X-Men star Hugh Jackman surprises his young The Music Man costar with an autographed Tom Brady jersey in a video shared on Instagram. Cementing his role as one of the pioneering Marvel cinematic superheroes, Jackman made his debut as Logan/Wolverine in 2000’s X-Men. He currently holds the Guinness World Record for the longest career as a live-action superhero, having last appeared as his clawed mutant in 2017’s Logan. Last year, Jackman starred in Reminiscence alongside Greatest Showman co-star Rebecca Ferguson and had a brief vocal cameo in Shawn Levy’s Free Guy, starring Ryan Reynolds. Now, continuing his stage work that stretches back to his Tony-winning performance in The Boy From Oz (2004), Jackman has returned to Broadway in a revival of The Music Man.
While Jackman is one of the most recognizable movie stars in the world, Tom Brady is one of the most recognizable athletes. Last month, the seven-time Superbowl champion announced he was retiring from football to spend time with his family and focus on the next chapter of his life. It was then reported that Brady would produce and star in director Kyle Marvin’s 80 for Brady, a movie under the banner of his production company 199 Productions with Paramount Pictures. Earlier this month, Brady had a change of heart and decided to return for another season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Jackman recently took to Twitter to thank Brady for helping him surprise his 11-year-old The Music Man co-star, Winthrop Paroo. The video shows Jackman giving Paroo an autographed Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 minutes before their Thursday night show. Paroo was clearly moved by the gesture. Check out the video below:

On social media, Jackman has kept fans updated on The Music Man and given behind-the-scenes looks at the production since the show’s opening night last month. The actor also continues to make headlines for his tenure as Wolverine. Ever since Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019, which brought the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Deadpool under the umbrella of Marvel Studios, audiences have wanted Jackman to make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut—which is also something he expressed interest in before effectively retiring his character in 2017.
Earlier this month it was announced that Free Guy and The Adam Project’s Levy would direct Deadpool 3 for Marvel Studios. Having worked with both Jackman (Real Steel) and Reynolds, the director has said he intends on someday making a movie with the pair. The upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is poised to crack open the MCU’s multiverse and seemingly introduce some X-Men. The film's trailers have already teased Patrick Stewart’s Professor X—who has appeared in nearly every film with Jackman’s Wolverine. While it’s a stretch, Jackman could very well pull a Brady, change his mind, and return following his work on The Music Man.
