Hugh Jackman took to Instagram on Monday to address his 27 million followers about fake social media accounts running in his name. He wrote,"Thanks so much for making me aware of people using my name and likeness to create fake social media accounts. I understand these people are asking you for money to meet me. Please know this… I have not and will never ask anyone to pay to meet me on social media. Please do not give anyone you do not know your personal or financial information!"

The X-Men star then talked about the advantages and disadvantages of social media."When used correctly, social media can be amazing. I love that it allows me to share my journey from every part of the world. However, it can also be dangerous. Please hear me. If someone claiming to be me is asking you for money, it is a scam."

Jackman then signed off, "Please keep yourselves and your family safe. Love, HJ."
