Actor Hugh Jackman has explained how his mother is the reason he supports Norwich City Football Club.

Jackman, 55, told the BBC how, as a child growing up in Australia, he decided to support the Canaries after asking his English parents where they were from.

His father Christopher told him he was from London and his mother Grace said she was born in raised in Norwich, where she lives again now.

Jackman, who was speaking during an interview with The One Show alongside Wrexham AFC owner and fellow actor Ryan Reynolds, said he chose Norwich City as his team as a result.
