Hollywood star Hugh Jackman has landed a new role as a global ambassador for his native Australia's national airline Qantas.

The "X-Men" star, who is based in New York, will help to boost the brand's name recognition across the world and encourage tourists to go Down Under.

"I travel a lot and like all Aussies, I get a buzz whenever I see the familiar red tail and the kangaroo logo (of Qantas), no matter where I am in the world. Qantas is a great airline with great people and represents the very best of our wonderful country.

Jackman, 46, will also work with Qantas bosses on a variety of community projects, which will be announced in the near future.
