Robbie Williams wanted Hugh Jackman to sing on 'Swing' album

Robbie Williams has revealed that he was desperate to enlist actor Hugh Jackman for an album of swing tunes.

Former Take That star Williams experienced a resurgence in the pop charts in 2001 when he released 'Swing When You're Winning', featuring actress Nicole Kidman on a cover of Frank and Nancy Sinatra's classic 'Somethin' Stupid'.

He released follow-up 'Swing Both Ways' in 2013, featuring star turns from Lily Allen and Michael Buble, and the 'Angels' hitmaker has now told the Daily Telegraph that he was eager to land a guest appearance from the 'Wolverine' actor as well, but Jackman was unable to find time in his filming schedule.
