Australian-born Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman, 41, is expected to play a key role in promoting the charm of Seoul. The Seoul Metropolitan Government said Thursday that it will appoint Hugh Jackman as a goodwill ambassador. The Hollywood star is a world-renowned actor known for his appearances in the "X-Men" series and "The Boy from OZ."
Korean-American actor Daniel Henney, 30, who co-starred in the movie "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," has been serving as a goodwill ambassador for Seoul since the end of last year and recently suggested Jackman join him. The Australian actor willingly accepted, saying, "I will do my best to show people how beautiful Seoul is."

When Jackman visited Korea in 2006 to promote "X-Men: The Last Stand," he expressed affection for Korea, saying "I have heard a lot about Korea from my father, who has frequently visited this country on business."
Daniel Henney will also attend the appointment ceremony where Jackman will donate signed copies of "X-Men" series DVDs and personal items.
