Hugh Jackman’s perm almost made him lose Wolverine role

Washington, May 11: Hugh Jackman has revealed that his hair perm almost made him lose his action-packed role in ‘Wolverine’.Hugh, who had got the perm for his role in a musical called Curly in Oklahoma, revealed that his perm put off Dougray Scott, the casting director of Wolverine.

"I was doing a musical in London at the time, playing Curly in Oklahoma - so I had a perm in my hair,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying. "So I put the hat on to do the audition and about halfway through, the casting director was like, `That was great, could you do one without the hat? I can`t really see Wolverine wearing a baseball cap. I took it off and I read about two lines and she goes, `Cut, put the hat on - now!`" he added. However, luck favoured Hugh when filming of Mission Impossible overran and Scott was asked to complete the flick first, that is when Hugh re-auditioned and the rest is history. ANI
