Hugh Jackman says mental health film changed his view on parenting

VENICE: Hugh Jackman says playing the role of a father to a depressed teenager in 'The Son,' which premiered at the 79th Venice International Film Festival on Wednesday, made him rethink his entire approach to parenting.

The Australian star, best known for playing Wolverine in the 'X-Men' films, says he had a need 'like a fire in my gut' to play the part after reading the stage version by writer-director Florian Zeller.
