Hugh Jackman helped pay for heating at a church. The charitable 44-year-old actor was struck by the plight of St Mary the Virgin church in Ewelme, Oxon, where he filmed scenes for Les Misérables, and organized for producers to pay $16,000 to fund the building's new heating system. The Rev Jonathan Meyer told The Daily Star: "The spiritual message of the film brought everyone together." Hugh - who had to shed a massive 30 pounds to play emaciated ex-convict Jean Valjean - revealed he almost quit the blockbuster production due to stress and a catastrophic rehearsal. He admitted on stage at the Golden Globes while accepting his best Actor prize: "I really thought I'd bitten off more than I could chew. My wife talked me off that cliff, like she talks me most days."

Oh no plz don't tell me 30lbs of muscle!! He needs that for Wolverine!!
Really don't know if I'd much rather see him as a man singing songs about anything and everything or as Wolverine tearing everything up and being totally badass. Hmm.
He is a truly versitile actor. Good for him. Wolverine rocks!
