More Hugh on vacation...
The star of the X-Men series and The Boy from Oz wasted no time in hitting the water at Palm Beach, happily posing for photos with young fans.
For one such fan, a quick surf turned into a celebrity meeting when Isaac Batterham, 15, bumped around 5.30pm.
Isaac asked Jackman for a quick photo on his mobile phone and the star readily agreed.
Isaac said Jackman had been staying one step ahead of the paparazzi all day.
"I was just chilling on the beach and then I saw him," said Isaac. "It would probably be pretty hard to have everyone follow you around every day, so I just asked him how he was going?
"I was really cautious to ask him for a photo or not because I didn't want to bother him but he said 'yeah' and then I said 'really?' But he said 'yeah', and then I said 'really, really' and then it just happened.
"It went really well, he was amazing and he was really nice."
