Beside shinning at the theatres, Hugh Jackman has just added another new big screen role. As 'The Daily Mail' writes, he will star in Olympic biopic EDDIE THE EAGLE the true story of Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, the first British ski jumper in Olympic history. Although he took last place in both of his ski jumping events at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, EDDIE THE EAGLE Edwards became a media sensation. Hugh Jackman will play Chuck Berghorn, a ski jumping expert from Lake Placid who helps Eddie train for the Calgary Olympics, while Taron Egerton has won the lead role in a competitive audition with other young stars. Timothy Spall is wanted for the role of his father. Hugh has two big blockbusters out this year: CHAPPIE and PAN!
