For anyone who may have no idea what im talking about….
I was teaching in Seoul, South Korea in 2009. I would Often take the Subway to the Coex Mall / Seoul World Trade Center to just find some people to chat with and maybe share a coffee or two. So while walking around at the Coex Mall I saw a Quiznos that I normally might get a sub at. Longer line than usual, but I was hungry. While standing in line just on the outside of the Quiznos I heard what was apparently a crowd forming around me. Did not think too much about it, but I heard an Aussie Accent and as I am always willing to chat up people from other parts of the world I turned around Hugh Jackman was standing right behind me.
Me: MR JACKMAN! What are you doing here?
Hugh Jackman: Im here for the movie. (Wolverine Origins opening that night). Whats good here? (that's right Hugh Jackman asked me for advice on a sandwich)
Me: The Italian with red onions, blue cheese toasted with olives)
Hugh Jackman: Alright then, that sounds good.
Did not ask him for autograph nor a picture, I thought it would be in bad form. And I suppose I was also a bit Star Struck. I don’t even know if he got to eat anything The Crowd Kept Getting closer and I thought it best to give him space.
In all honesty I would doubt seriously the Mr. Jackman would remember me, He probably meets 20-30 people a day and they are left star struck, For him it is just a Wednesday getting a sandwich. For me it is meeting the perfect personification of a childhood hero that I had read about for more than 20 years at that point. Im also sure that asking someone for what is good to eat means nothing to most people but it meant the world to me.
