Just when you thought Hugh Jackman couldn’t get any more perfect, the muscle-bound hunk has donated $10,000 to help sick kids.

Hugh, 44, gave the sizeable sum to the Montreal Children’s Hospital after spending the past three months in the Canadian city filming the latest instalment of his X-Men film franchise.

Ever the humble gentleman, Hugh initially tried to keep his donation anonymous by asking wife Deborra-Lee Furness to do it online, but was forced to call the hospital after a website error.

“Deborra-Lee had tried to make the donation via her computer but the confirmation she got said that she had given $10 so she called us up,” hospital spokesperson Kim Fraser told the Montreal Gazette.

“She wanted to make the donation on behalf of her, her husband, and the cast and crew of X-Men.”

Hugh and Deborra-Lee raise two children together, Oscar and Ava.
