If one ever needed proof that Hugh Jackman is the nicest guy in Hollywood, this would be it.
The 51-year-old Australian actor surprised a young fan on Tuesday, sending her a special birthday video via Instagram.
āHi Julia. Iām so proud of you. Keep concentrating! I love @elmo too. Happy birthday! Love Hugh,ā he captioned the clip shared on his social media account.
Hughās video was to a young girl Julia, who had previously recorded a message to the actor in which she said she learnt to say the word āconcentrateā after watching him teach viewers how to say it on āSesame Streetā in 2010.
In his sweet birthday message, the movie star told Julia, āYouāre doing so well. Iām going to practice hard today as wellā.
He then quoted P. T. Barnum, who Hugh portrayed in āThe Greatest Showmanā in 2017.
āLike P. T. Barnum said, āno one made a difference by being like anyone elseā. Happy birthday,ā the actor said.
Itās been a busy week for Hugh. On Monday he missed out on an Emmy award, but was still a winner in his fansā eyes thanks to his gracious reaction when Mark Ruffalo defeated him.
He applauded and cheered on Mark when he was announced as the winner in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Category for his performance in āI Know This Much Is Trueā.
Hugh, who had been nominated for his role in āBad Educationā, was seen fist pumping the air with his wife Deborra-Lee Furness by his side in a live stream filmed from their home.
