About this episode
Oprah sits down for an intimate conversation with Hugh Jackman, the man behind the iconic Wolverine character from the "X-Men" franchise. Hugh talks about his wife, Australian actress Deborra-Lee Furness, and about their two children. He also talks about the discipline it takes to maintain his chiseled body and about his very public zipline accident during his entrance atop the Sydney Opera House while taping The Oprah Winfrey Show. The two also discuss his Academy Award-nominated performance in Les Misérables, the secret to his success, and about his relationship with his mother, who left the family when he was just 8 years old. Plus, Hugh's wife Deborra-Lee joins the conversation.
