I cant imagine Bawbwa Walters conducting this interview - it would be an antagonistic mess. But Katie is the vivacious, focused, intelligent, personable, and well-informed ultimate professional. Katie and Hugh have known each other for a long time, but the striking thing is how much they are alike in personality, disposition, demeanor, and sense of what is fun and important. If there is an award ceremony where the greatest interview is honored, this one is a winner. Thank you Katie and Hugh.

Jackman le deseo que pase un feliz cumpleaños en familia. Atentamente. Maria Emilce

What a terrific interview! Hugh seems engaging, self-effacing, comfortable in his own skin and excited about how his life has turned out. You can easily tell in this interview that he has an appreciation for the good fortunes he's been afforded, the life he's worked hard to build and the ride he's taking every day. Maybe it's because he's an actor that we find his life intriguing; but I find the most fascinating thing about him is that it really wouldn't matter if he was famous or not; he's an example of how to live life with a genuine sense of grace, wonder and appreciation.

What a happy person he seems to be. He's such an inspiration. Look up the words positive, joyful and purposeful and you'll find a picture of his smiling face.

Katie Couric is a model and an icon in journalism even here in the Philippines. She is a personal favorite of mine. And I am so glad that she did this interview with Hugh Jackman. We love him so much! A role model in almost every possible way. I just love him--literally.

Terrific interview, Katie. Hugh Jackman is so down to earth, it's always a pleasure to see an interview with him. He's intelligent, humble, personable, talented, loaded with charisma, and most importantly, devoted to his wife and kids. He's got his priorities right. Thanks for the nice long chat with him and for asking good questions.

Fabulous interview. So glad to see Katie ask things that fans would ask. They were both so funny and entertaining. Mr Jackman is such a genuine, engaging and happy guy. I love watching everything he does. He talks with such love about his family too. He takes everything in stride with humility and great humor. A lot of celebrities could take lessons in how to handle fame.
