Hugh Jackman in training for the run-around!

A “tough New York police detective forced into bodyguard duty for a spoiled teen heiress who has received a kidnap threat.” That’s the description of the latest role to be undertaken by the sexiest man alive, Hugh Jackman.

Well, the description of the spoiled teen certainly stacks up as sounding believable and we’re sure Hugh can pull off the New York detective role, no problems, but the unbelievable part of all this is, why? Why would Jackman, at the top of his career, having had the blockbuster movies, Australia, Van Helsing, The Prestige and X-Men Origins: Wolverine added to his resume in the past few years, agree to appear with such a talentless little madam as Miss Cyrus?

Are there no other movie executives out there looking for a handsome, hunky, talented star like Hugh, who at least carries the title from People magazine of Sexiest Man Alive, to fill a more consuming role?

We all know Jackman can turn his hand to just about anything as was demonstrated in his stint on Broadway when he played the role of the gay singer/songwriter, Peter Allen, in The Boy From Oz, and more recently when he hosted this year’s Oscars which he made a resounding success, but a bodyguard to a spoiled teen????

If this concept is born out of the original, 1993 Bodyguard movie, which saw Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner locking lips after a tumultuous working relationship, it’s going to be far off the mark when Hannah Montana star, Cyrus, gives Hugh the run around New York city.

The reports come after Cyrus and Jackman were seen having lunch at Los Angeles hot spot Morton’s Steakhouse with movie executives and the result is expected to be a movie titled,  Personal Security. An eye witness told the Daily Express newspaper in the UK, ‘They had a few producer-type folks with them,. It looked like some sort of business dinner. I’m sure it wasn’t just Hugh angling for a guest role on ‘Hannah Montana’.
