Hugh Jackman surprised a group of Wisconsin choir students at Milwaukee High School of the Arts this week, and the special meeting was all caught on camera.
In a video of the moment, the high schoolers cheer as Jackman greets them warmly with high fives.
"You guys inspire me so much," Jackman told the students, according to Milwaukee Public Schools. "I was a kid like you. When I was at school, when I was your age, all I did, my whole time, was doing arts -- doing plays, doing musicals, playing music, playing piano, singing. I just love that you guys are here following your dreams, following your passions."
The choir students also had the opportunity to serenade the actor with their rendition of "From Now On" from his 2017 musical movie "The Greatest Showman."
Jackman was in Milwaukee to promote his new movie "Song Sung Blue," in which he co-stars with Kate Hudson. "Song Sung Blue" features the story of a real-life Milwaukee couple who start a Neil Diamond tribute band called Lightning & Thunder.
In addition to Jackman's visit, Milwaukee Public Schools said Focus Features, the studio behind "Song Sung Blue," donated $10,000 for musical instruments and $5,000 for production equipment to benefit students at Milwaukee High School of the Arts.
"Song Sung Blue" opens in theaters Dec. 25.
