Hollywood legend Hugh Jackman has officially landed in Dublin, and has already had a pint of the famous black stuff in an unknown pub.

The star is set to perform three incredible concerts this week in the 3Arena on his The Man. The Music. The Show. world tour, which has garnered rave reviews worldwide.

Jackman absolutely delighted his fans and passengers at Dublin Airport when The Greatest Showman made an appearance, cheering him as he entered the country.

Thr 50-year-old dropped by a pub for a pint of Guinness, and we don't blame him for not waiting another minute before necking down a pint of black stuff.

"Waited fifty years for this one," he wrote to his Instagram, captioning a video which has now racked up almost 1.5 million views. 

The Wolverine and Logan actor posted an image earlier to his social media pages showing himself working out in the gym before his flight to Ireland. The man never takes a day off…

Jackman will perform two evening shows this week and a matinee show on Friday, with a very special guest joining him onstage during the sold-out Irish shows.

Her performance of the Oscar-nominated song This Is Me can give anyone goosebumps with it's empowering message.

Hugh Jackman has proven why he's The Greatest Showman by making one little Irish girl's dream come true.

Seven-year-old Emma from Lucan is a superfan of Hollywood star Hugh Jackman after seeing his latest film, and her mother thought of a genius plan to get his attention.

After failing to nab tickets to see the star on his new tour, Jacqueline Cooney recorded her daughter singing A Million Dreams in the hopes of getting him to see it.

Devoted mum Jacqueline appeared on Muireann O'Connell's lunchtime show on Today FM yesterday, and revealed her reasoning.

"My daughter Emma is a huge fan of The Greatest Showman. She spent all Christmas singing the songs and Santa brought her a sing-along CD," she said.

"We missed out on tickets to see the show in the 3Arena so I said I'd record her singing a little song for him from the movie and send it to him and see would he see it."

The mother of three posted the video of Emma singing to Hugh, but it initially failed to get a response from the man himself, until fellow actor Liev Schreiber showed it to him.

The mother of three posted the video of Emma singing to Hugh, but it initially failed to get a response from the man himself.  "I said to myself that this is going to need something big . . . " Jacqueline said.

It turned out that Ray Donovan star Schreiber, and one of Jackman’s childhood friend Gus Worland were the ones to get the Australian actor to watch Emma's tribute.

"At first we were thinking of giving up but then four days later or so he saw it and he sent a special message that I know he wouldn't have just sent to anyone," she said.

"I was pretty freaked out when I saw it yesterday afternoon," Jacqueline added. "I was looking at something else and then it came up, 'Hugh Jackman mentioned you on Twitter'".

The actor sent an adorable message to Emma, addressing her directly;

"I just want to say your little girl, thank you so much for singing that song. Thanks so much for being a fan. And never stop dreaming. Remember, life is what you choose to make it so make it fantastic!"

Emma and her mum were over the moon after seeing it; "I was expecting maybe a text or something but a video and what he said was so lovely and so genuine," she continued.

What a wonderful story, the actor truly is a gentleman.

Congratulations to Emma, she certainly has a bright future of singing ahead of her with connections like these.

The silly season is well underway.

Getting into the festive mood, Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal decided to prank Ryan Reynolds.

The two lads told Ryan that their Christmas party had a dress code – i.e. stick on the Crimbo jumpers.

Of course, the actor turned up to the celebration with a stunning present jumper.

Host Ryan Tubridy said: “Having The Greatest Showman as our theme this year is helping to emphasise the essence of what I believe the Toy Show should be – inclusive. This year we are celebrating the kid who doesn’t get Snapchatted, or who doesn’t always have someone to sit beside on the bus. These kids aren’t lonely or unhappy, they just find joy in their own way. This year’s show will be wrapped up in kindness and warmth and humour, so, as the song goes, see you on The Other Side!”

This year’s Late Late Toy Show boasts a huge cast with more than 200 young performers and over 30 talented toy testers taking part. The children come from all over Ireland with the youngest just three and a half-years-old

As always, Ryan and the Late Late Toy Show elves have a few surprises up their sleeves and all will be revealed as the show goes on.

The circus themed set has been created by RTÉ production designers Marcella Power and Caroline Wade, and the elves in the RTÉ Costume and Make-Up Departments have been busy rewriting the stars over the past weeks as they ready the cast for Friday’s spectacular.

As with every Late Late Toy Show, a number of charities have nominated children to experience the magic of the set for themselves in advance of tonight’s show. This year children from LauraLynn Children's Hospice, The Jack and Jill Children's Foundation, National Children’s Hospital at Tallaght University Hospital, Our Lady's Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, and Barnados will get a sneak preview of the set and get to play with the toys. Their visit will be captured onscreen and will be aired during the show. All toys featured on the show will be donated to charity following the broadcast.

Hugh Jackman has made an impression on audiences of all ages with his multi-hyphenate career persona, as successful on stage in front of live crowds as he is on film. From his award-winning turn on Broadway as the 1970s singer/songwriter Peter Allen to his metal claw-wielding Wolverine in the blockbuster X-Men franchise, Jackman has proven to be one of the most versatile actors of our time.

Jackman garnered his first Academy Award nomination, for Best Actor, for his performance in Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables, based on the popular stage show created from Victor Hugo’s famous novel of the same name.

Jackman’s standout performance as protagonist Jean Valjean also earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical, as well as Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award nominations, for both Best Ensemble and Best Male Actor in a Leading Role, and a BAFTA Award nomination. Most recently, he was nominated for his role as P.T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman.

Would changing your cup of coffee make a difference to the world? That's what actor Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee Furness wanted to find out.

The pair travelled to Ethiopia with World Vision's chief executive Tim Costello so they could create Dukale's Dream.

Dukale is a coffee farmer living in Yirgacheffe region – the birthplace of coffee – and at 27-years-old, runs a coffee bean farm with his wife Adanech.

Hugh swapped the glimmering lights of Hollywood to witness first hand the hard work of Dukale and the poverty he faces.

The actor was so touched by Dukale's story, that when he returned to New York, he felt compelled to make a documentary of his experience.

Speaking first-hand about it, Hugh said: "Going to Ethiopia with World Vision and meeting Dukale taught me and Deb what a difference fair trade makes to the income of farmers, and consequently their ability to break the cycle of poverty."

World Vision Ireland are screening Dukale's Dream all around Ireland, and if you want to see the six-year journey, you can check where your nearest screening is here

So maybe this is the key to a long lasting celebrity marriage.

Actress, and wife of Les Miserables actor Hugh Jackman, Deborra-Lee Furness has said that she’s banned Hugh from working with a certain A-lister.

In the past Hugh has gotten up close and personal with a number of Hollywood ladies including Halle Berry and Nicole Kidman. But, Angelina Jolie is the one co-star Deborra is not allowing Hugh work with.

Not too surprising considering Angelina does have a history of romance with her co-stars; Johnny Lee Miller (remember that weird wedding t-shirt?), Billy Bob Thornton, and rumours floated that she was with Colin Farrell for a while too.

The couple were interviewed by The Today Show and asked how they cope with seeing one another getting hot and heavy with other actors.

Deborra joked “I’ve told his agent he’s not allowed to work with Angelina.”

While we’re sure that Deborra has absolutely nothing to worry about, we do empathise with the 59-year old, considering Angelina is known for being the woman of many men’s dreams. Also the fact that she hasn’t ever been afraid to date her co-stars. And then marry them- ahem, Brad Pitt.

After 19 years of wedded bliss and two children, Oscar, 14 and Ava, 9, Deborra just isn’t willing to take any chances.

The blonde Aussie told joked in the interview that she doesn’t have anything personal against Angie, “I’m sure she’s very nice and I love what she’s doing – shining a light on awareness for adoption…just kidding.”

The couple were interviewed before they took part in the Adopt Change fundraiser in Melbourne, Australia.
During the interview the pair also revealed that they never spend more than two weeks apart when working, a promise they made early in their relationship.

“We’ve managed to keep that,” 46-year old Hugh said proudly.

So Deborra probably has nothing to worry about after all!

First Hugh Jackman was rumoured to be arriving in Dublin this Friday, then it was confirmed that Kim will be at Kanye West’s side for hubby’s concert performance next month, and now this!

B.E.D nightclub in Newry have somehow managed to get the great Pharell Williams to make an appearance in their club on July 5th.

Pharrell will be in Ireland then as he’s supporting Kanye West’s gig at Marly Park in July. Even though it’s not specificed what exactly Pharrell will be doing in the club – we can imagine the club will fill up fast that night.

But fans of the nightclub didn’t believe that the Happy singer was really coming to the club, so much so, that the owners were forced to post a statement confirming the news on their Facebook page.

“As you can see we have tagged Pharrell’s official Facebook and our Artwork has his Official logo (i am other)! THIS IS 100&% LEGITIMATE OR HIS LEGAL TEAM WOULD DEMAND THAT WE REMOVED IT!”

Well that’s a definite then!

It’s just been revealed that the gorgeous actor Hugh Jackman could be coming to Dublin this Friday, to see the play; Irish Dirty Laundry at the Smock Alley Theatre.

Apparently the X Men star is flying in to see his acting teacher who has both written and directed the play.

Hugh previously promoted Chris Edmund’s play on Twitter asking his followers to “get along if you can”.

It seems likely that Hugh could be attending the play in Dublin as he is in London this week for Wimbledon and sources revealed that he plans on flying over from the UK for the play.

“Two tickets have been booked under the director’s name for the Friday performance, and he won’t tell anyone who it is.”

Eek! So the gorgeous Aussie could be arriving on Irish shores this Friday!
