Hugh Jackman, producer and star of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, began the U.S. promotions for the film on Tuesday by leaving his handprints and footprints in cement at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
"It's an honor I'll never forget," said Jackman, who was accompanied by his wife and two children. "Thank you all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
