Hugh Jackman in wax

Is this the real Hugh Jackman?  Nope.  It’s a wax figure which was commissioned by Twentieth Century Fox to stir up interest in the X-Men Origins:  Wolverine DVD and Blueray Disc coming out on September 15th.  The figure will make a five-city tour here in the US.  Its first stop will be in Washington D. C. (Aug.31-Sept1), then Philadelphia (Sept 2), New York (Sept 3-7) Dallas (Sept 10-11) and, finally, Los Angeles, (Sept 14-15).  Hopefully, it will be travelling in a refrigerated vehicle or by the time it arrives in Los Angeles it will be a mere puddle of itself.
One of “Wolverine’s” powers is the ability to rapidly heal himself (itself?) from any wound, disease or toxin.  I’m doubtful this particular rendering of the Wolverine would be able to recover from a lighted match. 
By the way, did you know that real wolverines are of the weasel family and have a heavyset body, short legs, dark fur, and a bushy tail and are also called a skunk bear. A far cry from the X-Men version.  I think Grizzly Adams would have been better suited for the part.
You fans of the X-Men Origins:  Wolverine are going to have to wait until sometime in 2011 for the sequel.  But all you Hugh Jackman fans will be ecstatic to know he is scheduled to appear in a film co-starring..da da dada..Robert Pattinson.  How sexy is that combination?!  The film, which is in pre-production, is called Unbound Captives and it is, of all things, a western.  Very interesting.  A Brit and an Aussie doing an American western.  And, for anyone living in, or visiting,  New York City Jackman and the newest “James Bond”,  Daniel Craig, will be appearing on Broadway in a two man play titled  A Steady Rain,  with an opening date of September 29th and running through December 6th.
Well, I  don’t want to leave you with a waxen Hugh Jackman so feast you eyes below.
