Hugh Jackman’s image has long been that of a sunny-side up Australian—a singing， dancing， easygoing actor， husband and father who can instantly transform from Academy Awards host （2009） to 1）biceps-2）bulging 3）heartthrob（Wolverine）. Sitting at the Peninsula hotel in Beverly Hills， Jackman reveals himself to be a far more complex and far-ranging figure than many of his peers realize.
Open and immensely likable， he describes being 8 years old when his mother abandoned him and his four elder siblings， leaving them in Sydney with their father. With his mother an ocean away in her native England， Jackman remembers being too frightened to even enter his house alone.“I was terrified because I was the first one home every day，” he says. “I used to walk home from school and wait outside. I just wouldn’t go in.”
休·傑克曼的形象一直是陽光十足的澳大利亞人——能唱能跳、平易隨和的演員、丈夫和父親。他能瞬間進行角色轉換，從奧斯卡頒獎典禮的主持人（2009年）變成肌肉發達的萬人迷（狼人）。坐在比佛利山的半島酒店，傑克曼展現出自己不為人知，更為複雜多變的一麵。
傑克曼大方爽朗，極為和善可親，他說起了自己八歲那年，母親拋棄了家庭，把五個孩子留在悉尼與父親相依為命。母親遠在大洋彼岸的祖國——英國，傑克曼回想起自己當時因為恐懼竟然不敢單獨走進家門。“我很害怕，因為我每天都是第一個回到家的，”他說道，“我那時從學校走回家然後在門口等著。我就是不願意走進家裏。”
休·傑克曼已過不惑之年，但其在《悲慘世界》中的轉型可謂驚豔。其實，總把傑克曼視作“打星”是有點委屈他了。早期他可是接受過舞台劇打磨，練就了一身過硬表演功底的，所以當我看到《悲慘世界》裏激情高昂的冉阿讓時，也不會太過吃驚，畢竟這是傑克曼早年賴以成名的利器。一般而言，對於日漸年長，影響力受到各方衝擊的明星，轉型是維持競爭力的不二策略，但並不是每個人都有“轉身”的機會。傑克曼遇到獨具慧眼的伯樂，然後成功上位——其實這位肌肉型男不僅可以深情款款、悲天憫人，還可以吹彈奏唱，更可以跳舞，魅力十足。憑借著在《悲慘世界》中有張力的表演，傑克曼入圍奧斯卡最佳男主角，最後惜敗於“不瘋魔不成活”的丹尼爾·戴-劉易斯也無可非議，畢竟對手實在過於強大。不過，我想，對於傑克曼這個居家好男人來說，贏得奧斯卡“小金人”固然重要，但這並不會是他人生唯一所求，畢竟，他已懷抱一個“奧斯卡”。

He recalls growing up in a deeply religious family. Today， he is not particularly religious and says he never prays， though he believes in some form of God and afterlife and meditates twice daily for 30 minutes. “It is about quieting that part of the brain and just seeing and being，” he explains.
But meditation and his growing success， which has reached a climax with Les Mis， have only paved the way for a life that is centered just as much on Jackman’s wife， actress Deborra-Lee Furness， 57， and their children， Oscar， 12， and Ava， 7， as on his work—which might create conflicts in the wake of the career-transforming Les Mis.
他回憶起自己成長在宗教氛圍濃厚的家庭。今日，他卻並非有深厚的宗教情結，還說自己從來不祈禱，盡管他相信上帝以某種形態存在，也相信來世之說。他每天冥想兩次，需時30分鍾。“這是讓大腦煩思平靜下來，隻剩存在感知。”他解釋道。
隨著《悲慘世界》的上映，傑克曼的成就到達了一個高峰。然而，冥想與這種與日俱增的成就，卻隻是為他展開了一種生活：工作與家庭成為了生活的重心，兩者同樣重要——傑克曼的妻子黛布拉-李·弗勒斯是演員，57歲，而他們的孩子分別是12歲的奧斯卡和7歲的艾娃，隨著他的轉型之作《悲慘世界》的麵世，他很可能麵臨事業與家庭相衝突的局麵。
“I told my agent， ‘After Days of Future Past， I need to be home，’” Jackman says—particularly to support his son， who has certain learning disabilities like 4）dyslexia.
The actor took his first extended leave from their family （the children were adopted after Furness suffered two 5）miscarriages） for Les Mis， which started shooting in March 2012 in England. Until then， he says they had never spent more than two weeks apart.
Jackman pushed himself to the limits for the role. After weeks on a crash diet， before shooting the movie’s opening sequence—where he is seen waist-deep in frigid water， hauling cables attached to a great ship—he gave up fluids altogether.
“I didn’t have anything to drink until late in the day when we did the opening scene with Russell Crowe，” he says， explaining how the 6）dehydration gave his skin a 7）gaunt， 8）haggard look that makes his initial appearance as Valjean so shocking. “You lose up to 10 pounds of water weight， mainly from the exterior of the body. But it was really brutal. About 20 hours in， a headache came. Then I wanted to drink water out of the ocean！ I see the scene now， and I look really thin， really sunken.”
Admits director Tom Hooper： “I was worried. I thought， ‘This is probably the kind of thing I should discourage.’ I said，‘Have a sip of water.’ But he was very determined. He’d obviously consulted doctors， but I do remember he eventually got very cold， really cold.”
“我告訴我的經紀公司，‘完成了《X戰警前傳2：未來昔日》的拍攝後，我需要回家，’”傑克曼說，特別是要去照顧自己的兒子——他患有類似閱讀困難症這樣的學習障礙。
為了拍攝《悲慘世界》（2012年三月份在英國開拍），身為演員的傑克曼第一次與家人長時間分離（在妻子弗勒斯經曆了兩次流產後，他們領養了兩個孩子）。在此之前，他說他們從未分開超過兩周。
為了角色，傑克曼挑戰極限。在他開拍電影的首幕之前，他就進行了長達數周的速成節食減肥——電影開場，他要在齊腰的冷水中拉著連在大船上的錨索——為此他連水的攝取都減少了。
