And after Hugh Jackman touched down in Brazil to promote his last star turn as the mutant character in Logan, he received a superhero's welcome on Sunday.

Flying in from the movie's premiere at the Berlinale International Film Festival in Berlin, the actor looked slightly dishevelled after the long-haul flight.
Wearing a grey T-Shirt and black jeans, the 48-year-old actor sported salt and pepper stubble as he stepped off the plane with his sunglasses still on.
Showing he is far from a diva, the movie star held his own bags in hand and sported a leather backpack over his shoulders.

The personality admitted in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald that he got 'tearful' during the film's more tender scenes.
After 17 years playing the character, he revealed he didn't think he had 'got the heart of the character until this film [Logan],' further adding to the importance of the production and his apparent closure in leaving the role.
During the recent Berlin premiere of the picture, Hugh was still sporting a flesh coloured dressing from his surgery to remove skin cancer from his nose for the sixth time in two years.

He looked sharp as ever in spite of the bandage, working a grey blazer over a simple white T-shirt, accentuating his broad frame.
Just earlier this month he was documenting the fifth skin cancer removal from his face on social media.
He shared: 'An example of what happens when you don't wear sunscreen. Basal Cell. The mildest form of cancer but serious, nonetheless.'
Always looking forward, Hugh's high-spirits are clearly set on the release of Logan, which launches Australia-wide on March 2.
