Hugh Jackman is one of Australia's most famous acting exports, with blockbusters films such as The X-Men series and The Greatest Showman under his belt.
But on Monday, the 52-year-old revealed the surprising first movie he ever watched.
'The Wizard of Oz, in Terrigal,' he shared as he recalled annual family holidays to the beachside town on the New South Wales Central Coast as a child.

'We went to see the movie and all I remember from it was the monkey scene at the end,' the actor said of the film.
'I was so terrified that I hid in front at my father's feet behind, so I was hiding and crying through the thing and it absolutely, completely tortured me,' he admitted.
Hugh added that The Wicked Witch traumatised him so much that was left with nightmares from the movie, joking that he 'didn't sleep for five years' as a result.

Affected: The actor recalled the monkey scene from the 1939 film left him traumatised as a child. 'I was so terrified that I hid in front at my father's feet behind,' he said. 'I've probably still got PTSD from it,' he added
'It's a miracle I ever went back to be honest. I've probably still got PTSD from it,' he added.
It comes after Hugh recently showed off his competitive side with wife Deborra-Lee Furness at their New York home, in a short video shared to his Instagram.
The Sydney-born star hid behind a pole in their West Village penthouse after winning a game of Backgammon against a disappointed Deborra-Lee, 65.
