Hugh Jackman's son hates the paparazzi

Hugh Jackman says his son protects him from the paparazzi.

The actor says he has a relaxed approach to being approached when out and about, unlike his little boy Oscar who single handedly keeps the snappers and over zealous fans at bay.

“My son is the best anti paparazzi,” says Hugh.

“He hates it when people come up to me. He just looks at people and they walked away. He’s ten-years-old and he’s the best security I’ve got. My daughter loves all the attention but my son hates it.”

Jackman recently revealed he’s been busy working on his muscles for the next Wolverine movie.

The 42-year-old actor is reprising his role as the Marvel superhero for a fifth time for new film The Wolverine and he has been busy in the gym sculpting his physique into its best possible shape.

However, Hugh is holding off growing the mutant’s famous facial hair for now.

“Wolverine is coming back, so the claws are out,” Hugh said. “The chops aren’t grown yet but I’m starting to the guns are getting there.”
