What Kind of Parent is Hugh Jackman_

Have your kids come to see the show? Yeah, yeah. What did they... My dad, when he used to sing in church, I was mortified because I thought he was singing really loudly and I was so embarrassed. Do your kids... Do they love what you do? Do they like seeing you sing and dance? They kind of get very embarrassed by it. My daughter, oh my God. When my wife comes, I sing a song for my wife in the show and sometimes I go out to the crowd and if my daughter... She literally hides under the seat in front. She dives. How old is she? She's six. And I said to him after the show, it was about a week ago, that came on a Sunday matinee, and I said, guys, look, you can be really honest with me. It's not really meant for your age, the show. Do you like the show? And you can tell me if you don't. And my son, Oscar, says, you know what, Dad? I really like it. And by the way, he doesn't like theater. And I was touched. And my daughter said, I find it a little boring. What are you like as a parent? Are you very... Are you disciplinarian? I'm kind of strict. Are you really? Yeah, I'm more the strict one. Really? That's interesting. Well, that's sort of what I knew. You know, my parents split up. My father brought up five kids, and he's a chartered accountant. It was just very regimented, everything. So that's what I grew up with. And Deb, his single mother, only child situation, and it was kind of like whatever goes. So we are literally opposite parenting styles. You know who saved us was The Supernanny. That show, The Supernanny. Oh, really? Oh, my God. You know, the first... And I'm one of those parents. I read every book. Right? And my son came out, and apparently he hadn't read any of them. I really... We were just all at sea, and then we found that show, and I'll tell you, our daughter had a much easier ride. We just had the new Supernanny on the show, on this show. Yeah, she's fantastic.
