Is there anything this super-dad can't do? As well as being a movie-star and a hands-on dad, Hugh Jackman has shown he's also skilful on the football pitch.
The doting father kicked a ball around a field with his daughter Ava and son Oscar in New York yesterday.
And, although still devilishly handsome, Jackman did look a bit scruffy sporting an over-grown beard - a change from his usual clean-shaven look.

The picturesque family scene was taken during a play date at Hudson River Park in downtown Manhattan.
Jackman's wife Deborra-Lee Furness watched on, carrying the family dog in her coat as her husband and children raced around the field with their friends.
After exerting himself on the pitch, Jackman took a breather with his son who played with their pet and kept him warm in his padded coat.

Oscar had dressed the pup in its own cardigan and tenderly stroked the dog as his father had a drink to quench his thirst from the early exertion.
Jackman is set to soon start filming a follow up to his hit franchise Wolverine - X-Men: Origins - Wolverine 2.
So this is a possible explanation to him growing out his beard, before he then sculpts the character's famous large sideburns.

The kids later hopped on their scooters for the family's journey home having had a fun-filled afternoon.
Australian-born actor Jackman, 42, and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness adopted Ava along with 10-year-old Oscar after she had two miscarriages.
Besides his parenting duties, Jackman has also been busy on the film front lately, with several big screen outings due for release in 2011.
He will be seen alongside Alicia Silverstone in the comedy Butter, as well as appearing in the futuristic drama Real Steel.
