From: Celeb9.com

Hugh Jackman sank his hand and foot prints into cement outside the famous Grauman’s Chinese Theater on Tuesday to immortalized his name in Hollywood history. Jackman, who was titled as the “Sexiest Man Alive” by the People’s Magazine, stars in the upcoming “X-Men Origins: Wolverine“.

Located at Hollywood Boulevard, Grauman’s Chinese Theater is one of the most popular tourist attractions of the city. For the past 82 years several Hollywood legends like Cary Grant and Judy Garland have been feted by stamping their own signed hand and foot prints into the theater’s courtyard.

Jackman, who visited the Theater earlier with his wife, has been quoted as saying that this was the first Hollywood landmark he visited in Los Angeles. Before sinking his hands in the cement Jackman put his hands into the prints of late comedian Peter Sellers.

Addressing to the crowd gathered at the ceremony Jackman said, “Here we are, 12 years later. It’s a very humbling moment as an actor to be here. You look down at the names, from Fred Astaire to Cary Grant, Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Steve McQueen, John Wayne, and to think that those people have been immortalized and pretty soon I’ll be putting my hands in wet cement”. And then the actor planted his palms into the cement.

Jackman’s upcoming film “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” debuts in two weeks from now.
