Hugh Jackman<\/a> is embracing a new look in the first trailer for his upcoming film Song Sung Blue. Stepping back in time roughly three decades, the X-Men actor debuted some serious sideburns and long, shaggy waves in a full-blown transformation that rendered him essentially unrecognizable.\n<\/p>\n Jackman stars in the movie opposite Kate Hudson<\/a>. The veteran duo play real-life musicians Mike and Claire Sardina, who formed a Neil Diamond tribute band called Lightning & Thunder in 1989. Song Sung Blue is based on the 2008 documentary of the same name.<\/p>\n Hudson, for her part, marked the release of the first trailer with a celebratory Instagram post.\n<\/p>\n “At its core, this film is about love,” she wrote<\/a> in her caption. “About the dreams we chase, the chances we take, and the families who hold us together. It\u2019s about the music that gets us through. Opening Christmas Day! We can\u2019t wait to share it with you \ud83c\udfb6\u2764\ufe0f\ud83c\udfac.”\n<\/p>\n Kate Hudson at an Emmy FYC event for ‘Running Point’ in 2025.<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/p>\n Hugh Jackman at the premiere of ‘Caught Stealing’ in 2025.<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/p>\n Jackman most recently starred in Deadpool & Wolverine opposite Ryan Reynolds<\/a>.
