My friends say, ’Man you’re going to have kids sleeping on pillowcases with your face on it! You’re going to be on toothbrushes and magnets and stuff.’ I guess now that I’m a dad, I’m thrilled about that.

Jackman is joking about the kind of mass-market celebrity merchandising that signals mainstream fame—faces on everyday items like toothbrushes, magnets, and children’s bedding. The punchline is the shift in perspective brought by fatherhood: what might once have felt vain, absurd, or even slightly embarrassing becomes endearing and exciting when he imagines it through a parent’s eyes. The quote plays on the contrast between adult self-consciousness and a dad’s delight in anything that might amuse kids, while also acknowledging how celebrity turns a person into a brand. It’s a light, self-deprecating reflection on fame reframed as family-friendly fun.
