Johnny Depp speaks out on 'Pirates' franchise

Johnny Depp opens up to the Hollywood Reporter on his hands-on role behind the scenes of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise ("On Stranger Tides" hits theaters May 20) and why he admires the principles of the plunderers.

Q: It's been four years since the third "Pirates." What happened?

A: Had I had a little more control at the wheel early on, I would have spaced them out more. One of the reasons "On Stranger Tides" took this amount of time was to really focus on what we could do to make it interesting and new and fresh and not just rehash the same old jokes.

Q: Was it right to shoot the previous two back-to-back?

A: The second and third parts were tacked on, in a way. It wasn't initially written as a trilogy, so the writers had to find the mathematics to connect all three — and in doing that, there were subplots and sub-subplots, and it got confusing and a bit complicated. I said, "Look, let's make it very simple and to the point."

Q: Is that why you worked so closely with the writers? And when did you all start?

A: I was doing "Public Enemies" at the time we had our initial talk. And then we would sit down and go: "What do you think of this? What do you think of that?" And I'd throw my two cents in. I can't help myself! Just in terms of the character, there are bits and bobs that come as you are going through the story meetings, or as late as when the camera's about to roll.

Q: Did you continue researching real-life pirates?

A: I'm always doing research. It's a lifelong fascination. In a weird way, pirates had an ethic that was infinitely more agreeable than [that of] the government and the British military. For example, when you became a pirate, even if you were just press-ganged and chucked on ship, there were equal shares; you got a certain amount of rations of rum each day. In the British military, they could be awful: "You'll do this, and you won't like it, and it'll be tough."

Q: Speaking of tough, what was the toughest part of the shoot?

A: I had a little bit of a physical ailment. I must have done something to my back during a stunt and ended up with this bad sciatic situation. It was this horrible, grinding electricity going through me. I kept shooting; there was no choice. I'd just limp on set. It was monstrous, man — so horrible that I actually started to like it! It was bad, and I had it a good three weeks to a month. But I got used to it and kind of missed it when it was gone.

Q: Would that make you think twice about a fifth "Pirates?" A script is in the works.

A: I've seen nothing yet. It boils down to story, script and filmmaker. But it's not something where I would say, "Let's shoot it next month to get it out by Christmas 2012." We should hold off for a bit. They should be special, just like they're special to me.

Robert Pattinson: "I wanna get a tan"

Robert Pattinson has acknowledged the huge impact that The Twilight Saga has had on his career.

The actor, who is currently starring opposite Reese Witherspoon in Water for Elephants, recently revealed that he prefers promoting the period drama over his appearances for the vampire franchise.

However, Pattinson told The Mirror that, while he will be glad when filming for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 ends, he is very aware of the positive effect the movies have had on his career.

"I owe these films ­everything and it has been amazing," Pattinson explained. "But it will also be good to say goodbye.

"I wanna get a tan, show people there is more to me than Edward the vampire... Pale skin and red eyes is not a good look for me!" he joked.

The 24-year-old actor also said that he and co-star Kristen Stewart had faced "the most emotional ride" when filming Breaking Dawn - Part 1.

"We get married in the film, have a baby. The birth scenes were pretty traumatic," he admitted.

Pattinson has previously teased that the upcoming instalment of The Twilight Saga - which is scheduled for a November 18 release - is "a horror movie".

Movie Review: Attack The Block

Attack The Block, or Attack Da Block, Yo, Innit, if we want to go for the full street effect, is a riotous blast of sci-fi with a quintessential British sense of humour. That doesn't mean its laugh-out-loud every step of the way, no, its comedy lies in the premise as much as offering visual gags and one-liners.

Despite the cast mixing up American and British slang (they our British bobbies 'Feds', for example) and dealing with outer space beasties, this is a very British affair. Forget Richard Curtis' smug Oxbridge rom-coms with their calculated international appeal and picture-postcard London.

Director Joe Cornish offers a more convincing portrayal of modern city and its inhabitants. It isn't some Broken Britain rant or a Ken Loach movie with aliens. Although that would be interesting to see. Instead it's a half-believable portrayal of kids lives on a council estate in south London. Basically they smoke weed, mug strangers and talk shit. Then some aliens turn up.

Moses, Pest, Jerome and the gang are little thugs who in the opening scene mug a young nurse walking home at night after work. The opener is highly convincing and even scary. It's depressingly accurate. The movie's origin lies in Cornish's own mugging six years ago. Instead of 'taking out the scum' and making Harry Brown, he made a fun sci-fi comedy where 'inner city meets outer space'.

Cornish plays a very neat trick as his central characters, at first, are very unlikeable. He coaxes out sympathy and understanding as the story goes on. It might not be totally convincing, but at least he tries to offer an emotional arc. Once the alien lands and the kids, naturally, kick the shit out of it and parade it around their estate like a trophy, the shit hits the fan and they learn - very quickly - that their actions have consequences.

In some ways Attack The Block is reminiscent of last year's French zombie actioner The Horde. The high rise council block is the locale for a fantasy event where different types of people come together in an uneasy alliance. When all hell breaks loose the young lads and gals stand up to the terror and slowly but surely open up as human beings. Moses has a troubled background and looks older than he actually is. Pest gets most of the film's big laughs whether he's trying to chat up the nurse they've come to rely on after mugging, or admitting the whole scenario is scary but "sick" at the same time.

Cornish's debut is an assured film and lots of fun. The street lingo is spot on and often bemusing. It also looks fantastic - and most importantly - cinematic. One scene involving aliens, a smoke-filled corridor and the gang is genuinely creepy. It stops being a comedy for a moment and enters the horror world. Amazingly, Cornish isn't above killing off the odd kid, either. This is a comedy, sure, but it's not Monster Squad or Goonie larks.

Hollywood Actor Shia LaBeouf Has a New Girlfriend

Hollywood Actor Shia Labeouf's new girlfriend has been revealed as stylist Karolyn Pho - the pair has gone public by kissing and cuddling openly during a day out in California.

The Transformers star split from British actress and his Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps co-star Carey Mulligan last year, and she has since moved on to reportedly date folk rocker Marcus Mumford.

In December, LaBeouf also sparked speculation he had found love again when he was photographed dining with a mystery brunette and appeared to be holding hands with her over breakfast.

Now the actor's new love has been unmasked as stylist Pho - and the pair shared a passionate kiss in front of cameras during a day out in Studio City on Tuesday.

The couple was then seen walking hand-in-hand before sharing an intimate lunch.

Daniel Radcliffe & Robert Pattinson Top Money List Of British Stars Under 30

 Edward Cullen in the three Twilight films - is the second richest UK film star under 30, with a total fortune of $50,000,000.  Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe at only 21 comes in first , 21, tops the list with $70,000,000 including earnings of $10 million last year.  Robert Pattinson is reportedly set to net 2.5 per cent of the next two Twilights’ takings and that could help move him to number 1.

The Sunday Times list puts Keira Knightly in third with $48 million.   Keira Chaplin – grand-daughter of Charlie Chaplin – is fourth with $45 million, and Potter stars Rubert Grint and Emma Watson are tied for fifth with $37million.

Whatever the standings are now, the trajectory of Robert Pattinson’s earnings outstrip the others – his popularity as a leading man means that he is likely to earn more than all of his young British competition in the future.

Meanwhile, just for some perspective – J.K. Rowling’s wealth is estimated at over 1 billion dollars!

Hollywood Actor Keanu Reeves wanted for Warner Bros. Akira

Warner Bros. are reportedly set to move ahead with their planned live action version of the beloved anime Akira and are talking to Keanu Reeves about playing Kaneda.

In the classic anime, Kaneda is the motorbike gang leader who tries to help his friend when Tetsuo becomes part of a dangerous experiment that threatens Neo-Tokyo.

However, the road to getting the film made has been a long and arduous affair with multiple drafts and more than one big name including James Franco, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Robert Pattinson have had their names in the hat for playing one of the two lead roles.

It remains to be seen whether this is a good idea no matter who appears in it after the abysmal Dragonball and other attempts at bring iconic animus to life on the big screen, but at least Reeves has a little experience in big action epics.

As for Reeves, he was last seen in Malcolm Venville's comedy Henry's Crime alongside Hollywood great James Caan and Source Code's Vera Farmiga.

Hollywood Actor Will Smith is frontrunner for Tarantino's next film

Will Smith has emerged as the frontrunner to star in Quentin Tarantino's next film, a spaghetti Western about a slave in the Old South who teams with a German bounty hunter to search for his wife.

Tarantino stalwarts Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz also are circling key parts.

"Django Unchained," Tarantino's follow up to his worldwide blockbuster Inglourious Basterds, will be distributed domestically by the Weinstein Co. but Tarantino is in the process of selecting a studio partner to release the film internationally. Sources say he is meeting with Universal executives today, and similar meetings with Sony, Paramount, Warner Bros. and possibly others have been scheduled.

Sources prepped for those meetings say Tarantino would like Smith to star in the film, the script for which has been making the rounds in recent days to wide acclaim. No official offer has been made to Smith, and any deal would of course be subject to working out financials, which might be difficult given Smith's status as one of Hollywood's few sure-thing stars.

Indeed, although Smith has been out of multiplexes since 2008's "Seven Pounds," he is still considered among the top two or three box office draws worldwide.

Smith is being teed-up for the title role of Django, a freed slave who seeks to reunite with his slave wife, a journey which will see him team up with a German bounty hunter to take down an evil plantation owner.

Tarantino wrote the bounty hunter part with Waltz in mind, according to insiders. The German ends up training Django and helping him seek his wife.

Jackson would play the house slave to the bad guy, Monsieur Calvin Candie. The slave is an expert manipulator and will face off with Django.

Smith and his representatives have received the screenplay, which could be a hot potato due to the themes of racism and the liberal use of the N-word. It's unclear whether Smith has read the script yet. The actor manages his image very carefully but the part is heroic and could be iconic. And let's not forget that Denzel Washington won his two Oscars playing characters who used the N-word.

Tarantino is aiming for a fall shoot in the South, possibly in Louisiana, but the exact locale has not been determined.

Hollywood Couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ‘Plan French wedding’

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly planning to get married at their newly-renovated French chateau.

The Hollywood superstars raise six children together and have been dating since 2005. Speculation about when they will tie the knot has been rife throughout their relationship and it has now been reported they will wed during the grape harvest later this year.

The couple are currently overseeing extensive work on their $60 million 35-bedroom Miraval estate in the South of France and are keen to complete soon so they can hold the nuptials there.

"The couple have been working on the property for a while now because they want to be able to host most of their wedding guests in the house and the home needed to be modernised,” a source told X17 Online.

“But all the locals are talking about how these two will be hosting their wedding here in France, at their chateau, in the fall."

The 16th century chateau boasts its own private chapel and Brad - who has a keen interest in architecture – wants to restore it with a view to making their marriage vows there.

The plans have been approved by the local government, but they are facing trouble over their use of helicopters.

The couple have been accused of using their extensive gardens as a helipad, but Brad, 47, and 35-year-old Angelina are keen to protect their privacy and believed landing inside their 880-acre estate is the only way to avoid the public spotlight.

"They want to land their helicopter on the property because this area is difficult to get to,” the source added.

“The home is on the top of a mountain and we are basically in the middle of the countryside here. People like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie don't have the time to drive here - they want to move quickly. But local government officials aren't happy with where they are currently landing their helicopter. It is in the middle of the protected gardens and the owners have been told they need to find a new landing pad."

Hollywood Movie Thor opens “Superhero Season”

"Thor", the first of several superheroes debuting on movie screens this summer, hits US theaters with out-sized hopes resting on the Norse deity's expansive shoulders. 

Hollywood is praying that the God of Thunder and Marvel Comics staple will electrify a dismal 2011 box office, and squeeze more life out of a superhero genre that - with some of the most iconic characters already established franchises - is beginning to look tired.

"Thor" might seem an unlikely candidate to resuscitate the North American box office. The founding member of the original Avengers vanquishes his foes with a magical war hammer and the ability to call down thunder and lightning.

But with most of the marquee Marvel and DC Comics pantheon already committed to film, Hollywood is reaching ever deeper into the barrel to fish out new action hero franchises.

The challenge for classically-trained British film director Kenneth Branagh - more usually associated with Shakespeare - was to make sure his first venture into the world of the 3D action genre stood above the fray.

"It flips the usual superhero story. It isn't the ordinary man who's bitten by a spider and acquires supernatural powers," Branagh told.

"Here we have a superhero with those powers - a God indeed - who has to lose everything and engage with our audience," he said.

From the looks of things, "Thor" commands an edge in avoiding me-too status. It boasts Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins, and fellow Oscar winner and fanboy favorite Natalie Portman.

It's also among the first out the gate, beating "Green Lantern", an X-Men prequel and "Captain America" to the punch, and is one of the few originals in a summer movie season packed with sequels like "Fast Five" and "Hangover 2".

"As Marvel said to me when I joined up: 'this is our most difficult property'. There's so many ways for this to go wrong: too kitschy, too campy, too broad comedy, too sci-fi," said Branagh, adding that he relished the challenge of doing a movie so completely out of his comfort zone.

Jason Statham can't keep his hands off gorgeous girlfriend Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

She's the stunning Victoria's Secret model who has forayed into acting with her role in Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

And in addition to that, she has just topped Maxim magazine's annual hot 100 list.

So it's no wonder Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's boyfriend Jason Statham couldn't resist pulling the 24-year-old beauty in for a kiss at the Met Gala afterparty held at New York's Standard Hotel.

With his eyes closed and hand firmly placed on Rosie's back, Statham appeared to be thoroughly enjoying his passionate embrace.

Rosie had earlier wowed as she posed on the red carpet in a daring pink Burberry Prorsum gown which was slashed both at the front and at the back.

She teamed the dress with a pair of white strappy sandals, a matching bag and pretty dangly earrings.

Earlier in the day Rosie had looked a lot more casual, however, as she enjoyed a day out shopping with Jason.

Wearing a pretty printed floral dress, brown boots and matching hat, Rosie succeeded in looking trendy and summery in her outfit.

Rosie and Jason, 43, have been dating for a year and both ditched Britain to live together in Los Angeles.

The model’s move to LA came as she nabbed a role in the upcoming new installment in the Transformers film franchise and her acting career seems to be moving from strength to strength.

Earlier this month Rosie won a gong for Female Star of Tomorrow at the CinemaCon Awards for her debut film role.

But, speaking recently about starring alongside leading man Shia LaBeouf, Rosie admitted she felt incredibly insecure about the pair's kissing scene.

She said: '‘I had to wear heels the whole way through filming. When it came to our kissing scene, I said [to director Michael Bay], ‘Please let me take my shoes off! I feel so unelegant and I feel so unfeminine’.

‘He said no, "You’re giving small men across America hope!" '

Rosie added: 'It was great working with Shia. He’s such an intelligent guy. He’s worked so hard on these movies. He really held my hand like a baby the whole way through.’

'The Hangover 2' Release Threatened Over Tattoo Accusation

"The Hangover Part II" faces a problem less than a month before it hits theaters. S. Victor Whitmill, a tattoo artist who gave Mike Tyson his distinctive facial art, is suing Warner Bros. Pictures over the similar-looking facial ink on Ed Helms' face, and asking for an injunction to stop the movie's release.

A complaint has been filed on Thursday, April 28 in federal court in St. Louis. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the statement read, "When Mr. Whitmill created the Original Tattoo, Mr Tyson agreed that Mr. Whitmill would own the artwork and thus, the copyright in the Original Tattoo."

"Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. - without attempting to contact Mr. Whitmill, obtain his permission, or credit his creation - has copied Mr. Whitmill's Original Tattoo and placed it on the face of another actor...," the statement continued. "This unauthorized exploitation of the Original Tattoo constitutes copyright infringement."

Also being attached to the lawsuit was Whitmill's copyright registration for the "Original Tattoo", and Tyson's signature as a proof that the ex-champ granted rights in the work. In addition the document, some pictures of Whitmill applying the design on Tyson's face were included.

In trailers and posters for the second installment of the comedy, Helms sports a body art while enduring the hilarious situation in Bangkok. Helm's tattoo looks like Tyson's, and was also chiseled on the same spot as Tyson's. Tyson himself made an appearance in "The Hangover" as himself, chasing the main characters after they stole his tiger.

On another "The Hangover 2" news, Ken Jeong has recently posted on his Twitter page a new poster for the movie. The actor wrote, "Latest poster for The Hangover Part II...." , before attaching the new picture.

"The Hangover 2" is scheduled for May 26 release across the nation during Memorial Day weekend. The gang from the first film are in Bangkok to celebrate Stu's wedding when they discover themselves in another state of black-out.

Also reprising their roles as Helms' buddies are Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Justin Bartha. Jamie Chung, Nick Cassavetes and Juliette Lewis are among actors supporting the movie. Todd Phillips returns to serve behind the lens.

The Hangover Part-II New Trailer

Film Review: `Thor`, Hollywood extravaganza at its shiniest best

It will go down in history as the most elaborately planned movie franchisee, spanning years and different movies (including sequels) and multiple characters with individual films. And despite knowing that such an extravaganza can be possible only from the marriage of one between Marvel and Hollywood, you continue to marvel at it. The latest marvelous addition to this collection is "Thor".

Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the son of Odin (Anthony Hopkins) a god, grows up to be a warrior too arrogant of his strength to maintain a fragile peace in the kingdom. Seeing his arrogance Odin takes his power and casts him to earth so he can learn to be humble.

Devoid of his power and unable to even move his weapon, a hammer forged from a dying star, he, with the help of a kind scientist Jane (Natalie Portman) learns the value of life and a humility and in the end is ready to sacrifice himself to save his friends.

"Thor" was a dangerous gamble for Marvel. He is not one of the popular characters among the avengers. To dedicate and entire movie, some would have said, was foolhardy. But the film "Thor" amply illustrates that if the will is right, creativity can indeed be brought to be a good slave.

"Thor" is Hollywood extravaganza at its best. It is expected of a film of this magnitude to have good effects. However, the film understands that the effects have to serve the story and not mask a nonexistent one. To bring out human elements in a story about gods, takes skill.

Also the costumes, set design and magical elements are put up in such a way as to make the clan of gods look like and advanced alien race rather than a magical race of gods. That gives the story a science fiction angle, like the other films in the Avengers` series, "Iron Man" and "Hulk", and the upcoming "Captain America", instead of a mythical, magical dimension that would not have fit in with the others.

Chris Hemsworth has gained more than few pounds for his role as Thor. From his impish arrogance of "Star Trek" to the magnificent arrogance of a god, he has come a long way both as an actor and as a star.

The film would delight fans of Avengers and Marvel comics with its hidden references. So we see the agent Coulson from SHIELD we first encountered in "Iron Man"; Samuel L. Jackson makes a unaccredited appearance after the end credits; and there`s reference to Tony Stark, Jeremy Rainer in a small cameo is set up to be "Hawk Eye" in the "Avengers" and Loki is set up to the arch-enemy for the "Avengers".

The Marvel master, Stan Lee too makes an appearance in a funny cameo. Fans should sit through the last credits, for a minute extra that has become an USP of this series.

"Thor" makes a good metaphor against vanity. One should not be too proud to be strong and that wisdom is worth aspiring for. Hope Marvel would have the wisdom to continue with good cinema in the next "Captain America" and "Avengers" offerings.

Hollywood actor Jude Law in Austria for '360' film shoot

Hollywood actor Jude Law is among the stars of "360" -- a new movie based in the Austrian capital in which the British heartthrob plays a man whose marriage has hit a lull.

The film is directed by Fernando Meirelles and inspired by Arthur Schnitzler's play "Reigen," or "La Ronde."

While storyline specifics are being kept under wraps, screenwriter Peter Morgan told reporters Tuesday that the plot encompasses a "chain reaction of events" that start when Law's character, an Englishman in Vienna on business, is stopped from seeing a prostitute. "The one rule I gave myself was that it should start and end with a prostitute in Vienna," he said. "Vienna is the soul of the film."

Some of the cast, including Law and German actor Moritz Bleibtreu, are currently in the city for on-location shoots.

Law, looking tanned and relaxed, described the script as "really interesting, diverse and challenging" and said he was excited by the project because he is a big fan of Meirelles.

Meirelles, probably best known for "City of God" and "The Constant Gardener" also had his share of praise for Law, calling him "fantastic."

"He's not just good looking, he's a really, really solid actor," he said.

The movie also stars Anthony Hopkins and Rachel Weisz and will feature eight different languages.

Arnold Schwarzenegger to play ‘The Terminator 5’ again: "I'll be back"

It has emerged that Arnold Schwarzenegger will return to his iconic role as ‘The Terminator’ in a new film.

The Hollywood star and former politician plans to make a comeback to the big screen by starring in a sequel to the four-part action movie.

After nearly 30 years since the original James Cameron flick, the former California governor has promised his fans that he would return with as much violent action as ever.

"I can step very comfortably into the entertainment world and do an action movie with the same violence that I've always done," , the Courier Mail quoted him as telling the LA Times.

The film, at this stage being referred to as Terminator 5, is in a very early pre-production stage but is apparently to be directed by Fast 5 director, Justin Lin.

Hollywood Actor Bruce Willis loses $310,000 on property in New York, USA

Hollywood A-Lister Bruce Willis, the Die Hard star, has sold his 20th floor apartment at Trump Place in New York at a US$310,000 loss.

According to news reports, Hollywood A-Lister Bruce Willis has sold his property at Trump Place, New York, making a US$310,000 loss in the process.

The star of the 20th Century Fox series of Die Hard movies bought the apartment in 2007 for a reported US$4.26 million but apparently he was so keen to sell the apartment he accepted an offer of just US$3.95 million.

The 2,318 square foot property is located on the twentieth floor of Trump Place and has three bedrooms and three bathrooms with views of New York’s Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge.

The sale appears to be setting a trend for Willis as, in September 2010, he accepted an offer of US$6 million for his nightclub The Mint in Hailey, Idaho, which he bought with his former wife Demi Moore in 1990. The night club had ceased trading a year earlier, although Demi still owns the recently remodelled Old Drug Store Building just across the street.

After his first child Rumer was born Willis decided to ditch the Hollywood lifestyle and go in search of a place where his family could lead a normal life.

After an unsuccessful few years trying to settle in Ketchum, Idaho, he eventually found the town of Hailey where he bought the 18,000 acre Flying Heart Ranch for US$7 million, just outside the town.

In fact, Willis has been buying property in Hailey for the past twenty years and once said it was like “living in the 1950s”. He hoped his efforts would bring prosperity to the small town.

And, even though the Armageddon star has been pruning his property portfolio he does still own plenty of properties which he can fall back on, such as; a home in Malibu, California; a ranch in Montana; a beach house in Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos Islands; and the Liberty Theatre in Hailey, Idaho.

Willis is also a co-founder of the Planet Hollywood restaurant chain, along with fellow actors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.

Timepiece enthusiasts may be able to spot a Quemex Sport digital watch in Larry Crowne, as the device is worn by Tom Hanks throughout

Legendary Hollywood star Tom Hanks will be sporting a Quemex Sport timepiece in one of his upcoming films, fashion watch fans may be interested to hear.

The US actor, director, producer and writer will be sporting a vintage digital watch from the Chinese brand in his new movie Larry Crowne.

Hugh Jackman urges UK to live off £1 a day

Hugh Jackman is challenging people in the UK to live off £1 a day for five days.

Hollywood actor, Jackman’s pledge comes as he fronts a charity campaign urging as many people as possible to take up the challenge to raise awareness of the 1.4 billion people living in extreme poverty globally.

Consider the price of a coffee these days and living on just £1 sounds like a stretch, but he believes it will get people thinking, and talking about it, which is the objective.

"I've been to Ethiopia and Cambodia, I've seen first-hand the difficulties people have but also how empowering it is when people get out of poverty," he said.

“I went to Cambodia and was shown some micro-financing projects. I’ll never forget seeing a group of women getting their first loan of £300 to start their own textile business. A woman had tears running down her face because it represented a chance for her to get out of a cycle of poverty

that had affected her family for generations. It’s a lack of opportunity, not a lack of hard work.”

The campaign Live Below The Line, run by the Global Poverty Project, runs from May 2 to May 6.

Despite critics questioning whether the campaign will have any noticeable affect, Jackman is convinced it will raise awareness among governments and individuals.

He said: "There are three major pillars for change, aid - protecting foreign aid at government level, trade and battling corruption.”

He added: “I believe in investing in foreign aid morally but, even from a practical standpoint, we’re (Western and third-world countries) are interlinked in so many ways – trade, health and the environment.”

Jackman is aware of the cynics. Who is he, a wealthy celebrity, to be challenging people to live on the breadline?

He said: "Being in movies I have things given to me, clothes and luxuries.

"I'm fully aware that I live in this weird sort of bubble that is not realistic and I struggle with that question everyday.

“But I’m not coming at this as a celebrity. I’m coming at it as a 42-year-old man who met this team and just wanted to get on board. They’re not asking for money, they’re asking people to activated and do something.”

But the actor argues you cannot point the finger at the rich and famous without examining your own lifestyle first and that in comparison to the developed world, most people in the UK, America and Australia have "unbelievable luxuries".

He believes most celebrities support charities for the right reasons, not because it is fashionable.

"Everyone wants to do something. I've worked with actors let's say Travolta, Halle Berry, Meg Ryan you have no idea of the generosity of these people what they give.

"Look at Paul Newman he's given away £100m in this incredible company.

"There's a lot of philanthropy – some behind the scenes, some like people to know about it. To each their own."
