NEIL DIAMOND GIFTS ‘TREASURED’ PRESENT TO HUGH JACKMAN — A MOMENT THAT TOUCHED FANS WORLDWIDE
Legendary singer-songwriter Neil Diamond has once again proven that his music — and his heart — continue to resonate far beyond the stage. In a deeply personal and emotional gesture, the 84-year-old icon recently surprised Hugh Jackman with a gift the actor described as “one of the most awesome” he has ever received.
Jackman, who has been busy promoting his latest musical film Song Sung Blue, was left visibly stunned after receiving a signed guitar from Diamond himself. The film, released on December 25, is inspired by the true story of a Neil Diamond tribute band based in Milwaukee and stars Jackman alongside Kate Hudson in a leading role.
Clearly moved by the tribute and Jackman’s heartfelt portrayal of music inspired by his life and songs, Diamond decided to send the actor something truly meaningful. In a video shared on Instagram, the 57-year-old actor is seen carefully unzipping a guitar case. The moment he opens it, his expression shifts instantly — shock, joy, and disbelief all at once — as he realizes the instrument bears Neil Diamond’s autograph.
Clutching the guitar close to his chest, Jackman quietly whispers a humble “Thank you,” a moment that quickly spread across social media and touched fans around the world. Another image accompanying the post shows Diamond holding the signed guitar with a wide smile, giving an enthusiastic thumbs-up — a simple but powerful symbol of approval from one legend to another.
Jackman later shared his gratitude in the caption, writing that the guitar was “one of the most awesome gifts I’ve ever received and will cherish forever.” Fans flooded the comments with emotional reactions, praising the bond between the two artists and calling the gesture “beautiful,” “heartfelt,” and “unforgettable.”
For many, the moment felt bigger than a celebrity exchange. It was a passing of the torch — from a timeles
