Babe of the Week

Jesus H. Christ!

T'was but a matter of time that the glorious Hugh Jackman joined the ever-so exclusive club of BOTW. Please, if you will, sit back, relax and bask in the abyss of sublimity that Hugh Jackman, a king among actors and a god among men, has to offer.
This gifted hunk of man has been mostly accredited for his role as Wolverine in the X-Men movies and his most recently dazzled us in the big screen adaptation of a Broadway play based on the famous french novel by Victor Hugo, Les Miserables, where he played a solemn Jean Valjean, fugitive father, a role which earned him a solid nomination by the more-than-so biased Academy Awards for Best Actor [do not be thrown off by this statement, I have some personal beef with the Academy but that does not change the fact that Hugh Jackman is an Australian god]. You may also remember him from such films as Australia, a movie directed by the great Baz Luhrman, director of Romeo+Juliet and Moulin Rouge,alongside Nicole Kidman. He had played the role of a loose cannon cattle drover, going by the name of -of course- Drover and his controversial relationship with an upper class English widow, played by Kidman, in late 1930's Australia. You may also remember him The Prestige, a film directed by Christoher Nolan, amazing director of the Batman Trilogy and Inception. Jackman was utterly captivating alongside Christian Bale [veteran BOTW] as you watched their playful friendship evolve into a scorching and vengeful rivalry; a race between mesmerizing geniuses, masters of illusions and trickery. David Bowie is also in this movie, just thought that was worth mentioning.  
Other than being an amazing actor, we must agree that the man is nothing short of gorgeous. His rugged lumberjack manly-man Tom Selleck looks are hard to come by nowadays. His rugged features reminds us of a simpler time, where girls were girls and men were men, where John Wayne and Tom Selleck dominated the hearts of women every which-way! Guys like that, they had it made. Kudos, Hugh.
                                          If you've got no love in your heart, you've got nothing.
