Amy Poehler has opened up about the surprising gift she received from Hugh Jackman in 2001, after he appeared alongside her on Saturday Night Live.
The American comedian, 52, who attended the Sydney premiere of Inside Out 2 on Monday, revealed Jackman, 55, holds a special place in her heart.
'You know who was one of my faves, Hugh Jackman, an absolute prince and so talented,' she told The Daily Telegraph.
'He gave everyone in the cast a case of Fosters beer.'
Jackman was a guest host on the long-running American sketch comedy show in December 2001, and hammed it up alongside Poehler and Maya Rudolph.
Poehler added although she was no longer with SNL when Chris Hemsworth, 40, guest hosted in 2015, she heard he had a 'powerful' presence and his 'essence remained' long after he left.
Amy cut a dashing figure at the Inside Out 2 premiere, in a three piece cream suit which consisted of a sleek blazer, waist coat and wide leg trousers, and she added a pair of stacked patent heels to the look.
She accessorised with a black flower pinned to her lapel, as well as a pair of dainty earrings.
For makeup, the comedian chose a rosy, glowing look with a satin pink lipstick and wore her blonde hair off her face.
Amy is visiting Australia for a special Vivid Ideas event at the Sydney Opera House.
The Golden Globe and Emmy Award winning actress fronts Vivid Sydney Presents - In Conversation with Amy Poehler plus a special first look at Disney and Pixar's Inside Out 2, in which Poehler stars as the emotion Joy.
'I'm really looking forward to taking part in Vivid Sydney this year, a place that welcomes Joy in every way,' said Poehler in a statement before her visit.
'I can't wait to share a little of Inside Out 2: a movie that lets Joy and Sadness, Anxiety and Envy—all try to work together in hilarious and touching ways,' she added.
It is the American star's first Sydney appearance since 2015.
