Jackman orders breakfast for film fans

HUGH JACKMAN rewarded hundreds of fans camping overnight to see him at the world premiere of X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE by surprising them all with breakfast.

Followers in Tempe, Arizona won the chance to host the red carpet extravaganza in their desert city after claiming the most votes in an online poll, which Jackman launched himself.

Throngs of Tempe residents proved their dedication when they lined up outside the Tempe Marketplace on Sunday (26Apr09) - a day before Jackman arrived for the premiere on a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

And the generous actor decided to treat the crowd - by personally placing a call to a local cafe and ordering a breakfast of coffee and pastries for 800 people.

Paradise Bakery's assistant manager Arianna Arroyo says, "We were so surprised and amazed by the gesture, and I was thinking what a big challenge it would be to get everything done over.

"They were thrilled and really excited because they didn't expect something like that. People had made posters, were screaming at the media and it was so awesome to see."

"There are a lot of people waiting to just see him and it's pretty amazing what is happening out there just for one man."
