Hugh Jackman in Disney's Beauty and the Beast as Gaston

[rayblack2004]

gay?

[PTJJ17]

i want him too!

[CrimsonBaby2007]

Holy Snap!! Who would have known that an Aussie unknown from 'Sunset Blvd' and 'Beauty and the Beast' would have come 'up' so-o much since 2007?!?! He's now one of Hollywood's most top men! A major fan of Hugh's and such he's such a sweet man to boot! I've met him and was floored by his kindness! And he's still so 'grounded'! Couldn't happen to a greater guy! God bless him and his family!

[MrBooshibonton]

wait, is hugh jackman meanwhile?

[MrBooshibonton]

@MrBooshibonton "meanwhile" is code, for those of you who aren't in the know.

[PaperRayman]

It takes true talent for someone to pee themselves in front of a huge audience, and then still have such a positive reputation.

[hanakimi09]

god he was such a baby back then... but still as hot as ever!!!!!! my second fave actor - theatre and movie and whatever other form of entertainment he's done! love him

[midnightblackfire]

they realize he doesn't need that suit to be ripped, right?

[ztslovebird]

@midnightblackfire I think all the Gaston costumes came pre-ripped. To make sure the little kids understood that Gaston has huge muscles.

[SebaVeliz1]

he reminds me of joey tribbiani... i don't know why :O

[finnfiah42]

when I saw him singing Sunset Boulevard I FREAKED OUT Because I didn't really know him except wolverine and know i like the fact Broadway is turning a good corner again

[JediXManSerenaKenobi]

I love how no one recognizes that he's going to be a huge movie star... I love success stories like his!

[FMAguru2007]

Okay...I am being naughty...like...really naughty. He is such a turn on and finding out he did Beauty and the Beast is SUCH a bonus.

[JuanAchach]

He's so handsome and talented!!

[roytrobe]

He's like a singing Mc Dreamy <3

[ztslovebird]

@roytrobe Not really; he's much more attractive.

[ztslovebird]

@roytrobe I mean that Hugh Jackman is much more attractive than Mc Dreamy.

[wolfywox]

When was this? o_O

[njriley55]

@wolfywox Around 1996. he was in Sunset Blvd. from Oct. 1996 to June 1997. He was 28 years old then (he's 42 now)

[ashturil]

*jawdrop* Omg he actually played Gaston. When I read it up in Wiki I just knew I had to run to youtube. And here it is. And I'm still in awe. D:

[ztslovebird]

lolololololololololololol!!!!! To think, the most badass of the X-Men is, deep down, also an incredible song-and-dance man! AND he played the violin? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the model for the Perfect Man!

[kamanarifox]

@ztslovebird that's what kind of man it takes to play Wolverine!!

[DarthxErik]

mannnn he's the coolest man alive....

[LiverandOnions55]

... that guy would go on to play wolverine ...

[JessieAckles]

He sounds alot like the actual Gaston from the movie.

[Pattifish]

Very cool guy. Loved him in Australia with Nicol Kidman. Fabulous.

[WennLiebeinDirIst]

Hugh is such an amazing actor, I wish there were some professional recordings of his performances!

[TruHon29]

@WennLiebeinDirIst there is, his oklahoma in London was filmed and he's on the soundtrack!

[SlowlyDumb]

:( i want him

[flyawaytoahappyplace]

gosh. hot is an major understatment for him :)

[NKHades007]

I'd love to see Hugh is Les Miserables one day; maybe as Javert or perhaps Enjolras!

[drwho10companion]

If he went to New York now and shouted "I'm Hugh Jackman!" He would get jumped by screaming fangirls!

[MonkiiGirl]

my, what a guy, that Gaston!

[scgtlp]

i still get shivers whenever i listen to my copy of his version of Oklahoma! and i agree: it's not fair at how perfect he is! why can't other guys at least be as sweet and modest as him?!

[strawberrylumps159]

he's so damn cute and hot at the same time!!!

[HiDuczek]

@strawberrylumps159 So agree :)

[nedmonika]

I love his laugh :D

[hypnotisedbabe]

Haha. My parents saw him in Beauty In The Beast back when I was a baby.

He's pretty aewsome :)

[LyleBennet]

Hugh Jackman? In a Musical? Wow, that's cool

[jongzo]

anyone's else's mind blown that, when this originally aired, everyone took his words and naivete, but then all of his dreams of conquering Broadway came true? Makes ya think what you could do with a dream.... and an amazing voice... and having dashingly handsome looks.... screw it, nevermind...

[ManBig4]

I Love how he is just soooooo big now. Worldly FAMOUS!

[TeamRenesmee117]

i love Hugh Jackman! he ROCKS as Wolverine and his HOT! but i had no idea he played Gaston! that's AWESOME!

[vivaelphaba]

gah! he's so handsome and charming!!

[musicaldude92]

I want him to be in Glee

[Mewiossan]

aaawww he's great !

n______n

[Aryana70]

God he so young here.....

[dinoodlez3]

Holy Shit, I saw that production of Beauty and the Beast when I was a kid! I had no idea that Hugh Jackman was in that show! He is so nice, how can anyone not like him

[DrPepperBlackCherry]

He's so cute! So young in this!

[cootercat486]

He looks great in those glasses!

[Tabbykitten7]

Oh my gosh, he's so cute!!!! I love him so much. He's so talented and has a great personality. :D

[Muirin007]

I love this man. Granted, I'm sure I'm not the only woman who thinks so. He has countries full of ardent admirers, but with good reason. He's genuinely talented and judging by all the interviews and press I've seen about him, he's a good man.

[ARLOPA]

@Muirin007 that´s why women love him.... He is a wonderful man in every sense of the word...!!! He´s a great artist, husband, father and human being... and he´s also gorgeous...!!! what more could a woman ask???

[Eomira]

Baby Hugh!

[L80Kyra]

And I keep saying to myself - Hugh Jackman? Does anyone know when this was? I think I saw this show with my daughter. His voice is amazing - I can't get over it

[angel0922201]

I didn't even know Hugh Jackman sang! WOW!

[heartxofxbutter]

OMG! Babyface Hugh!!

[Alchemyfreak990]

o.o WHEN WAS THIS?!

[lumecia]

long ago XD

Thanks for the clip Hugh us really just wow...wonderful Singer and wonderful Actor...and sooooooo handsome^^

[daonhatha]

Damn, the only thing I could say was "wow"!

[FantasmaLuna]

I love his laugh at 0:42!

[VideoSam16]

Is he wearing glasses? . . . . He IS!

[sarah07091978]

This is great footage! If that guy only knew that in a few years he'd win a Tony and become a blockbuster movie actor. Wow!

[Kewlausgirl]

@sarah07091978

And the best thing is, he is still the same down to earth friendly guy! XD May he never change!

[IndianaJane]

The one with the horses is most likely from the tv series "Snowy River: The McGregor Saga"

[Kewlausgirl]

@IndianaJane

He was in that?? O_o I don't remember that.

[spelcika1990]

i think you think Australia....

[Kewlausgirl]

@spelcika1990

Rofl kinda hard to forget the title as it is about the country

[Kewlausgirl]

@spelcika1990

Actually no it is Snow River tv series!! lol I answered without even watching it all yet XD

[IndianaJane]

Kewlausgirl - I'm jealous! I have only ever been able to get a hold of a couple Snowy River episodes so I have never seen the whole series. That and the Correlli series always seem to elude me.

[sparrowcrazy]

What's that movie with the horses in the beginning?!!

[oewnaynailf]

I love him!

[carolitakohen]

I LOVE HIM!!

[vapphazardouss]

Hugh Jackman is my Hero... i want to model my career just like his.

[Kewlausgirl]

@vapphazardouss

Are you a guy? We need more guys getting into musicals damn it! lol XD

[JRyanReichel]

Fantastic to see him before he was famous.

[Qawraqueen]

Wonderful man!

[gerryfan101]

OMG!! I had no idea that he had been gaston in this musical thats so cool

[pussytoes7]

everybody starts somewhere. lovely to see hugh at the beginning. xxxooo

[26thxshot]

i saw him in Beauty and the Beast when i was really young, like 5 or so, can't remember any of it but i'm still pretty proud to say i was once in the same general area as Hugh Jackman haha

[qm4life56]

hes so cool!

[hughjackmannut]

he is so cute

[kyokokusanagi]

i don't know why but i just love 3:41

[practicaldreamyr]

That's a good dad.

[cvetuek]

he's the best!

Thank you

[chrishot10]

THAAAAANKS!!! I've never seen him in Beauty & the Beast, I just have the songs on mp3. Really rare stuff, thanks for sharing! His dad, his early career steps, as a student... Amazing stuff!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XxxHoRiZoNxxX]

he's just brilliant !!! love him :)

[marniejevans1969]

OMG! Thankyou so much for sharing this. I'd not seen it before - brilliant stuff!

[pineapplewhipaddict]

What a talent.

[meredith33333]

This is wonderful, I had never seen it! Thanks so much for posting this :) Glimpses of him in Beauty & the Beast, Romeo and Juliet *sigh*, and Sunset Boulevard! xoxoxoxoxoxox

[AngelQ8iya]

I wish I can see the whole theare musical with him as Gaston...I really love him

[petitanyell1]

I used to love Gene Kelly's charm, singing and dancing skills since I was a child, now's turn for Mr. Jackman!! :-D

[tsukushi87]

he's so sexy!!!

[lesslikeme]

He really should wear his glasses more often! I knew he was shortsighted, but I never saw him with glasses before. Stunning.

[DawnsEarlyLight1814]

I never knew that!

[DevlynLerra]

And he did conquer broadway! The Boy From Oz was a smash hit!

[pin55head]

This is before the government took him to a secret bunker and inserted adamantium on his system. His behavior is no longer that laid back anymore, thats a fact

[ImAManOfMyWord]

Prior to X-Men hahaha.

[KezWasHere]

Gaawd, it´s not fair that one person has all that talent, good looks and a great personality! His family must be so proud. And his wife is the luckiest women on Earth!

[MermaidBlueFins]

@KezWasHere His wife is an old woman, she is like 16 years older then Hugh.

[WolverineIsAHotty]

omg im going to steal that family album!!

[xixietru]

he's cute like a schoolboy when he smiles! and not only the looks, he's so modest about his works. why must he be so perfect?!

[JessieAckles]

@xixietru and married!

[MissDepp63]

bout in the middle, wen the directors talkin bout hugh it's like he's in his own lil dream world thinkin of him :-D

[jazsan222]

sexy

[julesreverie]

If they ever make a movie out of the Beauty and The Beast musical he HAS to play Gaston!

[doolstube]

I'm am glad you are enjoying these posts, more than happy to share new clips of Hugh, he was and is a huge star in Australia. I think what makes Australians such good actors, is the no BS attitude, which I am sure you will have seen if you have ever met an Aussie! Will put more up in the future for you all. Meanwhile, enjoy.

[sopranokate]

great comment. couldnt agree more! love hugh. SUCH a talented individual. and hes actually got talent unlike many other so called "stars" out there, most of whom are famous for nothing creditable!

[foreveronstage]

@doolstube that's great to know since I'm studying abroad in Sydney next year!

[tayhughfan]

was this before or after he met his wife?

[jackman4ever]

after

[AngharadHudson]

As another Hugh fan, I love seeing pre-"Oklahoma" items, especially items not available in the US. Thanks so much! I hope "Paperback Hero" and other episodes of "Corelli" will be released in the US. If you haven't seen Hugh in "Oklahoma" (1999 London stage production), get it! He is amazing.

[BlackPookie]

ive seen paperback hero...

its great!!!!!!

[cathcolls83]

Hugh is lush

[Buddymom]

Marvelous! I just love seeing anything new (to me) about Hugh Jackman. Thank you so much.

[RMTNDEW]

I really enjoyed watching this, thank you. I've been looking for clips of him as Gaston from 'Beauty and The Beast' and was never able to find any. I would have given anything to have seen him in that role! Thanks for sharing the video with us.

[Capelaio]

i no what u mean!! ;)) i crack up so bad every time i hear him sing' Me' lol i would love to see that! haha

[Lotjeknorrepotje]

Great!!

[DebbieWebbiekins]

Something else I've noticed, his laugh has changed. I kind of adore his new "horse neighing" laugh.

[Plainlayz]

"Hi, I'm Hugh Jackman... Mayor of New York." Dude! I'm from NY and I wish... wait I think I was like 7 when this interview came out.

[DebbieWebbiekins]

HA same here girly. Imagine...Hugh...as our mayor ::day dreams::

[Cathye]

As a child, he was "quite simply good at everything...." And what about now ???? OMG! He is improving with time, if that's still possible.... Best actor, best singer, best performer, best husband and father too... Such a perfection in one man looks rather sad for any other man.... and for any woman except for his lucky wife ! ;-)

[6arPad]

upps! It was "I'm going to see...not What!" see? hugh make me nervous! lol!

[6arPad]

MMM...what I can say?: THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

OMG! I'm going to what this all the night, I think is the 1st time we saw Mr. Jackman talk about his talented son: I really enjoy! Thank U again!

[doolstube]

This was in 1996. He went to New York to rehearse for Sunset, before starting in Melbourne.

[MyOzalots]

Thank you so much! this is a joy!!

And I loved to hear his proud father!!!

Thank you!!!!

Thousands of times thank you!!! :D

[DebbieWebbiekins]

Aww he's so damn cute! I love it :D Thanks so much for uploading.

[ravenfrost2]

"You can be crazy in NY and nobody gives a damn!" LOL! Yeah, that's what makes it great. Good lord, he was so young in this video! He just gets better and better.

[Melodia222]

This is like the best thing I've ever seen on You Tube!!!!!!! OMG!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!! GOD... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!! Hugh is just extraordinary... WHAT YEAR IS THIS FROM?? :) Lots of kisses :** Zosia
