The doting father-of-two also watched carefully as Ava splashed around in a water ring.

Hugh and his family, including wife Deborra-Lee Furness and their two adopted children, Ava and son Oscar, 11, are enjoying a family break in the gorgeous beauty spot.

Hugh, who has been voted Sexiest Man Alive, even brought along his beloved pet dog on the European holiday.

Saint Tropez is located on the French Riviera, and has been dubbed the playground to jetsetters, fashion models, and millionaires.

Meanwhile Hugh will be seen in the action 3D film Real Steel later this year alongside Lost star Evangeline Lilly.

Set in the near future, the movie is about humanoid robots who do battle in the ring and Hugh is tasked with training one up for a big fight.

The Australian hunk is also planning to give a series of concerts in London during breaks from starring in the film version of Les Miserables.

Shooting on the movie, which is being made by Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper, will begin in the UK next February.

Hugh will play the central role of former convict Jean Valjean.

The actor has just completed a short run of his In Concert show at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto, accompanied by two Broadway performers and a 17-piece orchestra.

The show, developed by director Warren Carlyle and producer Robert Fox, saw Jackman giving a tour de force performance, singing classic numbers from Oklahoma!, Carousel, Dreamgirls and the Peter Allen catalogue.

At a recent matinee, at which Hugh’s son Oscar took to the stage to play the didgeridoo, Jackman spoke to the Daily Mail’s Baz Bamigboye, saying: ‘I wanted to create a show where I can’t wait to do it.’

He found he had a window of opportunity after filming on the next Wolverine film was put back to October.
