It must be rotten being Hugh Jackman. Everyone thinks you’ve got metal claws coming out of your knuckles and you have a face like a leper’s sandal. Still, at least he’s obscenely wealthy eh? What could possibly worry him?
Well, for your information, Hugh is very worried, actually.
By what? you don’t ask? We’ll tell you anyway. He’s frightened of online imposters. Not sharks. Not being stabbed through the rib cage with a pitchfork. He’s frightened of people playing make believe.
Of course, this is massively ironic given that Jackmanator is a man who is paid to pretend to be someone else.
Either way, he’s signed up to Facebook and Twitter (apparently – we really can’t be bothered checking because it’ll invariably be a steady stream of vaguely sanctimonious nonsense and self-help quotes) in a bid to tackle the scourge that is impostery.
The X-Men (he’s not been in anything else, ever) star says:
“There are 360 fake Hugh Jackmans on Facebook. My friends think they are conversing with me but they’re not.”
Apparently, friends were alarmed when Jackson seemed rather engaging and interesting when talking on Facebook chat.
“The idea of people pretending to be me and others believing it is me is frightening. I want to encourage the impersonators to have a life.”
Presumably, he wants their lives to start with buying a ticket to watch Real Steel, Jackman’s latest movie, which sees the actor pretending to train robots to punch each other.
Brilliant.
