Hugh Jackman: Real Steel Is The First Of My Movies My Kids Like

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Hugh Jackman has finally made a film that gets the stamp of approval from his two children. The actor might be best known for playing X-Mens Wolverine (in movies that son Oscar, 11, daughter Ava, 6, have yet to see), but Hughs kids are all about giant boxing robots. This is the first time theyve really connected with one of my films. I dont let them watch X-Men, Hugh told Access Hollywood at the Real Steel junket in Los Angeles on Saturday. Most of the time they dont really ask me much about my job. They come on set, but its just dad, its normal, he continued. This is the first time they were like, We love this! And they wanna take their friends. They have all the action figures. My son sleeps with Adam the robot. Hugh said that his sons love of the Real Steel script helped seal the deal on him doing the movie. I read this script for the first time with my son I was like being a bad parent and instead of reading Tintin, I read Real Steel and my son made me read it to him for the next 10 nights, he explained. So, I knew we were on to a winner then. Hugh also chatted with Access about his recent WWE appearance where he was seen going Real Steel on wrestler Dolph Zigglers face. It is scripted entertainment, but I gotta tell you, what goes on in that ring is real! he told Access. [Dolph] is looking at me saying, You hit me man! He goes, Dont you embarrass me out there. So I take direction well. But did Hugh fracture Dolphs jaw as the wrestler claimed on Twitter following the September 19 event? I think hes exaggerating. Dolph likes to exaggerate, Hugh said with a smile. I did send him a case a beer afterwards. In Australia we have a beer after we fight. Real Steel bashes its way into theaters on October 7.
