In the eyes of Pan actor Hugh Jackman's 15-year-old son Oscar, he's anything but.

Speaking to Yahoo7 Movies, Hugh revealed the hard way in which he found out his 'uncool' status with his son.

"My son had a [new] friend over, and they were down in the room and I just happened to be outside the room," Hugh tells us. "I heard this [kid] peppering my son with questions about Wolverine.

"Finally Oscar kinda-semi lost his cool and goes, 'Look, I've just got to tell you, Wolverine is really cool. My dad is not cool. He's not tough. He's just completely different.'"

Ouch!

Never fear -- Hugh took it in his stride, laughing, "What do you mean I'm not cool, I'm not tough?"

On the other hand, his 10-year-old daughter Ava thinks his upcoming movie Pan, in which he plays the villainous pirate Blackbeard, is the real deal.
