Speaking to Australians in Hollywood podcast, Jackman revealed that he had got the role after the withdrawal of Scottish actor Dougray Scott because of filming commitments for Mission impossible: 2.
The actors met before filming began at the opening of Fox Studios in Sydney.
"He [Dougray] then came and said, "Mate, I'm really sorry," revealed Jackman.
"And he said" Mate, it has nothing to do with you. It's a great role, go ahead and crush it. You'll be great. I've always thought that it was a clbad act. "

Do not feel too bad for Scott. When asked on a red carpet last year, he admitted he refused the role three times because he "did not want to do it".
"The film I was making at the time was so overgrown that I could not do it in the end," he said. "So it was Wolverine's story. I never think about it to be honest with you.
We bet that it does a little bit.
