Hugh Jackman surprises young Wolverine superfan for make a Wish Foundation

An Australian boy with Cystic Fibrosis was thrilled to get the chance to chat with his hero, Hugh Jackman, on live air while visiting a local radio station. But little did nine-year-old Domenic know that the Wolverine himself was actually waiting in another room at the station, preparing to surprise the young comic book fan.

When the hosts of the “Kyle & Jackie O Show” got the Australian actor on the line, they informed him that one of his biggest fans was in the studio, eager to chat with him. He was told Jackman was on set, filming.

“Hi Hugh Jackman,” said Domenic, bursting with excitement.

“You can call me, Hugh,” the Wolverine replied. “You don’t have to call me by my full name.”

Domenic, who had made a request to meet the actor through Make a Wish, then asked him what his favourite Wolverine action pose and line was. Jackman replied, “Hang on one sec, I’m going to find a really cool way to show you!” Seconds later the star burst into the studio and struck a fierce Wolverine pose. He then gave Dominic a big hug.

When Jackman asked the star-struck fan to give him his Wolverine imitation, the boy replied in a menacing voice: “Don’t make me pull out my claws!” He then told him that his favourite line was too vulgar to share on air.

Jackman wrapped up the dream by stating that Dominic was his favourite fan before inviting the young boy to visit the set of a show he’s currently working on.
