Actor Hugh Jackman will be honored with the Golden Icon Award of this year’s Zurich Film Festival. In addition to receiving ZFF’s Golden Icon Award, Jackman will present his latest movie, the intense thriller PRISONERS, directed by Denis Villeneuve and co-starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
The festival describes Jackman as an Academy Award nominated, Golden Globe and Tony Award winning actor, who from his award-winning turn on Broadway as the 1970’s singer / songwriter Peter Allen, to his metal claw-wielding Wolverine in the lucrative X-Men franchise, Jackman has proven to be one of the most versatile actors of our time.
