Countless Hollywood celebrities have done their part in remembering the legendary actor. Among these celebrities, Hugh Jackman’s tribute stood out the most. The X-Men star took to Twitter, praised the Spartacus star and opened up about his experience meeting him. He said,
“Kirk Douglas was one of the greatest actors of all time. A few years ago Deb & I went around for tea. It was one of the most wonderful afternoons we’ve ever spent. Kirk shared amazing stories. He was funny, self-deprecating, giving & brutally honest. In a word … LEGEND.”
Jackman also posted a lengthy tribute on his official Instagram account. He attached several pictures and hailed Douglas as “Larger Than Life”.
