| Bryan Singer (director 'X-men') 'I offered Hugh the role on the spot. Usually you think about it or you make a call or you call an agent. It's the first time I ever offered a role to an actor on the spot since I offered Kevin Spacey 'Usual Suspects'. Hugh was really extraordinary.' Rebecca Romijn-Stamos ('X-men', 'X2') 'He's the perfect man. He's talented, bright, sweet, charming and gracious. Everyone loves him and he is sexy as hell.' Tom DeSanto (executive producer 'X-men') 'He's a down-to-earth guy, a well-grounded guy, a zero-ego guy, with none of the bulsh*t that a lot of the people have in his town.' Anna Paquin ('X-men', 'X2') 'I knew Hugh was a great actor because he was amazing. He's not like Wolverine at all.' Tony Goldwyn (actor-director 'Someone Like You') 'Hugh is absolutely guileless. If the guy had been any less intelligent or less big-hearted, I don't think our movie would work.' John Travolta ('Swordfish') 'When he is with the baby, Hugh is just like he is with adults. He's interested. He cares. He is full-bodied with people.' Halle Berry ('Swordfish') 'He's one of the kindest men I have ever met. I was very nervous and Hugh was more concerned about me then I was. He wasn't just sitting around waiting for me to take off my shirt. He was the one who called for the set to be closed and he told a guy who didn't need to be there to beat it. I had to shoot that scene three times and thanks to Hugh it wasn't stressful.' Ashley Judd ('Someone Like You') 'The love he radiates is sublime. And that is gorgeous in the most emotional, captivating way.' 'The second he hits the screen you love him.' 'Hugh is a stitch. He was funny and sweet and acerbic and hilarious in his role. When we first met, he was so prepared, I felt like a big dope, hanging out in rehearsal to cruise for snacks.' Maureen Lipman ('Oklahoma') 'Women, men, children and dogs completely went to pieces when Hugh took his shirt off.' James Mangold (director 'Kate & Leopold') 'Hugh is an amazing actor and entirely unique in this day and age. He just has the essence of great movie stars of the past. There are times that you can see Errol Flynn or Cary Grant in him.' |
