Hollywood superstar Hugh Jackman turned on the charm for staff at Melbourne Airport on Thursday.
The 56-year-old Wolverine actor flashed a big smile as he made his way to his flight bound to Sydney after attending the Boxing Day Test at the MCG last week.
Travelling solo, the hunky Australian-born movie legend cut a casual figure in an aqua polo shirt, purple slacks and matching slip on sneakers.
Sporting a light beard, Hugh was seen chatting with security staff as they checked his carry-on luggage, which consisted of a back pack.
He clutched his boarding pass while making his way through the terminal.
It comes after the fan favourite found himself on the receiving end of some sledging from comedian Ricky Gervais.

Hugh, who is currently Down Under for the Christmas holidays, took to social media last week to share a selfie of himself enjoying a dip in the pool.
In the photograph, Hugh flashed a huge grin as he propped himself up on the surface of the water and showed off his muscular, shirtless frame.
Though many adoring fans gushed over the smiling selfie, comedian Ricky, 63, took the opportunity to mock the star of stage and screen.
Ricky, who frequently goes viral online for his comedic shirtless bath selfies, took to X - formerly known as Twitter - to hilariously recreate Hugh's own photograph.
He shared one of his iconic selfies showing himself half-submerged in a bath in a sharp send-up of Hugh's share.
Captioning the image, Ricky suggested it may be a separated-at-birth situation, writing: 'Twinsies,' in an amusing one-word sledge.
Ricky's cheeky reply was met with a flurry of comments from fans, with one follower hilariously suggesting that the tongue-in-cheek posts could become a movie script.
'Hugh plays a fictionalised version of himself and you play his jealous brother who is also an actor,' the follower began.

'You refuse to work with him your entire career but then you get cast in a career defining play and the star backs out late in the production and the producer gets Hugh to fill in.
Wackiness ensues as you're forced to work together. It all culminates with an impromptu real scene of you and Hugh arguing on stage in character but really talking about your strained relationship and saying things you've both kept inside for decades. This is a winner.'
Another was equally excited about the prospect of the pairing, commenting: 'Two legends, one pool. ls this the start of a new superhero duo, Ricky?'
One summed up the sentiment of many by writing: 'Buahahaha my stomach hurts from laughing. This was too good! Thank you!'
Hugh was in Sydney with his children, Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19, for Christmas and has been catching up with several Aussie friends during his trip.
He has been spotted out-and-about spending time with his close friends including his personal trainer Michael Ryan, who he has known for 30 years, and Gina Chick.
Hugh's rumoured Broadway star girlfriend Sutton Foster has remained in the United States for Christmas.
Hugh was reportedly planning to introduce his rumoured new partner Sutton to his and Deborra-Lee Furness's children Oscar and Ava over the festive period.

However, Deb was allegedly 'not keen on the idea' with a source claiming that she did not want a 'blended' family Christmas.
'It's a delicate balancing act and he feels like if anyone is going to spend less time with the kids this year, it's him,' they added.
In September 2023, Hugh shocked fans when he filed for divorce from Deb after almost three decades of marriage.
'We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,' the couple said in a joint statement at the time.
'Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.'
Months later, rumours began to swirl that Hugh and Broadway star Sutton, 49, had grown close, with insiders telling PageSix that they are now 'in love'.
'They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,' an insider told the publication.
'They are still together. They go out of their way to hide it, but it's common knowledge.'
Another insider claimed Hugh and Sutton are determined to make their relationship work and are keeping things low-key at the moment.
Hugh and Sutton took on the roles of Harold Hill and Marian Paroo in The Music Man, which ran from February 2022 to January 2023 at the Winter Garden Theatre in Manhattan.
