From Wolverine to Chappie, Australian actor Hugh Jackman has been associated with some of cinema's greatest heroes. Now, however, the actor has become the real-life hero after Jackman valorously saved his children from drowning.
Jackman and his children Oscar and Ava were swimming at Sydney's Bondi Beach over the weekend when a riptide swooped in and started causing problems.
The actor reportedly saved his children from drowning while also calling out for the other swimmers to get out of the water.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, National Rugby League player Daniel Conn was also in the water when the riptide attacked.
"I think he was under a bit of pressure with the two kids at once but he was pretty cool, calm and collected, as Hugh always is, I suppose," Conn said, adding that Jackman is a "superdad, superhero and super bloke."
A rep for "super bloke" Jackman confirmed to ABC News that his family is completely fine, adding, "It looks more dramatic than it was."
On Instagram, the beach's lifeguards thanked Jackman for his assistance. Check out their post below along with a video of the incident.
