"I'm a big fan of having guests on tour, concerts should feel like something happened that night that couldn't happen anywhere else," Hugh explained (via PA).

"So, I don't know if I should say, but Robbie's going to join me at one point."

Original story: Hugh Jackman is still busy trying to take over the world, with the actor and all-round entertainer recently announcing that he's embarking on a huge tour in spring 2019.

Hugh's world tour, titled The Man. The Music. The Show., will take on Europe and the USA, including a date at London's O2 Arena.

And he's more than a little ambitious when it comes to plans for the tour, as he's told The Hollywood Reporter that he's got a pretty big wish list of guests he'd like to invite on stage with him.

"I would love Pink to come and do 'A Million Dreams' with me. She sang it for The Greatest Showman's Reimagined soundtrack. We're actually going to be on tour at the same time in Europe, so I'd love for her to come and sing a little harmony for 'A Million Dreams' with me," he said.

But he's not stopping there...

"I'd also love to have Kelly Clarkson and Taron Egerton, who plays Elton John in Rocketman. He has a voice like you cannot believe," Hugh added. "The original cast of Oklahoma!, I'd love to reunite with for the show's 21st anniversary.

"James Corden, I've asked him if he'll come on. He'd be so much fun! I would love to have them all come, and loads of other people."

"This show is a crazy dream to me. And now it's real. So I'm just going to turn up and celebrate with everyone."

The actor recently revealed that there's a very real possibility that The Greatest Showman could be adapted into a live stage show in the future.

"I'm not going to lie to you, I've heard four different possibilities. I'm involved but not in charge, if that makes sense," he said.

"What I do know is, from doing the workshops which you can see online, it really works in the room. With no spectacle, with no costumes, those songs really work.

"So I feel very confident that a live version will come together."
