Toronto Sep 9 (IANS) After essaying the role of politician Gary Hart in Jason Reitman s political drama "The Front Runner" actor Hugh Jackman says he has no interest in joining politics in future.
"Looking into that world it makes me want to run away further " the "X-Men" star told media while promoting Reitman s film at the Toronto International Film Festival reports hollywoodreporter.com.
The movie is about Hart s 1988 presidential campaign which was scuttled by reports of the candidate s sexual misconduct and extra-marital dalliance with Donna Rice.
Jackman observed that after former President Richard Nixon s Watergate scandal every journalist and voter assumes politicians have flaws that need exposing.
He said: "Thank God as an actor we don t have that standard because there wouldn t be many actors left."
The "Front Runner" is adapted from Matt Bai s book about the Hart campaign "All the Truth Is Out: The Week Politics Went Tabloid".
To get into the role of Hart Jackman had researched a lot and met with the politician several times.
