What Are 'Scratchy Fridays'? The Sweet Way Hugh Jackman Shows Love On Movie Sets Like Deadpool And Wolverine For The Cast And Crew

Hugh Jackman in his yellow Wolverine suit for Deadpool 3.

Hugh Jackman has earned a reputation for not only being one of the most hardworking actors in show business but for also being one of the kindest. With that, Jackman’s sheer generosity manifests itself in various ways whenever he’s working on a set. The A-lister’s kindness is particularly evident through one of his long-held traditions – “Scratchy Fridays.” At first glance, fans may think this event is related to the X-Men character Jackman’s long played and, while it happened on the Deadpool & Wolverine set, too, there’s more to this.

Actors tend to pick up some interesting habits whenever they’re working on sets – some of which can be good and some not-so-positive for those around said star. However, I definitely wouldn’t mind being on set with Hugh Jackman during a Scratchy Friday. That’s because, on those days, Jackman buys scratch-off lottery tickets for the entire cast and crew. On the surface, such a habit may seem a bit random but, to me, it's incredibly sweet.
