Actor Hugh Jackman's old jeans fetch $22,476 at a fundraising auction in Sydney, Australia. They were among 17 pairs auctioned at a "Jeans for Genes" fundraising event for the Children's Medical Research Institute.

Jackman is known for playing the comic book character Wolverine in the "X-Men" movies. He signed the jeans, which fetched more than double the amount paid for Nicole Kidman's denims. Her pants sold for $8,200, while model Megan Gale's jeans went for $7,500.
