Hugh Jackman was born on October 12, 1968, making him 54 years old in February 2023. He was born in Sydney, New South Wales, to Christopher John Jackman, a Cambridge-educated accountant, and Grace McNeil. His English-speaking parents had immigrated to Australia in 1967 under the "Ten Pound Poms" program.

As a result of his parents being born in the UK, Hugh also holds British citizenship in addition to his Australian citizenship. Nicholas Isidor Bellas, one of his paternal great-grandfathers, was a Greek immigrant to the Ottoman Empire (now in Greece). After being converted by evangelist Billy Graham after their marriage, his parents became devoted Christians.

Jackman was the second of his parents' five children to be born in Australia, and he has four other siblings. Due to his mother's subsequent marriage, he also has a younger half-sister. When his parents divorced, he was eight years old. Jackman moved back to England with his mother and two sisters.

Jackman enjoyed being outside as a child and frequently visited beaches, went on camping trips, and took advantage of school breaks to travel all over Australia. He stated that he wanted to travel the world: "I used to spend nights looking at atlases. I decided I wanted to be a chef on a plane. Because I'd been on a plane and there was food on board, I presumed there was a chef. I thought that would be an ideal job."
