Hugh Jackman hilariously recalls the moment his former fame as the actor for X-Men’s Wolverine managed to save him from being deported.
The actor weighed in on everything during his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Kimmel.
The incident occurred on the border between Los Angeles and Toronto where the 2000 X-Men movie was being shot.
Before walking through the customs agent without a visa Jackman recalled a set worker telling him to lie about doing auditions.
“I’m like, sweat just pouring down, and I literally then said, ‘No, no, it’s not audition. I’ve got the part.’ I just broke. It was pathetic,” he recalled in that instance.
It was only after the actor told the agent that he is auditioning for the live-action remake that the agent got a police escort for him, but that was not before having him sign some autographs.
“He was a mad ‘X-Men’ fan, and that’s the only reason I ended up getting the part,” Jackman admitted.
