Tuesday, 09 Sep, 2015 0

Qantas is bringing a touch of Hollywood glamour to its latest global marketing campaign with the help of Aussie actor Hugh Jackman.

Sydney born Jackman, star of the ‘X-Men’ franchise, ‘The Prestige,’ ‘Les Miserables’ and Broadway musical ‘The Boy from Oz,’ becomes the carrier’s official global ambassador.

Jackman will work with Qantas on community projects throughout Australia, with more details announced soon.

"The Qantas projects I will be getting involved with will create opportunities for Australians to learn, to work and to reach their potential. I will also be working directly with Qantas employees to build on the fantastic community work they already do and I can’t wait to get started later this year," the actor said.

"I travel a lot and like all Aussies, I get a buzz whenever I see the familiar red tail and the kangaroo logo, no matter where I am in the world. Qantas is great airline with great people and represents the very best of our wonderful country."

"Qantas has always had a vital role in promoting Australia as a tourism destination and I’m looking forward to playing my part as we work together to showcase our amazing cities, landscapes and experiences in the US, Asia and beyond," Jackman added.
