'All the main actors have a very big moment. We have Michelle Williams and I ballroom dancing on a rooftop. Zac and I tap dancing on tabletops. We have Zendaya Coleman and Zac flying through the air on trapeze rigs.

'P T Barnum, you know what he said, 'Life is what you choose to make it',' Jackman said.
