Australian actor Hugh Jackman revealed on Thursday that he was so anxious to play the father in a film called "The Son" that he sent an email to the director-writer Florian Zeller asking for the part.
Stars like Jackman, who featured in the "X-Men" series, normally get bombarded with requests to take on new roles, but he said he felt he had to take the initiative when he read the script of Zeller's "The Son", which was originally a stage play.
