Hugh Jackman: "It's Like Tom Brady With The 191st Pick In The Draft" (PHOTOS)

Posted October 5, 2011 by Rachel Samara for Global Grind Staff

Hugh Jackman is sexy as a MF and he knows it! Why do you think he's always running around with his shirt off?

The 42-year-old looks half his age and stars alongside the beautiful Evangeline Lilly in his upcoming movie Real Steel, out this Friday.

In the film, which takes place in the future, robots replace humans in boxing. Hugh's character, a former boxing champion, teams up with his son played by Dakota Goyo, to build a champion robot boxer.

We caught up with Hugh to chat him up about being a daddy, training to become a boxer and of course, his role in the film.

GlobalGrind: We always want what's hot. In Real Steel there's this idea that we throw away the things we think are worthless and are junk, when they can end up being so valuable. 

Hugh Jackman: We are very quick to throw things away. It’s a very expendable society: 'Oh enough, I want the latest thing.' We don’t realize sometimes we’re throwing away the very things that we need. And here is an example in this robot that reminds me of the sports movie Brady 6, which is about Tom Brady, who was the 191st pick in the draft.

Six quarterbacks were picked ahead of him and he now is a Hall of Famer and they criticized his physique, his speed, the spiral on the ball, but no one ripped open his chest and looked into his heart. That is what this movie is about. It’s about what have you got in here, that’s the difference.
