"It was traumatic." Hugh Jackman opens up about being abandoned by his mother.

Hugh Jackman was eight and living with his parents and four older siblings in Sydney’s northern suburbs. One day, while preparing himself for school, his mother Grace said goodbye to the kids in a way that was different. She was wearing a towel on her head from the shower. She chose her words carefully, there was a certain look in her eyes, and eight-year-old Jackman knew something he didn’t understand was happening.

Inspired by the imagination of P.T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.

Hugh Jackman's children have cameos in 'The Greatest Showman'.

The 49-year-old actor's son Oscar, 17, and 12-year-old daughter Ava were frequent visitors to the set of his latest musical and they had a great time enjoying a brief moment in front of the camera.

Asked if the kids had visited the set, Hugh - who is married to Deborra-Lee Furness - said: "Yes. They're both in the movie as spectators in the crowd. They were there for about three days and they both really enjoyed it."

Oscar has previously made another brief appearance in another of his father's movies, 'Australia', but he found the experience so boring, it put him off any ideas he might have had about pursing acting himself.

Hugh Jackman never aimed for movie stardom

To mainstream audiences, Hugh Jackman is perhaps best known as the claw-wielding mutant Wolverine, a role first portrayed in the comic book turned big screen hit X-Men (2000). The film ushered in a new wave of superhero blockbusters, with Jackman and co - stars Patrick Stewart

Hugh Michael Jackman is an Australian actor, singer, multi-instrumentalist, dancer and producer. Jackman has won international recognition for his Met his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, while co - starring in the Australian TV series Correlli (1995).

Hugh told Britain's OK! magazine: "Oscar was in 'Australia' when he was 10 years old and [director] Baz Luhrmann had him do the same thing four days in a row.

"Literally walk up the steps and walk across and down and he said, 'I don't know how you do your job Dad, this is the most boring thing I've ever done.'

"I was like, 'Great, mission accomplished.' "

However, the 'Logan' star may find it harder to dissuade his daughter from a life in the spotlight.

He said: "She would love to be on stage to sing and dance and also become a chef. I always respond that a chef is good."

Ava was particularly impressed when she saw 'The Greatest Showman' once it was complete.

Her father said: "They loved it. Ava said, 'Dad, this is by far the best movie you've ever done.' She's 12 and so it's right down her alley."
