So Hugh Jackman, the Wolverine guy, crashed at Neil Diamond's place. Yeah, seriously. The whole thing went down because Diamond, the 84-year-old singer, saw Jackman's new movie 'Song Sung Blue'. Jackman plays Mike Sardina in that film, a member of a Diamond tribute act called Lightning & Thunder. Diamond got emotional watching it and called Jackman up. That call somehow led to Jackman getting a karaoke session and a full sleepover at Diamond's Colorado home.
Jackman and his co-star Kate Hudson, who plays Claire in the film, talked about this at a New York screening. Hudson actually met Diamond first because she lives near him in Colorado. She heard he loved the movie and arranged a visit, hanging out on his porch for lemonade. She sent a photo to Jackman, who basically invited himself to Colorado immediately after that.
Hudson just shared stories with the singer, but Jackman leveled up to the ultimate fan experience. He got the private concert and the guest room. The whole scenario is bizarrely wholesome. Just two famous dudes, one a Broadway and screen icon, the other a music legend, having a slumber party after a tribute movie sparked a friendship.
