Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman reached the epitome of worldwide fame with the X-Men franchise as Wolverine. According to Jackman, he was fortunate enough to land the role, but credits his award-laden career to his passion for sports. Hugh is an avid rugby and soccer fan and even played both sports in his youth. In X-Men, Wolverine is a character prone to anger, a habit he developed playing rugby. Rugby is a contact sport associated with too much violence, and Jackman would channel his rugby rage when playing Wolverine.
