Australian movie star Hugh Jackman helped save children from dangerous surf at Sydney's famed Bondi Beach, video on local media showed Sunday.

Footage aired by Nine Network showed Jackman, known for his roles in the "X-Men" blockbusters, hauling a man and a child from the waves.

He also then reportedly helped his own son Oscar out of the same rip, a dangerous ocean current.

"He wasn't rescuing me, I was assisting him to get his daughter up to the sandbar. He then grabbed my hand to get us up," Peter Adam told the Nine Network.

"He then went to get his son."

Jackman, who is a regular at Bondi Beach with his family when he is in Australia, had reportedly returned home after promoting his most recent film "Eddie the Eagle".
