Today I had the great pleasure of meeting this lovely lady, Marie Lozano from the Philippines. Her brother, Jeffrey, had Down Syndrome. He passed away 2 years ago. Marie shared with me that one of Jeffrey's joys in life was painting. When he lost the use of his hands he continued to paint with the brush in his mouth. I accept this gift in Jeffrey's honor. May his spirit live on.

Lozano, who is a journalist for ABSCBN in the Philippines, told BuzzFeed she was interviewing Jackman for his latest film, Pan.

"I think it was fate that I was assigned to interview Hugh on the day of my brother Jeffrey's second death anniversary. At the end of the interview, I gave him Jeffrey's mouth painting and told him the story behind it."

"The painting I gave Hugh was one of his last works before he passed away. I wanted to honour Jeffrey by giving his painting of Wolverine to Wolverine himself."
