After sharing a selfie on Instagram that shows him looking more melancholy than jolly, fans of Hugh Jackman are concerned the Wolverine star is feeling the sharp pangs of divorce.
Recently, the beloved Aussie, a stage and screen actor, posted two close-up photos that piqued the interest of his followers, who ask, “Where is that beautiful smile we all know, and love?”
Adored by fans across the globe, 55-year-old Hugh Jackman is a multiple award-winning actor who’s best known as Logan, the quick-witted, sharp-clawed Wolverinein the X-Men franchise.
The Aussie star got his big break in 1995, with a leading role on the Australian TV show, Correlli, where he played alongside his future wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.
At the time, Furness was an established star and Jackman was fresh out of drama school.
Recalling his first meeting with Furness, Jackman shared with People in 2017, “Deb, she was a big star…I get picked up, and Deb is in the front seat of the car. I’ll never forget.” He continues,
“She took off her seatbelt and she turned around and put out her hand and took off her sunglasses and said, ‘Hi, I’m Deborra-lee Furness, nice to meet you.’ I remember thinking, ‘I like this girl.’”
Furness, now 68, and the star of Les Misérables married in 1996 and share two children, Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18, whom they adopted.
Fans kept their eyes on the beloved couple, who was admired for their loyalty and longevity.
On April 11, 2023, the Tony Award-winning actor shared a heartfelt tribute to his wife, celebrating their anniversary.
Shocking news
Five months later, some shocking news was released, and fans revisited the photo of the seemingly loving couple, expressing their distress.
One writes, “Remembered this post and had to come back to it today after reading news of the split. Hope both of you find deep peace.”
Another shares, “I just read that you and your wife are separated or separating? WTH? If you two don’t make it, there’s very little hope for the rest of us.”
In September 2023, the couple announced that after almost three decades together, they were splitting.
