No tiara for Hugh.

Hugh Jackmanprobably won’t describe April 25th as his perfect date any time soon.

“No one knew ‘X-Men’ yet,” Jackman said.

“I was a nobody.

Jackman was thrown for a loop when he walked into the audition to findSandra Bullockthere to read with him.

He had never read opposite another actor in a casting situation before.

I didn’t expect her to be in there.

I’m guessing eight people she tested with.”

And Bullock really delivered, only illustrating to Jackman how ill-equipped he was for the audition.

“‘Holy s—!

And so quick and fast.

I’m not even vaguely up to speed here,’ " he recalled thinking of Bullock.

And then you don’t get it,” Jackman said.

The same yearMiss Congenialityhit theaters, so didX-Men,launching both Jackman and Bullock to super-stardom.

Sadly, the two stars have never teamed up in the years since.
