Settle a debate, is this Hugh Jackman in this ad?

Had a friend over to binge watch Love is Blind. At one point we ended up debating whether this Australian bloke is Hugh Jackman or not.

An ad for Xero. Surely he doesn’t need the money that bad is my argument.

No, this is the guy from Our Flag Means Death

Get thyself to Specsavers op.

BusterGonad · 30/03/2024 05:22

Lol.

MississippiAF · 30/03/2024 05:23

Lol

WandaWonder · 30/03/2024 05:24

I know who it really is, but he looks like Sean Wilson from Corrie

No idea how on earth Hugh Jackman looks anything like the actual man though

shoppingshamed · 30/03/2024 05:35

YABU not to have googled the answer while the advert was on, you'd have known within 0.06 seconds who it was

Fifiesta · 30/03/2024 05:51

They only have similar colouring and a few facial expressions in common.
If you are still not convinced open up the photo, and you will see that your ‘look alike’ has a mole on the right side of his face, close to the nose to mouth line.
Bangs gravel, case dismissed!

Brilliant 😂😂

PurpleFlower1983 · 30/03/2024 06:28

There are similarities in the carefully chosen pics you have picked but in reality the two are not alike.

Rhys Nov 2023 from his Instagram
Hugh 2024 People magazine

He looks more like Michael Caine in this one!!

Definitely nothing like Hugh Jackman though. I really thought that the picture in the OP was just a snap of the advert and HJ appeared in it later on. I didn't actually think the person in the picture was who the OP thought was HJ.

OMG Hugh is gorgeous.

Even my husband said I could have him if the opportunity came up.

He'd be more interested in your husband than you! He bats for the other side!

Upinthenightagain · 30/03/2024 08:01

If you bought Hugh Jackman on Wish…

No its Rhys Darby

Certainly is. Flight of the Conchords

TinselSniffer · 30/03/2024 08:09

Murray, present!

Looks nowt like him. However, Justin Timberlake is really starting to look like HJ in the video for his latest song.

BalloonSlayer · 30/03/2024 08:10

Whenever I see those adverts I think "Why on earth is Hugh Jackman doing these godawful ads?" before realising it's someone else so you are not alone.

Lol He is not.

He would not be in the closet.

CherryRipe1 · 30/03/2024 08:12

I think he looks more like Christopher Dean the skater than Hugh Jackman.

JJathome · 30/03/2024 08:13

lol that’s hysterical how pissed were you when you started this thread 😂

TinaYouFatLard · 30/03/2024 08:13

Slightly off topic but why do some big stars do these type of ads? DS and I couldn’t believe Samuel L Jackson is in an advert for Warburton bread. He’s Nick Fury for goodness sake!

SoupDragon · 30/03/2024 08:15

I can see a resemblance in some of the photos posted by the OP but the guy in the ad is very obviously Rhys Darby (assuming you know him I guess! If you've not knowingly seen him in anything you probably wouldn't recognise him 😂)

ExtraOnions · 30/03/2024 08:20

The utterly gorgeous Rhys Darby … I would climb over Jackman to get to him.

Ginmonkeyagain · 30/03/2024 08:27

It's Rhys Darby, a New Zealand comedian - he does a lot of stuff with Taika Waititi and Jermaine Clement

Saw that ad for the first time yesterday and did a triple take!

2mummies1baby · 30/03/2024 08:36

I can definitely see the resemblance between Rhys Darby and Hugh Jackman, but not enough to mistake one for the other!
