jackman started with Broadway.
Yeah, I really missed him as a Wolverine. But, when he do the musical, he looks more happy :D
SimplyFantastic True he was in Ockahama, Beauty and The Beast. He even started in TV shows in Australia where he met his future wife Debbie . Then he moved to Hollywood starring in XMen in 2000 and starred in 2 rom com's Someone Like You and Kate and Leopold.
Very versatile actor and hot
He loved Wolverine. It was just time for him to leave it. The workouts took a toll on him. Otherwise he wouldn't of pushed to make Logan. Logan and The Greatest Showman are his passion projects
Oh my gosh!!! I didn’t know that and it makes so much sense!!!
SimplyFantastic most actors who are not versatile are boring anyway
This guy was born to do what he is doing
This movie was Hugh's best in my opinion tied with Real Steel. I didn't expect to enjoy Greatest Showman so much
Kris LaWho this guy is Hugh jackman. I SAYS IT IN THE TITLE
scottandlogan russak Wasn't necessary for you to correct him or her
Manuel Orozco Les Miserables is better for me.
狩獵大師 OSCAR Never saw it didn't spark my interest
Hugh Jackman is such an incredible person. A talented actor and a great human being. A true role model! 😊
CESCCVIpr3109 Yup and hot too. The dude can sing, act and dance.
Disney65Fan and also turn soldiers into mince meat
"for any kids out there, i don't care if you want to be a mechanic, make pizza, dance. If you love it, YOU DO IT don't care what anybody else says."
He is such a great role model and such a great accepting dad.

This is just the kind of passion and love that this world needs! I started writing a book about Accepting yourself in and unacceptable world, and when I saw this movie this past week, I seriously almost fainted with such high emotions because I had not idea a movie could so powerful. This movie on so many levels confirmed everything I've written in my book this far, and inspired me to push through this writing process and keep at This! I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I LOVE THAT WE CAN SEE THESE sessions of them practicing and feel their passion! THIS IS REALLY WHAT LIFE IS ABOUT.
I would want Hugh Jackman as a dad tbh
Adelyn Tiong I LOVE PIZZA!!!!
Thank you! Exactly! I'm a musician, and I'm not going to care about what other people say. And I have never really cared what people have said except the good stuff.
"I had someone sing for me" yeah freaking JEREMY JORDAN 😍😍
Has Hugh Jackman acknowledged Jeremy Jordan’s contributions?
@@MichaelTFarm well if you want to get technical he is acknowledging him her, albeit not by name :/ idk if he's ever outright said that Jeremy Jordan contributed to the movie before it was fully greenlit though
Hugh Jackman is seriously a one of a kind human being. My favourite actor of all time
"Can we wait until after the performance?"
"No...it's cancer"
I don't know why but I couldn't stop laughing at that
Yes Man the life of a theatre kid
Lol same lmao
Saw this movie last night and went out and bought the soundtrack right after so great!!!!
This movie is a game changer! I have never fallen in love with a movie like I have this one. Just breath taking and amazing and just WOW!
I cant stop listening to the soundtrack... I’ve also seen it 4 times all ready. Yeah it might’ve taken 7 years, but it was so worth it!
This is not art,
This is the celebration of humanity
😉
This movie was simply stunning. The music is beautiful and the acting is great.
"Ladies and gents this is the moment you've been waiting for"
Been searching in the dark your sweat soaking through te floor
And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore
Taking your breath, stealing your mind, and all that was real is left behind
Dont fight it, its coming for ya, running at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
He was so good in Les Miserable, now this. Awesome!!!
Josh Town I was thinking the same thing
You should look up his Tony Awards performance from The Boy From Oz in 2004! His musicality for Broadway is amazing! I hope he does many many more musicals!
24601
Sean Ramirez right😂
Was he tho? Cause I remember wincing a lot when he was singing in the movie.. acting was good.. singing,, ehh not so much.
"Someone sang the songs for me"
Thank God for Jeremy Jordan singing in for Hugh
Hugh Jackman will always be awesome at any role he plays... Stop typecasting !
I miss his mullet from Chappie lol
yup..chuppy..that not bad
Darren Jackman when its release??
Darren Jackman That was just a speculation and the last of us movie was cancelled ages ago.
Hugh Jackman will always be my Wolverine
ScarlettP mine too
When I was at the theatre I whispered "so this is what wolverine did when he wasn't fighting wars" and the people in front and next to me cracked up
ScarlettP you are everywhere
I wish they could perform in Oscars!
One day, Chappie would see a worn copy of the casting call for "unique" performers in the circus. He would run away and join the circus, becoming Barnum's main star. But then Deon would come find him and drag him away, with his hand servo pulling Chappie's orange ear thing.
This movie deserve OSCAR!!!
A great actor.
The more seeing him the more admire him.
Thank you Hugh
I’ve seen the movie twice this week... I would seriously watch it again. 😊 It was so good!!!!!!
Neva Hidajat I’ve seen it twice already and I’m seeing it again on Friday. Never had an experience like that in the theater before
I've seen it twice today LOL. I love it so much!
Neva Hidajat me too! I've seen it twice and I could go see it again and again! I absolutely loved it!
i just saw it twice too! literally 2 days ago and I went again by myself today hahha
i have the mivie and this is my 6th time in a row watching it
The footage i've seen so far is so beautiful!!!!! Don't know about major awards like Best Picture, but hope the film won't be overlooked in sets, costumes and cinematography. Just stunning stuff so far.
Lonell Fletcher i think it will be nominated for 10 oscars
footyfan101ful you lips, God’s ears
I don't think it's going to be nominated for anything at the Oscars. Maybe for costumes or sets or best song, but probably not much else. It was completely snagged at the SAG awards and unfortunately it's looking like critics will be against it.
Theresa Mahfood that’s what I’m sorta thinking. Most critics might think its lightweight compared to other films this year, but I am hoping for sets and costumes and definitely music. It looks and sounds wonderful!!!!!!
I'm seeing this movie no matter what the response to the public. Let' cross our fingers 3 nominations in that order
Ugh he has such a beautiful soul. 😢😢
Hugh is awesome! Can't wait for the movie! And that someone singing for him in the workshop was Jeremy Jordan ;)
inka2x wait really?? That’s so cool!
Yeah! :) You can see him in the "From Now On" video th-cam.com/video/PluaPvhkIMU/w-d-xo.html
When I saw Jeremy in one of the bts videos I screamed ( Andrew was there too )
I did wonder why he was there.. as he is not in the movie.. another incredible actor and singer
Yes, he is! ;) I think he was originally there to read and sing Zac's part, but then sang for Hugh as well.
A great great movie it was amazing. The music is beautiful. This movie needs to win every award
Every award except worst movie
There is nothing to dislike about this guy!! Good looking and wow personality!! Lurveee him!!!
pindu04 his in 49 but still personality wise 👌🏻
Hugh Jackman you are so inspiring and my favorite actor
He's more happy doing musicals💞 It's truly his passion 💖 He's so down to earth and talented 😭💕
This was an amazing movie you won't be disappointed! Singing dancing and so much action!
One of the best actors alive. He is a big inspiration for me to keep trying to pursue a career in acting :)
I am so proud of Hugh for fighting this movie
We loved every second of this movie! The music, the dancing, the singing, the characters....I was almost breathless! We rarely go to see a movie twice, but this one is a must!
We saw it in theater and it was the best movie I’ve seen in a while!
Broadway misses Hugh Jackman so much! Also Patrick Wilson!
I loved The Greatest Showman. Music, Dancing, the entire movie. Thank you Hugh Jackson and the entire cast. I cannot get the music out of my head.
Hugh Jackman and the WHOLE CAST DID A PHENOMENAL JOB!!!!!!!!! This movie put me back in the mode to love again. LOVE HAS NO COLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m so happy to see this interview I really needed this
Great movie, great guy, and can I just say that interviewer is really good!! She made the whole thing feel like a conversation while asking questions, explaining things, getting him to explain things etc etc!
After seeing this movie I told my parents that psychology was dead to me and I insisted I wanted to become a trapeze artist! They laughed at me!
Why not both??
If you wanted.
GO FOR IT
There is so much joy in doing what you love. Money can't buy that. But it may not get you respect, because of the sad ways of the world. Money gets you respect. It's sad it's an either or.
literally same ahhhh i want to fly with zac efron too ahhaa
Omg same I want to be a Trapeze artist and fly with *shawn mendes* and be a dancer
he is a sweetheart
Hands down one of the best movies I have ever seen! I saw it a few days ago and cried 3 times during the movie. Keala Settle is one of the reasons I went to go see it since I am such a huge fan of Broadway. She was absolutely amazing in the movie and so was everyone else in it. I was blown away.
Anya WAIIIITREEEEESSSSS
He is so down to earth person, he speaks with passion . He really listen to the persons in front of him and gives responds from the heart❤ A true role model!!👏👏
Hugh jackman is an absolute amazing person he doesn’t judge people for what they wanna do or what they look like he genuinely the greatest actor ever
I watched it today and it was AMAZINGGGGGGGGG. I HAD GOOSEBUMPS THE WHOLE TIME! I LOVED IT
I'm really excited for this film
Amazing actor😍
What a great interview!
Love this interview!!
A million dream, that is my favorite song in this movie..
I have seen this movie twice and plan to see it again soon. I haven't bought an album for decades, but went out immediately and bought the soundtrack. An amazing movie. I love Hugh Jackman in this role.
he’s such an amazing person :’)
such a beautiful soul!
ahhh love Hugh😍😍
This movie is the best!!!!! The soundtrack has non stop been playing in my room! It’s so good!😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💕💕💕
I'm planning to watch it a third time tomorrow, the film is just one of a kind because everyone in it is so exceptionally talented. We listen and watch yet to create this masterpiece with music that will stick in your head forever...that is stuff of legends...
That was a great interview. From both Hugh Jackman and the interviewer. 💯
His eyes are amazing
*I NEED A PART 2 OF THIS FILM*
My favorite movie of this year!! Saw it twice and would see it again. Love, Love, Love it!!
I haven't seen Hugh in a leading role since Real Steel six years ago. So he must be so lucky to be back in his musical roots after a while. The more surreal part is it took almost a decade for him to be paired with Zac Efron since the 2009 Oscars for a movie.
Manuel Orozco wolverine, logan, les mis are all movies he was a leading or supporting actor
I just wasn't interested in those movies that's all. By the way I loved Greatest Showman
so inspiring!
Movie was excellent!!!!
For me this movie and soundtrack is a MUST
he got cancer 😢😢😢😢 i hope it doesnt come back😢😢😢
Aqilah Ali yeah he had it for some time now.
Aqilah Ali he got it out he’s ok :)
He'll be fine, he is the Wolverine =)))
It wasn't the first time he had it 😕
I love Hugh, and honestly so happy that this movie happened. All of his hard work paid off. Honestly the best movie ever. And the soundtrack is amazing. It’s just magical ❤️
I luv him even more after seeing The Greatest Showman
He is such a beautiful human being! We need more Hugh Jackmans!
What a great interviewer, even Hugh was impressed!
I'm so glad they made this movie! I'm a big fan of musicals but this one is my new favorite. I just watched it and can't wait to show it to my granddaughter. Thank You so much Hugh Jackman!!
I watched the movie last week and man I loved it so much. It's so good
I saw it on New Year's Day and I agree
Love this film, soo good!
Love love LOVE this video!! Twas sooo amazing to watch & listen! The movie is Da BOMB! Every human being must watch it!!!
I love you hugh
Anything greatest showman makes me wanna cry. I love this movie and everything about it!!!!
I can not get over his quirky half smile even when he speaks😭😍😱

This moment when you just watch greatest showman for the third time and you still sit in the cinema and wait for hugh to extend his blades😂
