Yes, now with that much clearer look---that's definitely Hugh's father. So glad he's well enough to see his son on that prestigious stage again.

cdn02.cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/headlines/2013/03/hugh-jackman-two-million-followers-on-twitter.jpgHe plays: *Aussie rules rugby ( not too far off from American football) *Golf *Tennis ( according to Liev S, Hugh plays awesome tennis) *Cricket ( although in the Behind-the-scenes for Les Mis, he seems to be batting a baseball instead) *Basketball And we know -- *He is a great swimmer *And a champ track and fielder when he was young *And impressed Sugar Ray during the filming of Real Steel. *He showed us his riding skills in Australia but I do not know if he can do equestrian sports *Also, he learned stunt driving for Swordfish but can he play a racing car driver? Okay -- will he ever play a sports icon in a biopic or a story about an athlete??? Jo

Jo, do you have a link to that behind-the-scenes video of Hugh batting a baseball? I don't think I ever saw that one... Also (since you are our Les Mis expert ) do you remember which Les Mis interview or behind the scenes video clip showed Hugh (in the background) giving one of the Students tips on how to "fall" when "shot"? Now that I've seen the movie, I'd appreciate it more, and would like to see if I can recognize the student, but I can't seem to find the link to that particular clip. Thanks! Alma

I love the dog's little jacket. He's almost as cute as Hugh!

Not sure if he was batting a baseball or a cricket ball ( they were filming in England ) -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQDMs__TbIIThis is part of several Behind-the-scenes come-ons for the new Blu-ray/DVD release. Jo

Can anyone identify the shoes Hugh is wearing. I need to go shopping. I don't know what they are but they look very soft and comfortable! The markings on the bottom might be a clue. Happy hunting! Sue

Those are DEFINITELY Adidas... I went to the adidas site and those three stripes are a giveaway, but I didn't see any that had that black spot on the bottom or looked to be that thin soled and soft topped. The closest I saw was the Superstar (fitting) They may be a specialty item or I just didn't l look in the right place.

Might they have an Archives section to browse through? The soles of the shoes are not a brand-new white, but a broken-in white... But then again, there are times when the streets around NYC, are not exactly the cleanest in the world...

WOW! Thank you, Valerie!!! That's the one. Oh, he's too far away and blocked part of the time. I wish we had a whole array of videos of Hugh during "waiting time". Alma

Now, this is of course a rhetorical question, but don't we all think THIS is the real thing, real MASTERFUL ACTING? When Hugh can goof around between takes, batting a ball, and then slip into what we now know is a brilliant Jean Valjean, or generously coach a young actor on how to "take a bullet" convincingly, and at the same time be everyone's emotionally constant rock? Wouldn't we all see it as a terrible "affectation" on his part if everyone had to tiptoe around him, calling him Mr. President er, Monsieur Valjean so he "could stay in character"? Alma

I guess each and every actor works out what is best for him, artistically-speaking. Hugh did talk about the Stanislavsky method ( which presumably is all about method acting) and even mentioned a second book because he did undergo a full course on acting ( a BS degree with WAAPA?). He talked about it the first time he was on Inside the Actors Studio. I do not know much about acting methods -- but I wonder if method acting works best with film actors where they can really isolate themselves even between takes so they do not lose their internalizing the character. Other method actors I know include Marlon Brando, although didn't he start in theatre first? Hugh must fuse both his training and practical experience from theatre and film to know what works best for him. All I have noticed with him is how easily he can summon emotions ( like shed tears down his cheek for a few nights' performances in A Steady Rain) on stage. On film, one can be assisted by artificial means or maybe wait until the time is right to show overt emotional expressions...On stage, it is very much what is in the moment. LOL - I really know very little about acting Jo

His beard is really getting grey! Did anyone see him on Marie? I saw Pts. 1 & 3 only. She is definitely smitten with Hugh! ;D

I was looking at the family in those pictures and couldn't help thinking that while Ava is still in the "cute" stage with her very expressive little face, Oscar is looking like he's going to be one heck of a handsome man when he grows up! Alma
