Maybe they know Ralph as he was Hugh's brother? Of course is hard to find any photos of young man Ralph. The only recent photo I remember seeing him in was one in recent years where he was seen walking with Hugh at the West Village. Also, biodata wise, it is easier to see updates on eldest brother Ian who became a fairly prominent barrister. I just thought the young man in the photo looked a lot more like this young man in the photo celebrated by WAAPA when he came back to announce the Jackman-Furness Foundation -- Older, but nice article on Ian's career as a barrister. www.smh.com.au/nsw/dont-mess-with-these-xmen-20121027-28c7e.html

Thanks for that photo -- Hugh does have long legs! And he does take after their mother Grace a bit more than Ralph does.
Hugh did go to The University of Technology in Sydney for his communications degree( 3-4 year course. where he discovered the fascination for acting in his graduating year). He was able to go to WAAPA ( in faraway Perth) because of the bequest of his late grandmother and had taken all sorts of jobs to support himself ( one was as a waiter in Valentino's)-- and when he came back for TBFO-Perth, I remember how markedly different the pricing was compared to the ticket prices in Sydney and Melbourne. Also, many students from WAAPA were given background roles in the show -- all these because he acknowledged what WAAPA and Perth had done to help launch his career. Even more splendid was his announcement that the first major grant of the Jackman-Furness Foundation was for WAAPA. But he has not forgotten UTS either -- he was also given an award for Most Outstanding Alumni sometime ago, and like WAAPA ( although not in the same magnitude) he has also made some form of grant to the institution. He has also supported the Actors Centre in Sydney, where he spent a year's course in acting (The Journey) after UTS before he went to WAAPA.

Thanks for the article on Ian -- He does share Hugh's sense of humor Seriously, I was most impressed when I first read about him way back when I learned that Hugh's eldest brother was a Rhodes scholar ( "It is widely regarded as 'the most prestigious scholarship in the world' ".)! It seems both he and Hugh received their initial college education in Sydney, with Hugh at UTS and Ian at the University of Sydney. Hugh went away to WAAPA while Ian went to Oxford in England under a Rhodes scholarship grant.

But regards to Ralph, if he did attend WAAPA (which would be "new news", based on this conversation among what seems to be a group of old classmates there), then it seems Hugh followed his brother's early path a bit more than we maybe realized. A year at Uppingham, initially studying journalism, and WAAPA. Although eventually, it seems Ralph followed Hugh's lead into theater.

Upphingham ( in Rutland) is fairly close to Norwich - so I wonder whether that choice to spend their gap years ( Hugh was a teaching assistant mainly) could be to be close to their Mum ( who lives in Norwich)? Hugh also went back to Upphingham to look up the school where he helped teach students in drama and physical education while filming Les Miserables in England. www.uppingham.co.uk/hollywood-star-hugh-jackman-returns-to-uppingham

Perfect viewing for sunsets towards the west side...but also ...one of west side Manhattan's amazing wind tunnels

Caught by the cameramen of EOnline -- It looks like he was leading them to the vehicle. Hugh seems dressed for a more formal event than dog-walking

Was this his way of telling us that he spent some time at LAX airport I wonder why he used the hashtag referring to PAN? Btw, too bad he turned down the film adaptation of the stage musical CITY OF ANGELS. According to the late Larry Gelbart, co-creator for City of Angels, the roles of STONE AND STING was offered to him but he was not interested at that time. Hugh would have been great in the dual roles of the detective writer and the fictional detective in that witty musical. nypost.com/2008/05/02/wish-hugh-were-here/ Jo

Good if he is doing some promo-related work for PAN! The initial buzz was not so great and it is speculated that it was part of the reason for the change in release dates.

I guess the kids' school terms have ended already? Private schools probably have an earlier end-term date than do public.
