The X-Men star says his fellow Aussie actor tossed film roles his way that have made him a household name too.
'We were good friends before. And Russell has given me advice several times at key moments in my life that helped with my career.
'I also owe him because two of the biggest roles I've ever had in my life, he turned down — and suggested me for them.
'On X-Men, he was Bryan Singer's first choice for Wolverine, and he also mentioned me for Australia,' Hugh told Entertainment Weekly.
'He really is incredibly smart, and generous. It was a joy to work with him.'
Jackman is set to next be on our screens in Wolverine, but it's his role in Les Miserables that is currently getting critics excited.
'The movie hangs on him, and he carries it from beginning to end,' says one US critic, Roger Friedman, adding: 'He'll be nominated for Best Actor and will likely win.'
