Hugh Jackman Buys Crew Members Lotto Tickets
Hugh Jackman has a tradition of buying crew members on his movie sets lottery tickets every Friday! The actor said: It s my way of paying taxes. The very first film I did in America, I was embarrassed to say two months in that I didn t know half of the crew s names. So I thought that on a Friday afternoon I ll whip out and by and buy lottery tickets for everyone and hand them out saying it s an Australian tradition but it s not. I buried myself, because from that moment on I have never had a Friday off from filming. If I m not called, they find a reason to call me. They were terrified that if I don t turn up, half the crew won t turn up either! I can tell you right now, do not buy lottery tickets I ve been doing this for 10 to 12 years and the most anyone has ever won is $110.” Very generous of him!
