Hugh Jackman in Mexico

Monday May 25, 2009

Hugh Jackman is in Mexico to attend the Mexican premiere of his latest movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine which will be held tomorrow, May 26, in the Auditorio Nacional (National Auditorium) in Mexico City. The actor met today with Mexican President Felipe Calderon in the presidential residence, Los Pinos. According to a press release from the president's office, Jackman invited people from around the world to visit and learn about Mexico's many attractions. The star of X-Men and Australia was forced to cancel his original plans to visit Mexico at the end of April due to the swine flu outbreak, but rescheduled as soon as the travel advisories were lifted.

Distrito Federal-Very good humor, sharing smiles with the staff of the distributor 20th Century Fox, Australian author Hugh Jackman arrived yesterday to Mexico to parade today on the red carpet for the premiere of the film "X-Men Origins: Wolverine ' to be held at the Auditorio Nacional.

Jackman arrived at the Toluca airport at 4:00 pm, from New York, and in the company of Jim Gianopulos, CEO of 20th Century Fox, who will oversee all promotional activities on the tape is released on Friday.

He also starred in the film 'Australia' was taken in a van to a hotel in the Polanco area, where he set up at 5:00 in the afternoon.

After a break of a couple of hours, according to sources from 20th Century Fox, the star was planning to eat Mexican food.

Other sources confirmed that for your stay at the hotel, the actor made no special requirements.

In fact, they noted that one had been impressed to learn that Jackman called for a regular room in the building, not a suite, like many other Hollywood figures have called on their visits to Mexico City.

As of press time, the histrionics did not specifically request the use of the gym or some type of food because your body tends to exercise daily.

Jackman will offer a morning press conference. Part of the evening will go on interviews, and finally lead to the premier.

Fulfills its promise

Hugh Jackman was scheduled to attend the premiere of the film in Mexico City last April 30 at the National Auditorium, but was one of the shows canceled after the health emergency due to the outbreak of the H1N1 virus.

"I felt sorry when we had to cancel a decision that was made in conjunction with the office of 20th Century Fox in Mexico.

First, by isolation, and because the theaters were closed, and second, because if I travel all over the world to promote the films is because I am interested in contact with supporters, and that would not be possible this time in Mexico " emphasized the actor in the May 8 interview.

What surprises me is that he met the President, the premiere will take place in a few hours. One of the mexican magazines said that Hugh himself will be giving premiere tickets.

Good for Hugh, he really kept his promise.

Wow, cool to new he actually me the president of Mexico. Hugh rocks, 'nuff said.

 

[BestGirl]

Is Jackman the only cast member who showed? That would kind of suck for the fans who came to the premiere, except for the ones who really love Hugh.

 

[Red Mask]

The Mexico premiere was delayed because of the swing flu outbreak. It would be difficult for the other actors to change their schedules to attend.

 

[블라스]

Hugh is a really cool guy, which makes me sadder considering the POS that this movie was

 

[danoyse]

I liked the movie.

 

[Celestial]

It looks like the premiere went realy well. It was as much a "Mexico is open and ready for business" as a movie promotion so it got extra coverage. Even the meeting with the president was about showing the world that there's nothing to be afraid of.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

I liked the movie.
