Hugh Jackman has said that film offers in his home country, Australia, are thin on the ground.

He added that he does get a few, but not as many as he'd like, News.com.au reported.

The 45-year-old actor said that he didn't know if people think that he was not approachable or it's not possible, adding that there's just not that many roles around for him.

He also said that he would like to do more, asserting that he loves working in Australia here, and loves being home.

The 'Wolverine' shot his last Wolverine film in Sydney, but has not been able to play an Australian in an Australian production since Baz Luhrmann's 'Australia,' which was released back in 2008.
