Hugh Jackman is a man who probably doesn't need an introduction.

He’s an Australian actor, singer, multi-instrumentalist, dancer and producer, who you might have seen in films like The Wolverine, Swordfish, The greatest showman, Les Miserable, Australia, and X men.

He’s won a Golden Globe award, an Emmy, a Tony and even a Grammy award; but he’s still somehow maintained the persona of being one of the most humble and loved Australians in the world.

But Hugh’s success didn’t come overnight. 

It's not every day that he is interviewed by his best friend of 48 years.

Hugh (or "Jacko" as Gus says) and Gus met when they were in kindergarten and they have been inseparable (metaphorically) ever since. 

In this interview, they talked about everything from their childhoods, Hugh's mum leaving, his dad’s religious influence and how he got into the acting world, to his life in the limelight and who gets movie roles ahead of him. 

The biggest take away that we got from this chat with Hugh was to trust your instincts; something he has always done despite what the people around him advised.

As for all of these podcasts, Shaw and Partners have generously donated $10k to the charity of choice of each of our guests.
