I was inspired to make this video after seeing a few clips with Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway in interviews. They have a tremendously inspiring friendship and it is so beautiful how much Anne looks up to Hugh. When they look at each other, I see genuine platonic love there - it is almost like Hugh is her big brother. The idea for the song I chose is not original as someone else has made a tribute to their friendship with the song (I think the melody just goes really well with them), but I used a different cover by Ellie Goulding and even edited the song to be half instrumental and the rest with vocals. I like this version better and think it works well for what I was trying to do. This video should make people smile really hard. It is very pleasant and uplifting and I hope whoever sees it enjoys the editing. Hugh and Anne seem like very lovely people, and Hugh (so far) is in my opinion one of the nicest, most sincere and caring guys in Hollywood and a terrific role model.
On my own
Cause someone's a huge jackass
I won't say who
Thought Australians were our ally
And the Oscar goes to
Miss Anne Hathaway
There are so many people whose generosity and support is the reason I'm standing here right now.
I must thank Hugh Jackman. Hugh, you're the best.
Is there one memory you can share with us from set, one day that really stood out?
The very last scene of the movie, which was shot near the end.
I was standing with Anne Hathaway, who's a great friend of mine.
And I was so proud. I was watching her because she was losing a lot of weight at the time for a particular part of the movie.
We all witnessed that for nine weeks from day one.
It was not a day when Annie didn't do something that completely blew us away.
And I say that as a compliment to you.
Anne Hathaway, unbelievable.
You are the most phenomenally talented performer.
Sit down, sit down. This speaks to my next question.
There's not an ounce of ego inside of you. How do you do that?
When you have people falling all over you. I mean, I've seen it. I saw you on stage.
The woman that I was sitting in front of saw the show 30 times.
She came to see. You are so beloved.
And you are the most selfless actor. And you are so egoless.
It's a little bit funny
This feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
Hugh Jackman, my friend, you are brilliant in this role. I love you.
But boy, if I did
I'd buy a big house where
Hugh is this magical alien combination of strength and soul and heart and artistry and fun.
Oh, Nixon.
You know I love you too.
Anne Hathaway. Thank you, Anne Hathaway.
You mentioned Hugh Jackman in your acceptance speech. Yes.
Can you tell us how he inspired you in this film?
We look to him every day and to his strength.
And to his indefatigable spirit. He never complained once.
He did as many takes as need be.
And he was absolutely our rock and our inspiration through everything.
And to me personally.
We hereby declare this Hugh Jackman Day in Hollywood.
We do live in a world that can tend towards the cynical.
And to have someone in a film like this where
it's inherent to the film's success that you believe in the goodness
of the central character.
And that someone like Hugh exists who has that goodness within him.
It made the film soar.
This is the who suffered more for their art movie.
No, you lost more weight than I did.
We're very competitive, Anne and I.
It's the best I can do.
My gift is my song.
Hugh, I mean, not to emasculate you, dude,
but we were kind of diet buddies on this.
He would give me all these tips on little tricks here and there.
And I'll never forget the day that we were up in the elephant
just shooting the last scene of the film.
And I have my meager portions.
And Hugh's like, hey, what are you eating?
And I go through everything that I'm eating,
which is very boring and frightening.
And I get to, and I'm having a quarter of a baked potato.
And Hugh goes, bye, potato.
I'm like, fine, Jackman, take away my one comfort.
Wolverine is being chased by Gladiator.
Catwoman gets knocked up and for some ungodly reason
goes to see Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter and Borat.
Then Wolverine agrees to raise Catwoman's baby.
And she grows up to star in Mamma Mia.
