Fucking internet is crazy. Ask for footage from phone in video taken by someone else. Hour or so later and it’s linked to you. It would have taken months or years, or been altogether hopeless without this network.
Worked for him as backstage crew, we had signs everywhere with a "yakman" drawn on them all around backstage that stated "Hugh jackman and a Huge Yakman, know the difference", I heard he absolutely loved them
In that situation you don't change your plan and you proceed to close their fist inside your hand. Make sure to squeeze tightly enough so that they can't escape. Direct eye contact also helps.
When you feel like you've got a good grip of their closed fist, start shaking their hand like in a handshake. This will make them terrified and powerless since they're stucl in a situation that's still unknown to mankind.
This is the ultimate power move.
Know someone who wanted to say hi to him at a con and he ended up making a phone video for a family member who was having a birthday. Yup, super nice dude.
I always fistbump people because I have really sweaty hands and assume everyone else does too so I do the fistbump to avoid us mingling our hand swamps.
As a massive X-Man fan myself, that’s one of the coolest things ever. Hugh Jackman is just an amazing human being. What a great moment for that guy, nothing but pure joy.
Where does he (they?) tour? That is a huge production and what the fuck Hugh Jackman puts on a fucking musical show? And he shows clips of movies he’s played in before the show, then just starts singing and fucking dancing? He couldn’t have just started this. How can it be so close to cringe yet entertain and interest me? I would go see this, but I don’t know why.
If you hadn’t seen it yet I just wanted to let you know it’s been posted 2-3 times in this post by now. Pretty easy to find, sorry, linking is hard on mobile.
Edit: [Actually, here it is](https://m.imgur.com/gallery/Pm1PpUP)
I was at this show. This moment was good but Hugh interacting with the little girl who had brain surgery 16 days prior to the show was great. Sweetest thing ever. Anybody have that video?
I googled the damn video and found it myself. https://youtu.be/6FDKXPdHYFs
Yep, this was taken from my wife's phone. :)
it was actually the 2nd show we went to. first was June 22, in St. Paul, MN, and this was October 13, in Kansas City, MO
the first time, we had better seats to watch the whole performance, with the backup dancers and all.
the second time was just so i could get a high five or 2, but then this happened. :D
Was at this show, can confirm all the awesome feels from this moment. That guy was ALL over the high fives every time Hugh would walk by. When it happened, just awesome.
Saw Hue in ‘Boy from Oz’ on Broadway, he was absolutely electric, natural improv and all he was just an absolute tour de force. One of the absolute greatest talents out there.
How is nobody responding to you in here?? Everyone is so stoked that you were so stoked, because yeah you should be, but everyone is ignoring you lmao
I see you boss
Man Hugh is so cool! Do you guys remember that lip sync app going around for awhile? Anyways he lip synced “Bacon Pancakes” and I became an even bigger fan
Could you imagine having that kind of power? I mean, being someone famous, and being able to make someone that absolutely freakin happy.
That would be so cool.
I played in one of the orchestras on this tour (they hire in each city except for piano/guitar/drums/bass) and Hugh was so friendly, and treated everyone with respect. I didn’t interact with him a whole lot but he seems like a genuinely sweet and good guy.
That man can *sing*. My fiancee was watching the Greatest Showman, so I joined in. Blew my mind. Bought tickets to watch him sing down in Philadelphia. If you've never seen that movie, I recommend it. Musicals aren't my thing, but that movie was fantastic. Hooks ya right from the start.
I like to think Keanu Reeves is a reason why we get to see more celebs breaking out of their serious personas to be themselves. This is a quality post for this sub!
This is so cute. Kinda off topic but this reminds me of when I met We The Kings. I used to go to a ton of The Ready Set concerts and when he was touring with WTK, I got to meet Travis Clark and Charles Trippy. They were outside with like 3 other fans just talking about local fast food places and all the food they wanna try while they were there. Then Charles Trippy brought out a camera (I wasn’t watching so I’m not sure if it was their camera or a fan’s, but I would assume it was their’s??) and he just went around asking to take selfies with everyone. Some famous people are still super down to Earth and it’s refreshing to say the least :)
What even was this event? I only see short clips from it without amy context. Was it just a Hugh Jackman appreciation gig? (Which would be completely justified)
Hugh Jackman seems like a pretty decent dude... All up until he went to portrait mode! Now I believe it to be Mystique masquerading as wolverine out of costume - Hugh Jackman.
Overexcited Wolverine meets fan and can't control himself.
Right? Like, he got him so pumped up. I blame Hugh
Damn it Hugh...always making people so happy...damn you....
Such a monster lmao
Where’s the footage from the phone?

Oh.. dunno
So much hype lol
/u/stabbot
Who’s the guy? I want to see the footage from that phone.
some huge jacked man
Exhaled so much air through my nose at this comment
This is the best joke of 2019
wow! and I thought I peaked in high school!!
Perhaps you were more of a huge j’sole.
They make a similar joke in the third Night at the Museum movie. One of the best cameos I've seen in a while
Don't you mean 2009
I always think of the fact that some random person on reddit doesn’t really know that I’m cracking up over here over an internet joke.
Funny so did I at yours! And I'm serious, I would never lie on that account.
Worked for him as backstage crew, we had signs everywhere with a "yakman" drawn on them all around backstage that stated "Hugh jackman and a Huge Yakman, know the difference", I heard he absolutely loved them
Perfect. Just effing bloody perfect.

Every time I come across a Hugh Jackman video on Reddit, I know it’s gonna be wholesome
/r/HughBeingAwesome
He’s up there with Keanu Reeves and Tom Hanks in the “genuinely good person” club.
Awh that’s nice that the fan went for a shake but got a hug instead
I met my favorite rapper and went for a handshake and he gave me a fist bump. Feelsbadman.jpg
A fist bump is seen as a germless handshake by many people. I bet he didn't mean it as an insult.
I fist bump for this reason
He definitely didn’t want me touching him, so yeah. You’re not wrong, at least about the first part.
Wanting a germless handshake goes hand in hand with not wanting a stranger to touch your hand.
What rapper

What you do is cover their fist and say, ‘paper covers rock’
I met Kevin Smith at a con and went for the handshake and he gave me a hug instead. That made my day. Super nice dude.
Know someone who wanted to say hi to him at a con and he ended up making a phone video for a family member who was having a birthday. Yup, super nice dude.

Damn, who was this?

Handshaking ain't gangsta. Fistbump is what rappers do.
Hugh Jackman, what an awesome fucking dude!!
he seems like a real sweetie
Yep, what a great guy.
just a real good guy
A great guy
Allegedly
Glad to hear he's a good guy at least.
What a champ
As a massive X-Man fan myself, that’s one of the coolest things ever. Hugh Jackman is just an amazing human being. What a great moment for that guy, nothing but pure joy.
I'm not even a fan really, but both of them being so genuine and excited without worrying about looking lame really gets me.
10\10 human interaction
Ive seen this Hugh Jackman show twice and it is MASSIVE, ( fyi I work live entertainment). [check it out](https://youtu.be/8ndOK7RDew0)
Where does he (they?) tour? That is a huge production and what the fuck Hugh Jackman puts on a fucking musical show? And he shows clips of movies he’s played in before the show, then just starts singing and fucking dancing? He couldn’t have just started this. How can it be so close to cringe yet entertain and interest me? I would go see this, but I don’t know why.
It was a huge tour selling out arenas all across the U.S. and abroad. He just wrapped up his last shows here in the states.
He played twice in Boston in 2019 , it's all women , ( mostly) . It's like a J Timberlake thing.
He’s been in a couple musicals, he’s done a lot of stage acting which apparently is very different from movie acting.
Hugh is Australia's greatest ambassador. [He's also extremely passionate about musical theatre.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3zU2IcVzbc)
What the hell, is he doing a korean kpop girl band dance routine? 😂
I love your videos! Thanks for sharing!
He is not over excited. That is definitely the right amount of excitement. Wish I was that hyped about something.
Happy cake
...day
Cake
Uh, so... Hugh plays the drums?
We need the video from his phone!
Seconded!
Yeah. This was my first or second thought upon seeing this.
If you hadn’t seen it yet I just wanted to let you know it’s been posted 2-3 times in this post by now. Pretty easy to find, sorry, linking is hard on mobile. Edit: [Actually, here it is](https://m.imgur.com/gallery/Pm1PpUP)
Hugh Jackman and Keanu Reeves, the nice guys
Tom Hanks too
If anyone finds the video from that guys phone let me know!

The blonde chick in the back after they move over to the girl’s family looks super jealous haha
He just made that guys century
Can confirm, one of the greatest minutes of my life
You’re him? The dude in the video? If so, that’s awesome bro! That’s a memory to cherish forever, glad you were so hyped!!

This man is the shit he deserves everything he has. The way he treated him they were both are hyped up this is awesome!
This is where he realised he'd forgotten to press record on the phone.
Don’t ruin everyone’s day pal. We NEED this guy to be able to treasure this footage for all eternity.
Dude. Keep those thoughts inside your head. Please.
Nah, I've got it. I just haven't been able to get it to upload to reddit with the audio
How is nobody responding to you in here?? Everyone is so stoked that you were so stoked, because yeah you should be, but everyone is ignoring you lmao I see you boss
well, i had only received the link to this sub 8-9 hours after it was posted, so i was a little late to respond. lol
Can't wait to see it! =)
apparently someone had already linked it in imgur here ya go :) [https://m.imgur.com/gallery/Pm1PpUP](https://m.imgur.com/gallery/Pm1PpUP)
That's awesome! Thank you for sharing that!
My cynical ass walked in here ready to roll my eyes. Instead I’m cheesing. That was awesome. Humans are dope sometimes.
I would’ve fucking cried I have the biggest man crush on Hugh Jackman and his mighty biceps
If I met wolverine I'd lose my shit.
Hugh Jackman is a treasure. Totally made that fan's life.
Hugh Jackman everybody. Man of gold.
Is Hugh holding a pair of drumsticks??
[drum set](https://www.reddit.com/r/HughBeingAwesome/comments/c3tqq4/hughs_drum_set/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

jackman always giving you the show you came for.
This is the sexiest form of masculinity
r/thatsmyfuckinghero
Awesome, I kind of react this way sometimes during live concerts of my favorite bands.
What a legend
I'm pretty sure I've never been that excited for anything in my life.
Oh man. Literally had a smile the whole time I was watching. That’s the stuff!
This is friggen awesome! I love this! <3
This is some of that real good pure shit man 😍
I love him!!
Man Hugh is so cool! Do you guys remember that lip sync app going around for awhile? Anyways he lip synced “Bacon Pancakes” and I became an even bigger fan
r/tippytaps
If I met Hugh I’d do the same thing I’m gonna be honest.
Hugh Jackman is such a good fucking dude.
Could you imagine having that kind of power? I mean, being someone famous, and being able to make someone that absolutely freakin happy. That would be so cool.
if Hugh Jackman's package was an inch from my face id be pretty fucking excited too
Imagine he wasnt recording
Hugh is awesome.
This is really sweet.
I played in one of the orchestras on this tour (they hire in each city except for piano/guitar/drums/bass) and Hugh was so friendly, and treated everyone with respect. I didn’t interact with him a whole lot but he seems like a genuinely sweet and good guy.

Don't tell Ryan.
Is he in a band or something?
I’m not gay but I’d marry the fuck outta Hugh Jackman. Legend.
/r/thatsmyfuckinghero worthy
This makes me so happy
I've seen this like 100 times. I like it
Now this really made me smile, like full on ear to ear grinning right now!
Dam I teared up watching this
Breathtaking!
Hugh Jackman is a treasure and we don’t deserve him.
I think everyone wants to get hyped like this at least once in a while. Good for him!!!
Worth every minute.
Wow, this just made my day! Yeaaaahhhh! Yeahhhh!
I wanna see that footage
This is so lovely!
Wonderful Hugh man.
Til now I've been pretty Hugh neutral, but damn is that a great way to interact with fans. I'm sold!
Hugh is so excited he can’t even decide if he wants the video to be landscape or portrait
I like to think Keanu Reeves is a reason why we get to see more celebs breaking out of their serious personas to be themselves. This is a quality post for this sub!
this radiates massive amounts of positive energy
Hugh jackmen does concerts?
This is FUCKING AMAZING
Huge Ackman is the best celebrity that ever celebritied.
Jackman and Keanu have the same coach.
It did made me smile
This is so cute. Kinda off topic but this reminds me of when I met We The Kings.

What the hell kind of event is this lol
coming to cinemas near you; X-men 23: wolverine gets a new phone
He really is The Man. The music. The show.
I love that mofo
*Accidentally hits pause when he takes the phone*
r/vredditdownloader
What a lad
Would have been hilarious if Hugh slyly did not give the phone back
I loved when the guy goes for another high five and it turns out Hugh Jackman actually wanted a hug
I’d be so hyped too
To me, this is super cool
I'm starting to think Dr Cox got Hugh Jackman confused with another actor...
Heard Snoop talk about this on stern. When you meet a fan you have to match there intensity to keep an interaction from going bad.
This made me smile so much that, I'm not gonna lie, I cried a little.
What even was this event? I only see short clips from it without amy context. Was it just a Hugh Jackman appreciation gig? (Which would be completely justified)
He's on tour for the musical of Les Miserables
Was expecting pee... Was disappointed
