00:00Taking your breath, stealing your mind, and all the wisdom is left behind.
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for Hugh Jackman's most clawsome
00:11and toe-tappingly memorable moments.
00:14And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on.
00:19Number 10.
00:20Trying to set a new world record with Jimmy Fallon.
00:23The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon According to Jackman, he dreamed of being
00:28listed in the Guinness World Records while growing up.
00:31Yeah, maybe winning a gold medal at the Olympics, maybe.
00:33But being in the Guinness Book of Records, that was the ultimate goal in life.
00:37Well, in 2019, his dream came true when he was awarded the Guinness World Record for
00:42the longest career as a live-action Marvel superhero.
00:46Seemingly unsatisfied with just one record, Jackman tried to break another while stopping
00:51by The Tonight Show.
00:52While explaining his and his brother's many failed attempts at breaking records as kids,
00:57he and Jimmy decide to try and break the record for catching coins off their elbows.
01:01How many can you do?
01:02I'm going to confidently say 10.
01:05It goes as well as you might imagine.
01:07Yes.
01:08Watch the desk.
01:09Oh!
01:10Guinness probably won't be calling to congratulate them on their efforts, but Jackman almost
01:18leaves the show one blazer richer.
01:20Do you want to trade blazers?
01:22Maybe yours look nice.
01:23Yeah, no, mine's more valuable.
01:25Number 9.
01:26Lesson in reverse trash-talking with John Cena
01:29The Late Late Show with James Corden
01:31Hugh Jackman is widely known as one of the nicest guys in showbiz, so we can never imagine
01:37him engaging in actual trash-talk, unless maybe it was for a role.
01:42Fortunately, John Cena has another approach to the sport of belittling the competition,
01:47which is right up Jackman's alley.
01:49But you do something which I think is really interesting.
01:51You do like a reverse trash-talk.
01:54Well, it's part of your training and as the greatest showman, I think it's the last stage
01:58of your evolution.
01:59I'm ready.
02:00Apparently, the trick is to sound really angry and intimidating, but not actually insult
02:04the other person.
02:05Wow.
02:06Like you, sitting there in the first row with your legs crossed and your vest on.
02:13You look focused.
02:15Jackman takes to it like a fish to water.
02:17Is that it, John Cena?
02:20Is that it?
02:21With your blue eyes and your perfect hair and your beautiful three-piece suit, your
02:26fashionable, expensive three-piece suit, you look amazing, John Cena.
02:29Do you understand me?
02:31You are amazing.
02:33He's so good at it that he should start a reverse smack-talk side hustle.
02:37Just two minutes with him and the world's most unmotivated person would be ready to
02:41hit the ground running.
02:43Number 8.
02:44Wolverine the Musical, BBC Radio 1
02:47Ever wonder when Hugh Jackman would star in Wolverine the Musical?
02:50Well, wonder no longer because BBC Radio 1 made it happen.
02:54Who am I?
02:57Am I a superhero with some claws?
02:59Hot off his stint as Jean Valjean in Tom Hooper's Les Miserables film adaptation, Jackman sang
03:05an updated version of the song, Who Am I?, to promote the latest film in the X-Men franchise,
03:11X-Men Days of Future Past.
03:15We could listen to him sing all day, even if he can't quite hit all the notes.
03:27He's a great sport, has a fantastic sense of humor, and doesn't take himself too seriously,
03:33as if we needed more reasons to love him.
03:35So when are we getting the full musical?
03:39Number 7.
03:41Dancing and Dancing with His X-Men Co-Stars, The Graham Norton Show
03:45From the moment these X-Men co-stars sit down, it's clear we're in for a good time.
03:57In fact, it isn't long before Jackman leads his castmates in a mini dance party, making
04:03it obvious that they're great pals off camera too.
04:14You can only imagine the fun they had on set.
04:16They keep things musical, with Fassbender showing off his synthesizer mimicking skills.
04:21Soon enough, Hugh joins in, singing along, or trying to, while shaking a pineapple like
04:27a maraca.
04:28That's not his only interaction with the fruit either.
04:35Later on, he bares all about stripping down on set.
04:38All we're saying is that his choice of visual aid is very telling.
04:50Number 6.
04:51Crosswalk the Musical on Broadway, The Late Late Show with James Corden
04:55While Jackman arguably made his name in the X-Men movies, he started his career on stage.
05:01So he, along with his The Greatest Showman co-stars Zac Efron and Zendaya, were the perfect
05:06choice to join James Corden and company for this crosswalk musical.
05:11They go through classics like On the Town, Guys and Dolls, and of course The Greatest
05:23Showman.
05:24While the performances are brilliant, the most hilarious part is when Corden gets on
05:28Jackman's last nerve, forcing him to drop the nice guy act.
05:34They wrap up with the Chorus of Fame.
05:36Look, if Hugh Jackman danced on our car, we'd hope that light would never turn green.
05:44Number 5.
05:45No One Does a Sing-Off Like Gaston, The Jonathan Ross Show
05:49You'll remember that Luke Evans played Gaston in the 2017 live-action remake of Beauty and
05:55the Beast.
05:56But did you know Jackman also played the dashing villain in the 1995 Australian production?
06:03Host Jonathan Ross invites all his guests to join in a sing-along of Gaston.
06:08And well, it's even better than we could have imagined.
06:18While Taron Egerton makes a great LeFou, Jackman and Evans undoubtedly steal the show.
06:24Seriously, why haven't these two starred in a musical together yet?
06:33Their vocals blend seamlessly, and they're both pretty easy on the eyes.
06:37What's more Gaston-like than two charming guys singing their own praises?
06:49Number 4.
06:50Duetting with Aretha Franklin, 59th Tony Awards
06:54Jackman's natural showmanship makes him a perfect choice for hosting the Tonys, a role
06:59he's nailed multiple times.
07:01During his third stint, he wowed the audience with a dreamy rendition of Somewhere from
07:06West Side Story.
07:13As he introduces the legendary Aretha Franklin, you can see a smirk on his face, like he can't
07:19believe this is actually happening.
07:28There are many beautiful takes on Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's soulful
07:32ballad, and this one ranks high.
07:34Jackman's powerful, soaring vocals complement Jackman's expressive delivery perfectly.
07:47It's the collaboration we didn't know we needed, and it left us with chills.
07:52There will always be a place for it, somewhere in our hearts.
08:02Number 3.
08:03Opening the Brits with The Greatest Showmanship, 39th Brit Awards
08:07When Jackman sang, at the 2019 Brit Awards, he had no idea just how right he was.
08:17Opening the show with the hit number from The Greatest Showman, Jackman delivered one
08:21of the night's most electrifying performances.
08:30It was a full-on spectacle, complete with dazzling choreography, pyrotechnics, and incredible
08:36aerial acrobatics.
08:38Even host Jack Whitehall joined in.
08:40And while he's no Zac Efron, it didn't matter.
08:43All eyes were glued to Jackman.
08:48We could totally see why he was cast as Barnum.
08:51His charisma and command of the stage are unmatched.
08:54Jackman set the bar incredibly high, kicking off the evening with an unforgettable bang.
08:59He truly is The Greatest Showman.
09:07Number 2.
09:08Neil Patrick Harris and Hugh Jackman Duet, 65th Tony Awards
09:12Anytime the boy from Oz hosts the Tonys is memorable.
09:22Even when he's not hosting, Hugh Jackman leaves a lasting impression.
09:26His playful rivalry with that year's host Neil Patrick Harris is comedy gold, especially
09:32when it turns musical.
09:35While NPH is known for sitcoms, Jackman proves he's no slouch in comedy either.
09:52He sings, he dances, he's hilarious, and he exudes boundless charisma.
09:57Is it even fair for one person to have so much talent?
10:00Plus, he and Harris make the perfect comedic duo.
10:03Seriously, how did they not win an Emmy for that performance?
10:06Maybe they were overlooked for the prize, but we thought they were legend, wait for
10:11it, dairy.
10:16Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
10:20Mandarin Duet with Conan, Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
10:24We can't speak for their language skills, but they sure sound great.
10:32Celebrating movie musicals with some friends, 81st Academy Awards.
10:37We're still waiting on that Hugh Jackman and Beyonce-led movie musical.
10:41Running into an old student, it's always weird to see your teachers outside of school, especially
10:46when they're an international film and stage star.
10:55Blackbeard Sails Through Disney World, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
11:00Really, is there a more fitting place for a pirate?
11:10Introducing Americans to Tim Tams, The Oprah Winfrey Show.

11:40Number 1 Wolverine vs Deadpool, Various Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds have been locked
11:47in a faux feud reportedly since Reynolds married Jackman's good friend Scarlett Johansson.
11:52Their antics are filled with witty banter and hilarious pranks that never fail to entertain.
12:02Beyond the teasing, their bond shows genuine friendship and mutual respect as seen in their
12:07collaborations and joint ventures.
12:18Also from now on, we think Reynolds and Jackman should just interview each other all the time.
12:26They've got such a perfect dynamic and they're always such a blast to watch.
12:30It's definitely one of our favorite friendly rivalries and we can't wait for Wolverine
12:35and Deadpool to kick off their own era of epic bromantic adventures.
