Hugh Jackman raised 1.85 million dollars for Motion Picture and Television Fund in a benefit concert, called 'One Night Only', on his 45th birthday.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 'Wolverine' star, who was backed by a 17-piece orchestra, sang, danced and told stories about his life to an audience of 4,500 people at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
