ACTOR and singer Hugh Jackman has shared a video of himself driving towards Glasgow getting ready for his show this week.

The Greatest Showman star was snapped listening to BBC Radio 2 and getting in the mood before he plays three nights at the SSE Hydro.

He can be seen passing signs for Paisley and Renfrew on what appears to be the M8 just after 2pm on Sunday.

It is believed he had been visiting sites across the west of Scotland, including taking a boat trip on Loch Lomond. 

Glasgow Times:

One fan, Natalie Jamieson, had invited Hugh to a barbecue on Loch Lomond on both Twitter and Instagram on Saturday afternoon, saying 'my life would be made'. However, she has confirmed that he did not travel to meet her. 

According to the star's Instagram story, he arrived in Glasgow on Saturday, with a picture of the SSE Hydro captioned 'set up day' with dozens of vehicles outside the venue. 

On Sunday, he posted another photograph with a saltire flag and a view across Glasgow. 

He then shared another a shot of himself with a crowd of others on what appears to be Loch Lomond, before heading back into the city where is said to be staying.
