Legendary Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman shared a funny story with Jimmy Kimmel on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (it was an April Fools joke). The Australian LOGAN star revealed that he used his X-MEN (2000) casting to get through customs as he was traveling between Los Angeles and Toronto.

“He was a mad ‘X-Men’ fan, and that’s the only reason I ended up getting the part,” he joked about the “nerdy” agent who who cleared him after he signed autographs.
