If you could go back in time and give yourself a warning, what would you choose to tell yourself? Well, it turns out for Hugh Jackman one experience in his career stands out above all others.
And it turns out that experience is the ensemble comedy Movie 43 – the star-studded series of comedy skits that turned out to be an astonishingly awful movie.
While promoting X-Men: Days Of Future Past, Jackman teamed up with Yahoo! to interview himself in 1999, and he has some advice on what his younger self should avoid – mainly that wearing testicles on your chin is funnier in theory than practice.
He says, “When they come to you with this great idea of putting testicles around your neck and being part of this hilarious group and ensemble of the funniest movies of all time [Movie 43], don’t believe them”
“You could take the testicles because you use them quite a lot at parties and dinner parties and bring them out, and it actually gets a good laugh, but the movie you could do without”
As for his best movie he says, “You’re going to do a movie with a guy called Chris Nolan, called The Prestige, which is going to be right up there, and another one which unfortunately not many people will see, called The Fountain, and that’s going to be a life-changing experience”
Take a look at Hugh interviewing himself above, and if you’re wondering whether we’re joking about the chin testicles, take a look at the pic from Movie 43 below (and believe me, while it looks pretty funny as an still image, as a movie it’s an abomination).
