Hugh Jackman Surprises Young Costar With Brady Jersey in Sweet Video

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.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
