Watch how Hugh Jackman dons commentators garbs for Ashes Boxing Day Test

Hugh Jackman, like a true blue Australian, attended the Boxing Day Test match of ongoing Ashes series on Tuesday. But it's really not that simple with the Hollywood/Broadway star.

Jackman is Down Under to promote his upcoming movie The Greatest Showman and celebrate Christmas with the family – wife Deborra-Lee Furness and kids Oscar and Ava.

The Wolverine guy was joined by Zac Efron and Zendaya for the Australian premier of the movie.

After the premier, Jackman whisked away his family for a downtime to celebrate Christmas at home. They went surfing, light hunting and even decorated the Christmas tree.

On Boxing Day, he was the guest commentator for Triple M radio station in Sydney. During the first session of the Test match, he showed off his calling skills when Australian players David Warner and Cameron Bancroft were on the pitch.

At a certain point, bringing in his singing prowess to the table, Jackman tried to sing English pacer Chris Woakes' name and is immediately stopped.

When Woakes' ball hit Bancroft on the pad, Jackman missed and attributed the mistake to the pressure of fellow commentators carefully listening to him.

A solid commentary effort by @RealHughJackman, but he certainly had some strong feedback from the @triplemcricket team! #Ashes pic.twitter.com/0VKyKolawQ
