Wolverine in San Sebastián

Hugh Jackman arrived in San Sebastián and wooed all of us. He is much younger than the actors who are usually presented with the Donostia Award – a lifetime-achievement award – but he is talented and charming so who else can outdo him? At the age of forty-four and thanks to a wide variety of  roles throughout his career, he has shown us that he is able to sing, dance, play a superhero, host the Oscars ceremony and perform on stage, in brief, he is a very versatile actor.

He has very good looks but perhaps what is more remarkable is that he usually comes across as a very easy-going person in interviews. Sometimes film stars appear to be arrogant, distant and whimsical but Hugh Jackman is just the opposite. Maybe he´s just pretending to be a nice guy but cinema is about pretences and make-believe so if he is so good at pretending, obviously, he deserves to be presented with the Award, don´t you think?

What do you think about Hugh Jackman? Have you seen any of his films? Do you know any other actors who were presented with the Donostia Award?
