Hugh Gossips With Glamour, Premieres Australia in the UK

PopSugarUK — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 03:00:00 -0800

Following the world premiere of their new film in Australia last month, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman have taken Australia around the world, from New York City to Madrid, and last night they brought Baz Luhrmann's movie to London. The director himself also walked the red carpet in Leicester Square alongside Catherine Martin, and was joined by British celebs like Elton John, David Furnish, Twiggy and Konnie Huq. Do you plan to see it? You can check out video footage of the premiere and film after the jump. Hugh was accompanied by his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, who he's been telling British Glamour all about. He also discussed Australia during his interview, and opened up about his romantic side. Here are the highlights:

On falling for Deborra during his first starring role: "When I realised I had a crush on her I was mortified. Debs was a big star here, and it was my first gig. I thought, 'I've fallen in love with the leading lady and I'm sure everybody's laughing at me.' But we started off as great mates, and it's been a great foundation. I believe it's rare in life to have absolute certainty, but with Debs I knew straight away. It was a gift."
On whether Nicole has changed over the years: "We all change, but what Nicole always had was great poise. Working with her was a treat; she's courageous, bold, determined, one of the hardest-working actors out there, incredibly intelligent and very funny. And tall, which for a tall guy like me is refreshing! And I'm so happy for her now with her family life, it's fantastic, y'know? But really, in her centre, I don't think she's changed at all."

To check out video footage of the premiere and film, to find out what Hugh had to say about kissing Nicole, and to see more pictures of all the stars at the premiere, just read more.

On whether kissing Nicole was bizarre because she's a good friend of his and Deborra's: "Let's face it, any kind of making out in front of 70 people is bizarre, so it's just another twist! But Nicole is such an upfront person, she'd come to me and say, 'Let's talk about this, how are we gonna approach it?' So it was as easy as it could've gone."
On what effect he hopes "Australia" will have: "There's a great line my character says. He says: 'In the end the only thing you really have is your story. And I'm just trying to make mine a good one.' That's something I've lived by for a long time. When things go to sh*t, the only thing that matters is that you're with the people you love. Forget society's rules, forget 'I should've done this, that...' - if you're with the people you love, you'll make it though everything".
On whether he's a true romantic: "Yeah, I am, no doubt about it. In fact, Debs says I'm the most romantic man in the world. Feel free to quote her on that!"

Pre-Pregnancy Nicole And Hunk Hugh Hug In Homeland

PopSugarUK — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Baz Luhrmann is one of my favourite directors, so I'm very excited about Australia (out in the UK on Boxing Day) starring his fellow countrymen Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. My girl Pop US brought you pictures of the pair filming on horseback Down Under last year, and I couldn't resist showing you these gorgeous new pictures of a pre-pregnancy Nicole and Hugh hugging on location in Darwin. The actors are back in their native country (with a new addition) filming extra scenes for the movie, with Nicole back to work just weeks after giving birth. How does she do it?

Set in northern Australia during World War II, the film focuses on an English aristocrat (Nicole), who joins forces with a stock-man (Hugh) to protect her inherited cattle. With the stars back in their homeland and Baz creating a tourism ad campaign for the country, as Paris would say, Oz is so hot right now.

Nicole Natters About Her Future Next to Hugh in Australia

PopSugarUK — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 03:00:00 -0800

Nicole Kidman doubled up her chic style in Sydney, going for a sleek chignon at the photo call for Australia and then literally letting her hair down for the world premiere. As we've seen from the rain-deluged jungle in I'm a Celebrity, the sun doesn't always shine in Australia, so Nicole and costar Hugh Jackman had to engage the services of umbrella holders as they walked the red carpet, but the rain didn't dull their smiles. It sounds like we'll need to make the most of Nicole's new releases while we still can since, like Angelina Jolie, Nicole has said she's unsure of her future as an actor:

"I am in a place in my life where ... I've had some great opportunities and I may just choose to have some more children. I've no idea what is in my future but I am very at peace with where I want to be. There are many things I want to do besides act."

After seeing photos of the shooting I can't wait to see this film, which opens in the UK on Boxing Day. Do you plan to see the Baz Luhrmann movie too?

Hugh and Nicole Are Australian Actors, in Australia, in Japan

PopSugar — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 10:30:10 -0800

Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman walked the red carpet together in Tokyo earlier today for another Australia premiere. Both actors took the stage at Sunday's Oscars, but it's Hugh's hosting job that is getting much of the credit for a boost in ratings. During the broadcast, Hugh poked a little fun at Australia and gave a shoutout to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, showing that this is one actor who takes his promotional work seriously enough to sing about it.

Nicole and Hugh Head Home to Premiere Australia

PopSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 10:30:07 -0800

Nicole Kidman had two handsome Aussies by her side at the premiere of Australia in Sydney today. Costar Hugh Jackman posed with the actress for a photo call before they hit the red carpet at the Musem of Contemporary Art. While Keith was there for moral support, Nicole talked about how hard it was to leave baby Sunday back in Nashville. It sounds like being a mom again is having a pretty big effect on Nicole, who also mentioned that she'd consider giving up acting to continue expanding her family. She said, "In terms of my future as an actor and stuff, I don't know. I mean, I'm in a place in my life where I've had some great opportunities – but I may just choose to have some more children." It's hard to imagine Nicole just stepping out of the spotlight, and with a handful of new projects already in the works, we don't imagine it will happen anytime soon.

Kidman Shows Baby Sunday The Paris Sites

Molly — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 09:00:27 -0800

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban showed us Sunday's precious face visiting Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais in Paris today after last night's Australia premiere. On the red carpet, Nicole was joined by Hugh Jackman and while the movie may not have opened big in America, the reviews aren't terrible and of course the wardrobe is romantic and beautiful. At a press conference Nicole clarified recent statements she made about leaving acting. She said, "The rhythm of my life has certainly changed. In my teens and my 20s I wanted to change the world. Now I want to keep telling some beautiful stories ... but a lot of me is about just getting to my family." That's just what she did this morning showing the beautiful world to her baby girl.

Madrid Gets a Bit More Australian With Nicole Kidman

PopSugar — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 15:00:28 -0800

Nicole Kidman continues to travel the world with her on and off-screen loves by her side as she promoted Australia in Madrid yesterday and today. The actress glowed in gold and then offset her black dress with white heels as she continues to live up to her character's stylish wardrobe. Both of Nicole's hairdos looked loft and luscious - which of her premiere hairstyles you like best. Yesterday we got to see Sunday and while she may not be your absolute favorite new celebaby, we're excited to see if she grows up to be a spitting image of mama.

Hugh and Nicole Bring Their Australia to London

PopSugar — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 05:02:22 -0800

Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman kept the worldwide promotional tour for Australia going with a stop off in Leicester Square last night. The film has had a lukewarm response at the box office but perhaps it can score overseas. As the twosome continue to travel the globe, Nicole talked about her baby Sunday and this time she shared some upcoming holiday plans, which include puppet gifts and "a lot of hugs and kisses and Christmas carols." Sounds like the perfect low-key family time after weeks of red carpet appearances.

Nicole and Hugh Bring Their Australia Peddling to NYC

Molly — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 07:05:00 -0800

Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman brought Australia to NYC last night. Nicole smiled with her costar but reserved the intimate moments for her husband Keith Urban who was on his lady's arm the whole time - wearing similar height heels, too. Hugh Jackman happily signed copies of his Sexiest Man Alive cover and recently talked about the changes it's made to his personal life. He said, "Previously, my wife had said the sexiest thing about me was that I took the garbage out . . .Since [being named Sexiest Man], it's like, 'All right, baby. Show it to me. Let's go.' I seem to be asked to take out the garbage more." The family man seems willing to do what it takes to keep his wife happy. The epic movie comes out tomorrow, so we'll see how it fares at the box office over the long holiday weekend.
