See him rescue his kids while on Vacation in Australia

According to CNN, Hugh Jackman and his family were swimming at Bondi Beach in Sydney on Saturday, when his 15-year-old son Oscar and 10-year-old daughter Ava got caught in a riptide.  He had to jump in the water and pull them to safety.

A few other people helped him, and then Hugh motioned to other people to come in out of the water because the conditions were getting dangerous.  It was so bad that the beach had to be closed down.

Local news crews interviewed some witnesses, but Hugh was still too rattled to talk.  But his rep says, quote, "Hugh and his family are 100 percent fine.  It looks a lot more dramatic than it was."
