damn!! I should have known!! if only Famke was in there somewhere too... heh..

She had left because she had to catch a plane. Therefore, there was an empty spot on the couch. (Why do I know this stuff?)

Here's some quotes on X-Men from Hugh:

http://www.allabouthugh.com/quotes.htm

On having claws for playing Wolverine: "I miss having the claws. But, I have a little scar on my hand and there is a bigger one on my knee. With those nine inch claws, I was getting a little dangerous."

"There was a whole display set up of all the X-Men paraphernalia. My wife couldn't resist telling this 5-year-old boy that I was Wolverine. The little kid looked up at me and he was staring at me. His father was kind of batting him away, saying 'You're Wolverine! So tell me about it! When's the movie coming out? This is great. I've been waiting ~ I mean, my son has been waiting for so long!' So I was kind of focusing on the kid and I said, 'So you watch X-Men?' He goes, 'Yeah.' I said, 'Who's your favourite character?' The child's response? Cyclops."

"I'm committed to the X-Men sequel and really look forward to doing it. I really loved making the first film, but to be honest, the first six weeks on it, I was really scared. I probably didn't want to admit it a year ago, but I think the biggest fear I had was that the fans to whom it meant so much would not like it or my character, and would feel let down."

Referring to wearing the claws, Jackman said "Kind of the more I find out about it, the more of a responsibility and the more of an honor it is. Because this character in people's imagination is literally larger than life."

On the love triangle between Logan, Jean, and Cyclops: "It's explored. Who wouldn't want her?" Jackman laughs. "She's kinda hot. It definitely explores Wolverine's flirtier side. Sometimes it's hard to tell, whether he's genuinely really attracted, or whether he enjoys flirting or whether he just enjoys pissing Cyclops off. It's probably a mixture of all three. The relationship with Jean Grey, it is sexual and he is sexually attracted, but he also really likes her - I mean, in a friendly sort of way. It all hovers in there."

On Wolverine's onscreen relationships with his teammates: "One of the key relationships in this movie that's being explored is the Rogue/Logan relationship. When he meets Rogue, he doesn't want a thing to do with her. She's just a doggerd little individual that sort of tags on. After a while, Logan - without wanting or expecting it - begins to care for this little girl, and this little girl looks up to him for protection in the world. Not only in the real world, but also in the world of mutants - even in Professor Xavier's school - she still looks up to him."

"[Speaking of action figures] I find it kind of scary because I know what I was like when I was a kid, I used to feed my action figures to the squids that were off of the bay I lived near. I tore off their arms and replaced them with other limbs, stuck them with pins, freezed them and did other awful things to them. Nothing struck me as more weird than to walk into my trailer and see a full-blown punching back of myself. That's probably going to be a prize possession for a few people that I know. There's some unnerving moments."

TV reminders this week - where X-3 may be mentioned:

Rebecca Romijn (promoting her new TV show):

Jay Leno - Friday, March 31
Regis & Kelly - Tuesday, April 4

Hugh Jackman:

Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards - Saturday, April 1 (oh please let him be slimed!).

 

[oneteen]

(oh please let him be slimed!).

huh?

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Rebecca reminds me of someone who would laugh when i say something stupid...or if I did something stupid... like look at her face.. Not sure what Famke is doing but Hugh sure looks fasinated by her - just like me.

 

[Specter313]

huh?

Every year at the kids choice awards, a celebrity will get slimed. Usually someone who is rather popular at the time, so Hugh actually has a good chance with all the movies he has coming out this year.

 

[narrows101]

huh?

Oh sorry, should have explained. Because it's the Kid's Choice Awards, naturally they do a lot of stuff that kids like to do. One of the big highlights is one of the celebrities gets "slimed" with green goo and they don't know about it. In 2004 when Hugh won the burping contest, Mary Kate and Ashley Olson were presenting an award and all of a sudden the ceiling opened and all this green slime came down and covered them. No one knows who gets slimed at this award show but it always happens and of course the kids eat it up.

Mary Kate and Ashley:

Believe it or not, this is Jim Carrey.

Thought this 2002 interview with Hugh was interesting with the X-Men questions.

http://www.jackmanslanding.com/news/news-articles/arena0502.html

Does that mean they have to put other actors on boxes when they stand next to you?

Yeah, particularly as Wolverine because if you notice in the film he's never taller then anyone, except for Anna Paquin's character, and I'm taller then all of them. Poor Jimmy Marsden who plays Cyclops, I mean he's not short, he's like 5ft10in, but at one point he had inch lifts on his shoes. It was like something from The Rocky Horror Show. We watched the dailies one night and you could actually see his waist and the belt on his pants. Because we're both standing next to each other he looks kind of deformed.

Didn't your wife actively try to dissuade you from taking the part in X-men because she thought it sounded a bit naff?

She read the script pages and said "You can't do this, you've got claws and you're a mutant." When you get sent just three pages of the script it can seem a bit odd. I was working at the National Theatre at the time and it seemed a little strange, but I went off and auditioned and I didn't get it, Dougray Scott was cast. Then they said "Why don't you audition for Cyclops?" I said I didn't want to wear sunglasses for five months! When it became increasingly likely that Dougray was never going to get out of M:I2 I flew up to Toronto to audition again. I had to go and do a full screen test which is on the X-men DVD. Within six days of arriving in LA, I was in Toronto about to start my first film.

Which turned you from a virtual unknown into a global name overnight. Were you prepared for all that stuff that comes with it, such as paparazzi hanging round your house?

I don't think it had hit me how big it was, because even though it was a big film, I didn't have time to work out what it could do for my career, plus those three months after I came back from filming, people weren't "Oh my God, you're in X-men." Then I was in New York about to start filming Someone Like You and there were about eight paparazzi outside my trailer. So from that point it literally did change my life.

***

What does it take to get Hugh Jackman into Wolverine's physique?

Unfortunately, a lot of training. I've got to have things like this [points to the egg-white omelette he's eating] which don't look that appetizing and I can't have carbohydrates. The beauty of nutrition is that you don't have to train as hard if you eat properly. There's a place here called CNM which is the centre of Nutritional Medicine which took on the English Rugby Team about two years ago and now they're like the fittest and strongest team in the world. I was put onto them and they're amazing. My Goal is to get to 94 kilograms which is about 210 pounds. Now I'm about 91, because I've been building up, but normally I'm about 88. But percentage body fat is the key. I was never in the shape I wanted to be in the first film because I got cast a week into filming. I wanted to be like 8 or 9 percent body fat and I'm now probably 13. It doesn't sound like much, but that little extra is very hard to get rid of. So it's sobriety for me, my friend, and egg-white omelettes.

Rebecca Romijn Talks Weight, Love

What's Rebecca Romijn's secret to keeping a smokin'-hot body? Not owning a scale.

The supermodel-turned-actress shows off her curves and shares beauty tips in the April issue of InStyle magazine.

It's hard to believe, but Romijn said she had to lose weight in order to play Mystique in the "X-Men" movies.

"I never step on the scale. I don't even own one, so it was awful reading in the tabloids about my weight gain: 'She ballooned from 125 pounds to 150 pounds.'

"I needed to lose around 15 pounds, but I was never worried about it, and I'm not trying to lose weight now."

The 33-year-old stunner also opened up about her engagement to actor Jerry O'Connell and life after divorce.

"We have a lot of love for each other," she said, referring to her ex, John Stamos.
