Here is perspective for you.

Yesterday (Saturday) I met some of my fellow Rosicrucians (or roasted croutons as we call them) at the local lodge in Melbourne. I ate a very large quantity of fresh tropical Australian watermelon, and mentioned to them that I and many of my friends are complete squeeing (I used another word) fans.

And a very sober lady looked up at me and squinted slightly and said "I studied philosophy in school with Hugh Jackman, he didn't seem like anyone special at the time... barely noticed him."

Did he get pretty by some mystical means? Neither she nor anyone else sitting in the room had ever seen one of his films!  Then another lady piped up and said "Movie stars aren't much.  I know one of them, his mother is German, father is Bulgarian.  Used to be Banna(unintelligible Bulgarian name).  Goes by Eric Bana now. Had him over to the house I don't know how many times."

Eric Banadinovich. He is sooooooooooo HOT!! I went to see Munich and had a hard time paying attention to the plot because I couldn't stop looking at him. Here's a picture

I don't think that the 87 year old woman I was talking to was all that impressed by his muscles!

Hehehee... You talk to most Aussies and we just remember Eric Bana as the dorky little comedian from the TV. He's a very good impersonator, which is probably why he makes a good actor as well.  We all thought he was just a funny guy until the opportunity came up for him to play Mark "Chopper" Read, a notorious Aussie thug, crim and murderer. He just NAILED this guy in the movie and suddenly everybody was like "wow, he can ACT!"  He gained heaps of weight to play him and if you've ever seen the real "Chopper" interviewed... oh god, he just nailed him.

I'm really glad that Hollywood has noticed though - he deserves it.   :)

Sheyne!  There you are!

I was inquiring about where you were, I have come to Australia and I am on a Hugh-hunt!  Well really I got a job in Melbourne, but... I want to get to know all of the Aussie Bettermostians if I can.
