According to WENN, Broadway veteran Hugh Jackman is launching a chocolate line, expanding his and his wife's fair trade coffee company, Laughing Man. The company will now offer organic and kosher chocolates.

The actor says that 100 percent of the profits will go to charities.

Hugh Jackman made his Broadway debut portraying the 1970s singer-songwriter Peter Allen in The Boy From Oz, for which he received the 2004 Tony Award for Best Actor in a musical as well as Drama Desk, Drama League, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World Awards. He recently returned to the stage in Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway, and will be seen in the upcoming LES MISERABLES film as Jean Valjean.

Jackman made his first major U.S. film appearance as Wolverine in the first installment of the "X-Men" franchise, a role he reprised in the enormously successful "X2" and 2006's "X-Men: The Last Stand." He reprised his role in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," one of the most successful "prequels" of all time.
