There have been repeated rumors in the past that Hugh Jackman could be gay. That's what his wife has to say about it.
The Australian mega star Hugh Jackman (51, "Logan – The Wolverine") has been married to his colleague Deborra-Lee Furness (64) for more than 20 years. Even so, there have been repeated rumors in the past that Jackman could allegedly be homosexual. Furness has now cleared this up on Australian television, on the show "Anh's Brush With Fame". The British "Daily Mail" published a corresponding excerpt from the program.
There are certain magazines that are very "malicious". Furness hoped the magazines weren't bought and people found that all of the stories were made up. Jackman has been portrayed as homosexual "for so many years".
"I'm sure he'd be pissed off"
When asked by the author and comedian Anh Do (43) how annoying that is, Furness explains: "It's just wrong. It's like someone saying Elton John is straight. I'm sure he'd be pissed off. " As early as 2013, Jackman said in an interview with the industry magazine "The Hollywood Reporter" that the rumors would upset his wife in particular. "It bothers you", he said at the time and put the blame on the Internet, in which Furness was at least at this point more hanging around than him. His wife said the rumors were "big" and "everywhere".
Lauren Shuler Donner (71), the producer of "X-Men" (2000), said at the time that she had never seen Jackman having eyes for anyone other than his wife. You first met him in 1999. Back then he was really in love with Furness "and he still is today". The star actor met his future wife on the set of the Australian TV series "Correlli". They married in 1996. They have two children, Oscar (20) and Ava (15).
