Hugh Jackman, who plays P.T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman, talks about what Barnum represents, which is that you can be whatever you want and choose the life you want as long as you work hard and have the imagination and talent required. He discusses what America in the 1850s was like and how people were limited by the family and class they were born into. He talks about the song "A Million Dreams," which the young Barnum sings about his desire to live out his fantasies and dreams. Finally, he calls co-star Zendaya a pure natural, incredibly professional and says she could be the biggest star of her generation. He also reveals how director Michael Gracey came on board.
