Hugh Jackman as Wolverine

Most fans know Hugh Jackman from his long tenure playing Wolverine in Fox's "X-Men" film franchise. However, Jackman has a whole other side to his career, as a Tony Award-winning actor on Broadway. Jackman got to combine his Broadway and film careers in Tom Hooper's 2012 film adaptation of "Les Misérables," where Jackman played the role of Jean Valjean. While on the press tour for "X-Men: Days of Future Past," Jackman got to combine his X-Men credentials with his musical skills. On BBC Radio, he performed "Wolverine: The Musical," a versions of Jean Valjean's character defining song from "Le Misérables," "Who Am I," but with the lyrics swapped out to represent Jackman's Wolverine persona, beginning with the line, "Who Am I? Am I a superhero with some claws?" You can check out full performance in the video embedded below. Jackman will reprise his role as Wolverine in "X-Men: Days of Future Past," in which the X-Men send Wolverine to the past in a desperate effort to change history and prevent an event that results in doom for both humans and mutants. "X-Men: Days of Future Past" comes to theaters May 23, 2014.
