He has already attended premieres in Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States and his native Australia.

It has become a annual tradition, where up to 300 performers dance the fire dragon, made up of 72,000 sticks of burning incense and a 67-metre-long dragon, through the narrow streets of Tai Hang.

He is the first international star to be invited to feed the pearl to the Fire Dragon at the festival.

The busy star is also in rehearsal for his area spectacular, Broadway to Oz, which will feature state-of-the-art lighting, sound and video production and a vast company of 150 musicians, singers, dancers and choir to accompany him on stage.

Hugh recently announced that he will be stepping out of his famed role as Wolverine, before hinting that Mad Max star Tom Hardy may be his replacement.

'I haven't really given it a lot of thought. I don't want to make it too easy on the studio to replace me', said the rugged showman in an interview with MTV.

'There is some actor out there who's like [they’ve told] "Shh, keep it quiet but we want you next. He's younger than me for sure. I think Tom Hardy would be great.'
