Hugh Jackman: Bryan Singer’s Behavior on ‘X-Men’ Films ‘Would Not Happen Now’

In a new interview, Jackman acknowledged Singer’s alleged unprofessional on-set behavior, saying there was conduct on the set of the first “X-Men” movie that would not happen today, but he didn’t know how to stand up to it at the time on his first American production.

Speaking more broadly about the industry at large, “there’s way less tolerance for disrespectful, marginalizing, bullying, any oppressive behavior. There’s zero tolerance for it now and people will speak out, and I think that’s great.”

Jackman declined to say much more about Singer, when asked about how Singer’s misconduct allegations have impacted how he sees the films that made him famous.

“That’s a really, really complicated question. There’s a lot of things at stake there. ‘X-Men’ was the turning point, I believe, in terms of comic-book movies and I think there’s a lot to be proud of. And there’s certainly questions to be asked and I think they should be asked. But I guess I don’t know how to elegantly answer that. I think it’s complex and ultimately I look back with pride at what we’ve achieved and what momentum that started.”
