The star realised he should pursue a career as a performer shortly after receiving his degree from the University of Technology in Sydney.
He explained in an interview with Deadline: "There was a key moment when I was 23. I was living with five other students and the moment I walked into that house - they were acting students - I was like, 'I've just wasted three years.'"
The star, who is now 50 years old, then decided to secretly apply to a one-year course at the Actors' Centre in Sydney, but although he was offered a place, he was expected to pay $3,500 for the course.
"I thought, 'I don't have $3,500, I can't ask my father, he's just helped me through college,' so I tore it up and put it in the waste bin.
"And the very next day I got a check from my father's mother's will for $3,500 - exactly. That's fate smacking you over the head!"
Hugh's career has gone from strength to strength, with roles in films as varied as musical 'Les Miserables' and comic book blockbuster 'Logan'.
This year, he will be hitting the road for his first ever tour as he performs songs from his musical with 'The Man. The Music. The Show'.
