Admit it, you'd buy from Hugh Jackman if he showed up at your door.

The "Wolverine" star is getting inside the makeup biz with "Avon Man," according to Variety. Jackman will play a car salesman who turns to the famous door-to-door business when his dealership fails.

This being comedy, you're not wrong in guessing Jackman recruits a number of other unemployed he-men to help win a sales contest.

Jackman will also produce, and 20th Century Fox will distribute. The movie is still at the pitch stage, so there's no finished script yet, much less a production date.
