In a 2011 interview with Collider, the actor even opened up about how his kids liked the movie so much.

"It's the first one of my movies they've seen," Jackman said. "If you think about it, there's been nothing else, really, that's applicable for them, apart from a couple animated movies I've done."

He added that since the movie has robots, it immediately caught his children's attention. They even cheered for them and cried.

Meanwhile, the whole Jackman family fully got into the story as his wife also got touched with it.

"Real Steel" Is Rich, Director Said

During the time of its release, Levy went deeper with Screen Rant and told the outlet that his movie is "rich and pure."

"They are arrogant, pompous, exclusionary and elitist," he uttered. "Let me say this as a Canadian who has a moderate understanding of this country but a deep and profound love of all things American lore."
