Quotes:
"My daughter says she wants to be a rock star and I can see her doing that. She’s only four but when she was three, I would go through the radio stations and you hit heavy metal and she’s like, 'YEA!' She’ll be a mosh-pit girl." - Hugh, on his daughter's future aspirations.

"When we went first to talk to someone in Los Angeles about adoption, I remember, they said, 'What do you want?' I said, ‘Well, healthy would be good.’ And they said, 'Well, what about the race?' We'd ticked mixed race. And he said, 'Now, listen. Please don't, please don't just tick that because you think it's the right thing to tick.' And he said to me, that we turn away children every month who are mixed race, because we can't find families for them." - Hugh, on why it was a "no-brainer" for he and his wife to adopt children in need.

• Married to Deborra Lee-Furness.
• Father to son Oscar, 10, and daughter Ava, 4 1/2.

Everything is related to the kids now," Hugh said. "It’s frightening how in love you are with them. You have those little flashes of them jumping into a road and you stop breathing. Everything is exposed with kids. There’s no artifice, because they see you exactly what you are. You can’t pretend. Actors fool people about the kind of person they are. You wear whatever mask you want to put on. But it doesn’t work with kids.”

Hugh Jackman is our favorite celeb dad year after year. We can't help but love the hands-on dad to Ava, 4 1/2 and Oscar, 10! He's often seen doing the school pick ups, playing alongside his kids at the park and raving about the "mad love affair" with his wife of 14 years. Hollywood Life talked to the sexy papa about Ava's career aspirations and how Oscar uses his dad's celebrity status to impress the girls.

The 41-year-old Australian actor said that Oscar wants to be an artist without the fame. Although, his son recognizes that fame isn't all bad. ”I have caught him going up to girls saying, ‘hey, you know my dad’s Wolverine?’ Would you like your picture with him?” laughs Hugh. “So he’s sort of quietly using it a little bit.”

On the other hand, Ava relishes in the spotlight and loves the paparazzi. According to Hugh, she's a natural performer.

My daughter says she wants to be a rock star and I can see her doing that. She’s only four but when she was three, I would go through the radio stations and you hit heavy metal and she’s like, 'YEA!' She’ll be a mosh-pit girl.”
