Hugh Jackman Surprised a Pint-Size Fan With Cystic Fibrosis, and It Will Make You Emotional

It's very easy to idolize a celebrity based on characters they portray in movies, but Hugh Jackman is the real deal, in real life — and quite frankly, we're a bit obsessed with him.

Domenic, a 9-year-old boy born with Cystic Fibrosis, and a huge Hugh Jackman fan, was on Australian radio station KIIS through Make-A-Wish Australia to talk about how much he loves X-Men's Wolverine. Breakfast show hosts Kyle and Jackie O asked the excited boy if he'd like to speak to Jackman on the phone to talk to him about Wolverine — to which he obviously responded, "Yeah, that would be awesome!"

Little did Domenic know, Jackman was on the phone in the other room — so when the boy asked him, "What's your favorite Wolverine action pose and line?" Jackman asked him to hold on so he could figure out a cool way to show him. Into the studio he walks, crouching into a Wolverine-action-pose, and it puts the biggest smile on the boy's face.

The two banter a bit while sharing their favorite Wolverine lines, and it's absolutely heartwarming. But the best part, perhaps, is Jackman's genuine comment, "Mate, you are awesome. It is so great to meet you. I've met a lot of fans over the years; you are one of my favorites, man."

So, so sweet.
