A Hollywood A-Lister has congratulated Ipswich Town on their promotion to the Premier League.
Sports presenter James Tzanoudakis posted a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, which showed him meeting Hugh Jackman for an interview at Wimbledon.
The Australian actor jokingly walked away saying "thanks so much" after learning Mr Tzanoudakis was a Town supporter.
Hugh Jackman is a known supporter of Norwich City, the Suffolk club's rivals, as his mother was born and raised in the Norfolk city.

Ipswich Town last faced the Canaries at Carrow Road on Saturday, April 6 where they were beaten 1-0.
Despite a loss to the rivals, the Blues secured automatic promotion to the Premier League for the first time in 22 years after beating Huddersfield 2-0 at Portman Road.
Mr Jackman told James Tzanoudakis: "Well done, the whole town must be going crazy."
In the clip he said fans should enjoy it and that it was "going to be awesome".
Norwich City missed out on a promotion to the Premier League after losing in the play-offs semi final to Leeds.
Speaking about the lack of promotion for the Norfolk team, Mr Jackman continued: "It's okay, you know we have had a lot of years up there. We are happy for you to just enjoy it."
