The actor is keen to do a Greatest Showman 2.

Hugh Jackman says he'd be happy to do a sequel to The Greatest Showman.

The Australian actor, who plays the lead role of PT Barnum, said he'd "get the top hat out" again if a second movie came along.

Chatting to BBC Radio 5 Live, Hugh said, "If a genuine opportunity came up where it felt like the right thing to do, then yep, I'd get the top hat back out."

The musical took in €383 million worldwide and the soundtrack is still Number One in the Irish Album Chart.

However, a second movie looks unlikely anytime soon. 21st Century Fox, the company that made the film, is currently in the process of being bought by Disney.

Hugh added that "We have a situation in the business where the company that did it has been sold to Disney, so there are a lot of spinning plates right now.

"But it's clear to me and to everyone that people love these characters. I loved this movie, I loved this character and it was one of the great joys of my life."

Hugh is already bringing big hits from the movie on a world tour, including three sold-out dates at Dublin's 3Arena in May.
