Hugh Jackman Wants Unknown To Star With Him In New Film!!
Filed under: Film Flickers > Hugh Jackman
In case you were wondering, Hugh Jackman is not only the SEKSIEST, but also the nicest guy on the planet.
Now he plans on showing, once again, what a decent person he is by holding open auditions to star alongside him in a new flick!!
The flick, Real Steel, has an uncast part for Jackman's character's 11 year old son, and the Australian hottie and director, Shawn Levy, are looking for an unknown child actor to get his big break!
Says Levy,
"We're actually looking for a young actor to play Hugh's son in the movie from DreamWorks, so if you think you're maybe our guy, go to realsteelcasting.com for more information on how to audition. It could be you."
Good for them!!! Some kid's life is about to get AWESOME.

I wish I was an 11 year old boy. Darn it!!! To work next to Hugh Jackman would be a dream! Yummy!
Or completely destroyed. I dont understand this fame equals happiness culture. Perez, I think you are cool, but I think kids are generally better off being just kids and not get into all that celebshit. Its not real and the values that you get judged by are embty and shallow.
nice gesture but it is going to cause a stampede of rejection … poor kids
I JUST saw this on the Michigan Film Office website…..very cool!
Hmmm….or spoil the kid's life. Childhood fame is not all it is cracked up to be. From now to at least teh age of 18, this kid will be judged, called a one-hit wonder, followed everywhere with unreal exptations being placed on them. Not to mention additional roles in crappy, over-exposed movies. Dakota Fanning anyone?
it's also cheaper…….
it's very cheap of them…..Slumdog Austrailia everybody!!!
Dam this man is so fricken sexy…..Yum Yum!!!!
Very nice… but also a smart move.
What if they casted a already famous kid actor? Then all spotlight wouldn't be on Hugh. Just saying.
Re: Jessica_Sweden – Yeah, sure, like he would care about such a thing. He isn´t Brad Pitt. To find an unknown kid is a great idea - and, there are not many talented 11-year old actors. Some older, yes, but definitely not in this age.
Re: Jadzia – No, I couldn't think of any instantly actually…
But it COULD'VE been like that. And why would Brad Pitt do such a thing? :S
I think Hugh seems like a nice guy.
Idiot this happens all the time. Unknown kids are cast to co star with major actors. Abigail Breslin was an unknown actress when she was cast in Signs opposite then big star Mel Gibson. Do you think that Dakota Fanning was famous before her first movie! At one point or other every single celebrity was an unknown, except for a kid of a celebrity. Saoirse Ronan was an unknown before Atonement. Peter Jackson cast her in The Lovely Bones for the reason that she was unknown. Little did he know that she would have such success with Atonement. I really think you are stupid.
Re: Jessica_Sweden – Well, I thought Brad Pitt actually could mind that he has some talented kid next to him. But it was probably a bad comparison from me because I don´t like Brad
Yes, Hugh Jackman is a nice guy and I don´t think he cares about spotlight. He supports young actors. But I think there really isn´t an actor boy right now. Few girls, but not a boy. At least not in this age.
Awesome Hugh.. Love ya!
Hes the only male actor i like. Hes always nice to people in interviews.
Hes good looking too How rare! Better than saggy faced brad pitt.
People who are complete asses .. robert downey jr and jessica whore alba
an unknown?
how about his boyfriend?
I love him even more now!
The niceness he exports will only last a couple more years (it ALWAYS wears off with stars who progressively become more successful). Then we will see ol' Hugh slugging photogs and hear about him pushing around his old lady. Set a watch to it Perezzie!
Overrated NOT CUTE or good actor
Most people don't know that Hugh Jackman is also classically trained in Ballet. He was the first actor who had part of Curly in Oklahoma who also danced the dream sequence. The man never fails to amaze me for his abilities and for being a decent human being!
Re: tohotforthisshiz – Unless you are fortunate to have people who do what is necessary to remind you that you are just a human being. Dakota Fanning ( hope i got her last name right) is a good example of this. Nice kid.
Re: dave_o – He about the most straight man you will ever meet. He doesn't have the hang ups that people like you have.
HOT!
I think it's Great they are giving a kid their big break, It's a nice thing to do and I think they should use a kid from Michigan where they are filming the movie
Seriously … I Auditioned for this film. - And it was crazy!! there was a line going around the block!! -(And manhatten blocks are looong) It was alot of waiting. and you didnt really audition. But i hope i get a role. :T
