Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman didn't always want to be an actor. He earned a degree in communications, with a major in journalism, from the University of Technology in Sydney.

It wasn't until he took a drama theory class in his senior year that he was bit by the acting bug. He later enrolled in the Western Australian Academy of Arts.

Before he became one of Hollywood's most ruggedly handsome stars he worked as a gas station attendant and a birthday party clown. He currently holds the record of playing the same character—Wolverine, seven times-- in a movie series.
