You can forgive Jets’ rookie punter Lachlan Edwards if he was a little starstruck. After all, fellow Aussie Hugh Jackman was on the sideline Sunday and Edwards wasn’t going to boot away the chance for an introduction.
“It was funny,” he said this week on Inside the Jets. “I actually ran out and Tanner (Purdum) pointed to Mr. Johnson, who was speaking to Hugh Jackman. I just sat down and said I have to talk to him, he’s the probably the only other Australian in the building.”
The 6’2” Jackman, who has done it all throughout his illustrious acting, singing and producing career including the part of Wolverine, warmly greeted the 6’4”Edwards upon his arrival.
