He received the medal from Governor General David Hurley for his outstanding work in the art world and his efforts to combat poverty. There are countless teachers, coaches and mentors who have taught and inspired me throughout my career. To be precise, Hugh received the Companion of the Order, which is the highest price anyone can receive. He announced on Instagram that he was very grateful for his medal. “On this occasion I am reminded that I actually share this prize with my parents, brothers and sisters, my friends and in particular with Deb, Oscar and Ava (his wife and children, ed.). There are countless teachers, coaches and mentors who have taught and inspired me throughout my career. I will always remain grateful to them. “ The Wolverine actor is also proud to be in a special line of people. “It feels humble to stand among so many great Australians who have done fantastic things in so many different areas. Thank you, Governor General.”
