Hollywood star Hugh Jackman has already been to India once and as After Hrs caught up with the actor, he reveals that he can’t wait to come down once again. “My experience in India was wonderful. I visited Jaipur too.. I loved it and would definitely like to visit again,” he shares excitedly. And though he admits that he hasn’t really got much time since his last visit to check out any of the Bollywood films recommended by his B-Town buddies, he says that he’s quite keen to catch up on them. “I didn’t get that kind of time, but I would love to watch more and more Bollywood films for sure.”
The actor who seemed rather comfortable doing a jig with actors Vidya Balan and Shah Rukh Khan on stage during his last visit, adds that dance is something that would be one of the biggest draw to do films here and says that he’s open to considering offers here. “I would like to work here. Why not?”
Recalling his meeting with Vidya and Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan, he says, “Indian actresses are extremely beautiful. It was fun doing a jig with Vidya.” As for Shah Rukh, he adds, “He is a very kind person. I have seen his film loved it.”
While Hugh doesn’t shy away from praising his Bolly counterparts, the Australian hunk prefers to downplay his own ‘sexiest man’ title. “I am very humbled with the title, but I really can’t say what is sexy about me,” says the actor.
But right now, what the actor’s really excited about is, his forthcoming film in which he plays a heavyweight boxer who has to make a living out of plying and promoting robots in fights. Talking about his role, Hugh reveals that he could easily relate to the inner turmoil that his character goes through in Real Steel. “To a certain extent I can relate with Charlie. I can’t say that my life has ever been as much a collection of failures as his. But I can relate to the fear of failing. I can understand fully the feeling that the second chance is more frightening than the first,” he shares.
