PAPARAZZI'S A PAL WHEN HUGH LOSES KID
Here's proof (if you needed it!) that stars don't think like thee
or me: "X-Men" hunk HUGH JACKMAN - strutting his muscles
on a Malibu beach with kids Oscar, 8, and Ava, 2 - panicked
when he suddenly realized his little boy was nowhere in
sight. "I'd sat down with my two kids, we were
playing - and all of a sudden he's gone!" Hugh,
who's starring in his new flick "Deception,"
told an interviewer. "A couple of minutes go
by...and I'm like, all right, where's my son? All
of a sudden, I'm freaking out. I start running
down the beach...and out of the corner of my
eye, I see this guy running behind me. I turn
around - and it's a paparazzi!" (Folks, you
or I, at this point, would yell at the guy: "Hey
- have you seen a little kid?" But we don't
think like stars. Here's how Hugh reacted...)
"So I think, 'Oh, NO! That's all I need - I've
lost my son, and now this guy's going to
take pictures of me hysterical'...so I'm
trying to avoid him!" Hugh kept running,
but finally stopped when the photog
screamed urgently, "HUGH!...HUGH!"
As he turned to face the guy, Hugh heard
what he'd wanted so desperately to hear:
"Listen, mate, there's your son...over
there!" Said Hugh: "I looked around - and
saw my little boy. That paparazzi was
really child-minding! I guess those guys
do come in handy...occasionally."
