Actor Hugh Jackman is globally known thanks to roles in movies like the "X-Men" franchise, the "Wolverine" and "Les Miserables", but his teenage son Oscar is not impressed.
"My son had a friend over, a new friend. So I was listening to them in the room and the friend was obviously a fan, and was asking lots of questions.
"My son was just quiet and he was just basically, 'Mm. Yeah. No. Maybe' and then finally he said, 'Look, can you just not ask me any more questions? I've just got to let you know my dad is nothing like Wolverine. He's really not cool. He's not tough in any way, okay? So just forget that'," Jackman told Absolute Radio, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The "Someone like You" actor agrees when his son says that he's extremely clumsy.
"It's amazing to me that I can ever look vaguely cool, because I am clumsy. I trip. Most gag-reels... at the end of every film, for people who do not know, every film do a gag-reel and they show it at the wrap party.
"I've seen it in every film I've done. There's me tripping over, falling over, running into doors, knocking people over, punching myself with claws," he added.
