Hugh Jackman was on “The Tonight Show” last night and talked about doing the whole cement handprint ceremony at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre earlier in the day. Jay Leno officiated, and noted that thousands of people came out for what’s essentially a five or ten minute affair. It shows that Jackman’s not just a big celebrity, but also an immensely likable guy.

Speaking of which, he told a hysterical story about his 8-year-old son Oscar using him as bait to talk to some girls.

Jackman: “My son is eight, and he’s already scoping the crowd for chicks. It’s unbelievable. The other day he said to me, ‘Dad, two o’clock. Hot chick.’ I’m like, ‘What?’”

Leno: “Two o’clock?”

Jackman: “Yeah, he goes, ‘They’re hot aren’t they?’ I go, ‘They’re about fourteen.’ They’re fourteen by the way. He’s eight. And so part of me is going, ‘Yeah, go on son,’ and part of me is like, ‘Oscar they’re fourteen, I can’t comment on whether they’re hot or not.’ And he walked on over to them – I swear – he walks over – and he doesn’t normally talk to me about Wolverine at all, it’s a funny thing, he’s normally quiet about it – he walked over, and I could hear him, he goes ‘Hi, how are you? I just want you to know my dad is Wolverine.’”

Sounds like Oscar is quite the future ladies’ man. Talk about being quite the smooth talker – and he’s only eight? The world is going to be that kid’s oyster. Well, lady oyster. You get the point.

Oscar sounds adorable – and it’s clear even in Hugh telling this short story how much affection he has for his son. Jackman is such a charismatic guy – though he’s by no means a Hollywood newcomer, you can tell he’s going to have a long career.
