The 'Rise of the Guardians' actor approves of idea to overhaul awards ceremonies, insisting getting rid of gendered acting categories 'would be a really positive step.'

AceShowbiz - Hugh Jackman supports gender neutral acting awards. Agreeing that gendered acting categories should be scrapped, the 54-year-old star has revealed that he would support an overhaul of awards ceremonies.

"That would be a really positive step. I don't understand why it's split into just two genders when we all know it's a much bigger spectrum," said Hugh - who has been nominated for the Best Actor in a Motion Picture gong at the Golden Globes for his performance in "The Son".

Hugh acknowledges that an overhaul would reduce his chances of personal success. However, the Hollywood star ultimately believes that a change is needed. He told the BBC, "Whatever the mix is, we should maybe just break down any of those categories that end up being divisive and unnecessary."

Hugh is one of the world's most in-demand actors - but he previously admitted that he actually wanted to be a "chef on a plane" when he was growing up. The movie star explained that his first-ever flight really captured his imagination.

He shared on Instagram, "If anyone asked me from that point on, for an embarrassing three or four years, what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would say a chef on a plane."

"The Greatest Showman" star also recalled the moment he first set eyes on an aeroplane meal at the age of "nine or ten." He said, "We were sitting there, it was a three-hour flight, and all of a sudden I see this trolley coming in and I smelled food."

"I'm like, 'Food? It smells good, what is that?' They're like, 'Well we're getting lunch'. And I said, 'What do you mean lunch?' They said, 'They give you lunch!' I said, 'On the plane?! They give us lunch?' And I saw this trolley come down and out comes this food. I'm like, 'There's a chef up there cooking food?' "
