Hugh Jackman, who is currently in London, England to promote his new film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, stopped by the offices of The Sun newspaper to rappel off the building in a promo event to raise funds for the Help Our Heroes organization which lends aid to wounded troops. Here are a few photos of Hugh being a daredevil for a good cause:

X-MEN star Hugh Jackman joined Sun staff today for a daredevil abseil to raise cash for Help For Heroes. In a new nationwide ad campaign, the forces’ favourite paper challenged the nation “What will you do?” for our wounded troops. So it was only right that we did our bit to fundraise for the crucial forces charity too. More than 200 Sun staff made the 100ft plunge from the roof of our HQ in Wapping, East London, aided by a team of Royal Marines. And the 40-year-old Hollywood heartthrob – in London to promote his new blockbuster X-Men Origins: Wolverine – was happy to take his place beside us. The rain-soaked bid raised £25,000 for the wounded troops’ charity. Aussie-born Hugh’s arrival had female Sun staff at knives with each other as they jostled for pictures with the star – named Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine last year … Our abseil was one of more than 600 fundraising events registered so far since the campaign was launched two weeks ago. Backed by The Sun, Help For Heroes want to raise £20million to build a network of seven recovery centres where war-battered troops can rehabilitate, retrain and get their lives back. Abseil organiser Jim Holgate, Sun associate night editor, said: “Sun staff and our colleagues at News International wanted to show Our Boys and Girls across all the Forces that we are are fully behind them. “Help for Heroes is such a worthy cause. And who better to help us stage the event than the Navy’s Royal Marines? “It was a brilliant team effort on all sides.”

As you may recall, Hugh dropped out of a helicopter in Sydney, Australia earlier this month to promote his new film there. At least this time around, Hugh factored in a way to pull off a publicity stunt, promote his film AND help serve a good cause all at the same time. Can the man do no wrong?
