It seems that Hugh Jackman wants to change what people thinks it meas to be a man. On screen he’s the tough guy but off screen he’s king of the metrosexuals, and now he wants us to find a love of cosmetics.
The X-Men Origins: Wolverine actor is attached to star in Avon Man, about a man who is laid off from an car dealership but is reluctantly recruited into becoming an Avon salesman. While he initially finds the experience emascualting, the uses his charm to become a top seller, before recruiting his out of work buddied into the business in order to win a regional contest.
20th Century Fox has bought the pitch by Kevin Bisch, with plans to turn it into a star vehicle for Jackman. At the moment there’s no director attached and no timeframe for when it might go intro production, although we can imagine that there are many women out there who rather like the idea of Jackman coming to their door in order to try and sell them cosmetics.
