Hey, Hugh, man, you got two kids.
Is dating entering the picture for them?
I had this very weird situation.
I'm sure you've had to encounter it.
It was a few years back and we were down
at Bondi Beach in Australia.
And Oscar was already like, you sit over here, dad.
I'm gonna sit over there, right?
Because people noticing me.
So he's, I look over and I'm with my wife, Deb,
and he's chatting to this girl
who looked to me to be about 14 or 15.
He was about 11 or 12.
And I'm like, yeah, all right.
Next thing I know, he's walking over with the girl to me
and he's sort of pointing at me.
And then he's sort of walking ahead of the girl,
like 10 yards.
I'm like, this is not cool, Oscar, stay with the girl.
And he runs sort of, the last bit, he runs towards me.
He goes, dad, dad, dad, I told her you're Wolverine.
Just sign something, do a photo,
do whatever you gotta do.
Oh, hi, Charlotte, this is my dad.
I don't know if you've met him.
His name is Hugh and all that.
And I was like, I'm the wingman for my 11 year old.
That's crazy.
