The Greatest Drawbacks: Hugh Jackman's new heights of fame have come at a surprising cost
<p>Hugh Jackman has been one of the world’s greatest stars for years. His diverse range of talents, which include acting, dancing and singing have captured fans hearts around the globe.</p>
<p>After the success of<span> </span><em>The Greatest Showman</em><span> </span>in 2017, the 50-year-old has been propelled to new heights of fame, which is something that he was surprised by.</p>
<p>Jackman spoke to<span> </span><em><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/hugh-jackmans-big-song-and-dance-show-reveals-untold-stories/news-story/c96c097bdd6b823d675f311a7c2a27ad" target="_blank">The Herald Sun</a><span> </span></em>about how his life has changed since playing P.T Barnum in the film.</p>
<p>“It's made it difficult going to my daughter's dance classes,” Jackman explained, as the film resonated with a much younger audience.</p>
<p>“I used to go every week, and nobody really cared. The dance school was not your classic Wolverine fanbase.</p>
<p>“Now I go and the songs from The Greatest Showman are playing in nearly every dance class so it's a bit different.”</p>

<p>As Jackman has previously had a filmography that appeals to older audiences, it would make sense that the success of<span> </span><em>The Greatest Showman</em><span> </span>would introduce Jackman to a whole new and younger audience.</p>
<p>Jackman shared with<span> </span><em><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-46446499" target="_blank">The BBC</a><span> </span></em>and said he would be open to a sequel of the film.</p>
<p>“If a genuine opportunity came up where it felt like the right thing to do, then yep, I'd get the top hat back out,” he said.</p>
<p>“It's clear to me and to everyone that people love these characters. I loved this movie, I loved this character and it was one of the great joys of my life.”</p>
