Hugh Jackman put his impressive action man muscles on display today as he enjoyed some holiday fun with his daughter.

The 42-year-old Wolverine star used his bulging biceps to lift his six-year-old daughter Ava into the air as they splash around in the ocean whilst on holiday in Saint Tropez, France.

The little girl had a ball as she larked around in the water with her famous dad.

The doting father-of-two also watched carefully as Ava splashed around in a water ring.

And the pair had a laugh when Ava tried to push her father back into the ocean.

Hugh and his family, including wife Deborra-Lee Furness and their two adopted children, Ava and son Oscar, 11, are enjoying a family break in the gorgeous beauty spot.

Hugh, who has been voted Sexiest Man Alive, even brought along his beloved pet dog on the European holiday.

Saint Tropez is located on the French Riviera, and has been dubbed the playground to jetsetters, fashion models, and millionaires.

Meanwhile Hugh will be seen in the action 3D film Real Steel later this year alongside Lost star Evangeline Lilly.

Set in the near future, the movie is about humanoid robots who do battle in the ring and Hugh is tasked with training one up for a big fight.

The Australian hunk is also planning to give a series of concerts in London during breaks from starring in the film version of Les Miserables.

Shooting on the movie, which is being made by Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper, will begin in the UK next February.

Hugh will play the central role of former convict Jean Valjean.
