Hugh Jackman gave Marvel boss Kevin Feige a memorable and humorous tribute at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Thursday, celebrating the man who played a pivotal role in making him a global superstar.
Jackman known for his iconic role as Wolverine, was on hand to honor Feige who was being celebrated with a star on the Walk of Fame.
He presented Feige with a $15 voucher for a popular steakhouse chain, adding a light-hearted touch to the evening.
In a video shared on Facebook, he struggled to maintain a straight face while delivering the cheeky gift.
"I honestly would go with you, but I’m kind of a massive movie star now, so it wouldn’t look good for me," Jackman quipped.
During his speech, Jackman reflected on his long-standing relationship with Feige, revealing that he had known the Marvel Studios president since his audition for Wolverine in the X-Men movie 25 years ago.
Speaking to a star-studded crowd that included Ryan Reynolds and Chris Pratt, Jackman’s tribute highlighted the deep respect and gratitude he holds for his role in his career.
