Hugh Jackman has become the new darling of New York's social elite.
When Barbra Streisand held a dinner party in Manhattan for a group of friends, she invited Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.
The other guests? Oprah Winfrey, Sidney Poitier, Quincy Jones, John Travolta and Donna Karan.
Jackman said he and Furness played it cool but as soon as they left they looked at each other and let out an excited "Whoooooaaaa".
