Hugh Jackman interviewed a 1999 version of himself to promote ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’

IN A hilarious new interview, Hugh Jackman interviews a younger version of himself and tells young Hugh that he’s “by far and away the biggest star ever”.

Everyone wants to interview Hugh Jackman, including Hugh Jackman.

And so he did, in a new Yahoo! UK video interview.

The X-Men actor puts a spin on the whole Days of Future Past title by interviewing his younger self about the career that lies ahead.

This younger version, supposedly hailing from 1999, a year before the first X-Men flick was released, answers questions while sitting in front of lava lamps and a Furby.

He’s surprised to learn the movie would become a big hit despite naysayers’ insistence that he not take a role in what was Hollywood’s first major superhero blockbuster.

The faux-interview is quite clever, with the 45-year-old Jackman informing his younger self that he’d become “by far and away the biggest star ever, ever to actually be in motion pictures,” otherwise known as Huge Jackman.

Hugh Jackman looks shot as Wolverine in the new X-Men movie.

It’s a convenient way to get Jackman to reflect on his best movies and the regret of having done Movie 43, in which testicles dangled from his neck.
