HUGH JACKMAN PLAYS THE ROLE OF DOTING DAD AFTER HITTING A SNAG

It was a typical family day out for Hugh Jackman.

Joined by wife Deborra-Lee Furness, the 41-year-old actor was spotted spotted picking up their daughter Ava from school in New York City this afternoon (September 23).

Hugh could be seen carrying an orange Whole Foods bag and Ava’s scooter while lady love Deborra gave Ava a ride on her shoulders while trying to hail a taxi cab.

Meanwhile, a helicopter used in the filming of Hugh’s new movie Real Steel snagged a power line in Michigan over the weekend, causing a brief power outage and closing a roadway.

No injuries were reported after the Sunday evening incident in Huron County’s Sheridan Township, about 90 miles north of Detroit.

A section of a nearby road was closed for a short time.

The helicopter — which was equipped with a front-mounted camera — reportedly hooked the electrical wire, then seemed to have “directional control issues” before safely flying away.

Real Steel is a futuristic drama about robot boxing. The DreamWorks Studios’ film is scheduled for a 2011 release.
