Hugh Jackman wishes Pinoys ‘Maligayang pasko’

Hugh Jackman, perhaps best known for his role as the regenerating, claw-bearing mutant Wolverine, indulged his Filipino fans in a short message for the holidays.

The Australian actor was asked by "Unang Hirit" host Lyn Ching as part of an interview to greet his Pinoy fans in Tagalog, and he graciously obliged.
