Jackman's wife: ‘It’s funny, but also boring’
Deborra-Lee Furness, Hugh Jackman's wife, once again talked about gossip about her husband's sexuality.
Cyclically and at almost regular intervals, the story of Hugh Jackman’s sexuality (53) and rumors that Wolverine is a gay return. The story came again, and Jackman’s wife Deborra-Lee Furness, 66, who guest-starred on the popular podcast “Not an overnight success,” hosted by renowned Australian radio and TV presenter Gus Worland, said succinctly, 'I’m really tired of those stories. If Hugh was gay he wouldn't have to hide it. He would be gay in public. '
The couple met on the set of the Australian TV series "Correlli" in 1995, and they were married 11 months later. They have two children, a son Oscar (20), and a daughter Ava (15). Gossip claiming that Hugh is gay appeared back in 2003, when the actor on Broadway played the role of homosexual, songwriter and composer Peter Allen, in the play "The Boy From Oz".
His wife told Worland that she has a feeling people think the celebrity hunting season is constantly open, that they can be bombarded with gossip non-stop.
'There's really no reason Hugh doesn't come out of the closet if he's gay,' she said. 'He wouldn't hide but he would be in a relationship with Brad Pitt or whatever ... I'm not saying Brad is gay, but I just want to illustrate the story ' she explained.
She said the two of them avoid reading gossip about themselves.'These are crazy stories that people enlarge ... And they are boring ' she said.
Deborra-Lee Furness has many times dealt with rumors at the expense of her husband. Also, there were insults at her expense as well, because she is much older than Jackman and she is “not pretty enough”.
Two years ago, on the show 'Anh's Brush With Fame' on the Australian ABC, in which the famous painter Anh Do interviewed the stars and painted their portraits, she joked about herself and her husband.
'He's been gay for so many years. I was gay too. Everyone was shocked when I got married ' she said then and continued 'It's like someone telling Elton John that he's actually heterosexual. I'm sure he would be angry.' She also commented on comments that she is “lucky” because she married the handsome, sexy Hugh Jackman.
'Lucky? Like I won it in the lottery! People don’t realize that it’s actually rude to say that. I am aware that it is because he is cool and masculine. ' she said. Jackman often talks about his love for his wife, and in 2017 he revealed in People magazine the moment he told Deborri-Lee that he fell in love with her, after they prepared pancakes together.
'She said that she noticed that something was happening to me, that I was avoiding talking to her and then I said: 'I fell in love with you. I'm sorry, I'll get over it' and she replied: 'Oh? Great because I'm in love with you too.' Not in a million years would I have thought he would retaliate.' he said.
