Its a perfect place to premiere, agreed Jackman, who plays Edwards coach in the film.

To be in this sort of environment, where there are jumps and people hanging out in the snow.

Add some mulled wine and some fire pits and it would be perfect.

According to Jackman, he was also well-known in the actors home country.

He was a bit of a folk hero in Australia, explained theX-Menstar.

He totally embodies that Aussie sense of Just have a go.

But even I had no idea how much there was to it and what was at stake for him.

The real Eddie had this great way of masking the real-life danger with this almost clownish, comical exterior.

Really, its a very inspirational, uplifting kind of story.

You realize hes an everyman whos just dreaming big.

Eddie the Eagleis released Feb. 26. you might see the films trailer above.
