What a sweet pair! Hugh Jackman was spotted walking with his adorable 4-year-old daughter Ava in New York City on Friday (October 23). It looked like Hugh was saying to Ava, “you make my heart sing,” as the animated father-daughter duo walked home from school. It also looked like they were having some serious giggles along their travels. How cute!

The 41-year-old Wolverine star and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness are also parents to 9-year-old son, Oscar.

Jackman acted the loving father as he rode around on a scooter and tickled his kids. The X-Men actor is currently co-starring with Daniel Craig on Broadway at the Schoenfeld Theatre in a limited engagement of the play “A Steady Rain”.

In celebration of Climate Week, kicking off in New York today, Vulture hero Hugh Jackman took time away from his grueling rehearsal schedule for Broadway’s A Steady Rain to speak at a U.N. press conference on green living: “To be fair, as an actor, this is not something I’m very accustomed to, and probably about twelve months ago this kind of event would have maybe overwhelmed me a bit,” he told reporters. “But something happened to me just under twelve months ago that put things into perspective — and that was being named the Sexiest Man Alive.” We spoke with him after his speech about both Neil Patrick Harris’s opening number last night and his Steady Rain co-star, Daniel Craig.

Wolverine and James Bond will soon be squaring off eight times a week. And here’s the first publicity photo of Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig in the Broadway play A Steady Rain, in which they play Chicago cops with enough troubles to fill Soldier Field. Jackman, who won a Tony in 2004 for hoofing it as 1970s singer-songwriter Peter Allen in The Boy From Oz, plays Denny, a patrolman with a racist streak and violent temper. And Craig, a London stage veteran making his Broadway debut, plays Joey, a recovering alcoholic and gentler soul who may not be as docile as he first seems. In A Steady Rain, which just began rehearsals, the two buddies in blue recount a few harrowing days on the job and their very different accounts of a police call that quickly went south.

Performances of American playwright Keith Huff’s two-man play begin Sept. 10 with an official opening set for Sept. 29. The show, directed by Tony nominee John Crowley (The Pillowman), is scheduled to run through Dec. 6. And while I have my reservations about Craig’s porn-stache — a look that 007 could never get away with, thank heavens — I have to say that both stars look rugged, handsome, and intense. They can walk my beat any day.

Although he hasn’t started performances in the new drama A Steady Rain yet, Hollywood hunk Hugh Jackman already has his eye on another stage project: Shakespeare! In an interview in the September issue of Vogue, Jackman is said to be ready to fulfill a longtime dream by starring in a yet-to-be-chosen Shakespeare classic for director Trevor Nunn.

In the feature (in which the actor was handsomely photographed celeb shutterbug Annie Leibovitz at the Cherry Lane Theatre), Jackman reminisces about his early career on the stage, making a debut at age eight in Camelot (“I was probably the most squeaky-voiced King Arthur of all time”) and auditioning for a professional production of Beauty and the Beast in Australia by singing “Stars” from Les Miserables. (“My voice cracked on the last note, which really made me feel terrific.”)

Of returning to Broadway opposite Daniel Craig in Keith Huff’s thriller A Steady Rain after his Tony-winning turn in the splashy musical The Boy from Oz, Jackman says, “I loved the idea of returning to the basicis—the spoken word, two actors and the audience.”
