HUGH JACKMAN - JACKMAN TO RETURN TO AUSTRALIAN TV

Actor HUGH JACKMAN isn't too proud to return to his TV roots - he's set to appear on one of his favourite Australian TV series.

The X-MEN star is keen to shoot scenes in LOVE MY WAY, a Foxtel cable drama starring CLAUDIA KARVAN.

Jackman says, "I love that series. I think it is brilliant and I was so proud of Claudia (Karvan), who I have worked with (before)."

The two starred in romantic comedy PAPERBACK HERO in 1999, before Jackman made it big in Hollywood.

The VAN HELSING star has already met with Karvan and the production team to schedule his appearance, according to website moviehole.net.

He adds, "I met with them yesterday and just said, 'Look, if you are writing and I am around... If there is a role I can do, I would love to do it.'"

Jackman appeared in several Australian TV shows when he was starting out in his career including CORELLI and BLUE HEELERS.
