Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Aug 28, 2015 4:04 PM UTC  by [Olivia B. Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Aug 28, 2015 4:04 PM UTC In a special visit organized by the Make-a-Wish Foundation, a nine-year-old Australian boy with cystic fibrosis named Dominic got to visit the [KISS 1065 radio studio](http://www.kiis1065.com.au/shows/kyle-jackie-o/hugh-jackmans-wolverine-surprise-for-young-aussie-fan), call up his idol, _Wolverine_ star Hugh Jackman, and ask him what his favorite Wolverine pose is. He never expected the actor to show up and do it for him in person, which is exactly what Jackman did. The Australian actor gave the youngster a big hug and then asked the little one to do _his_ best _Wolverine_ impression. And in a span of about two minutes, the fictional superhero did not seem so fictional anymore. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4014780/hugh-jackman-wolverine-boy-kiss1065-radio-pose-makeawish/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4014780/hugh-jackman-wolverine-boy-kiss1065-radio-pose-makeawish/"},"headline":"Hugh Jackman Knew Exactly How to Surprise a Sick Young Fan","datePublished":"2015-08-28T16:04:22.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:23:59.217Z","description":"Heart-warming!","url":"https://time.com/4014780/hugh-jackman-wolverine-boy-kiss1065-radio-pose-makeawish/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
