Hollywood star Hugh Jackman has reminisced about how kindly Marvel head Kevin Feige treated him after his “underwhelming” audition for the superhero Wolverine. Jackman told Entertainment Weekly that he was utterly convinced he had blown his audition for the role in 2000’s X-Men film.
The Marvel Studios head honcho Feige was then a producer’s assistant. He invited Jackman to dinner with him and the screenwriter, and drove Jackman to the airport after.“I said, Kevin, we all know I’m not getting the part. You don’t have to do dinner. But no, he sat in there and had a steak dinner with me and then drove me to the airport. I’ll never forget it. That was the nicest thing. I thought, I’ll never see him again.”
