Deborra-Lee Furness and Hugh Jackman
Oh man you guys, this mega mac is seriously the best. Inspiration for this came from an interview Hugh just did with Good Housekeeping AND IT'S KILLING ME.
"From day one, we were best mates," Jackman, 44, says of his wife. "We just clicked. We were giggling and laughing — we just connected."
This whole post could be about adorable things Hugh has said about his wife of 17 years. Here they are, young love birds.
The couple met on the set of the Australian show Corelli in 1991, and married in April of 1996. Deborra, 57, was a much bigger star at the time. In my eyes, she'll always be a bigger star. Newsies > Wolverine.
The couple has adopted two kids, Oscar, 13, and Ava, 8. Here's the whole adorable family.
Hugh explains how he likes to keep the romance alive by surprising his wife,
"If I bring Deb flowers every Tuesday, yeah, it's nice, but is it romantic?" he asks. When the actor got off early from work in Montreal, "I pretended I was still on set," he recalls. "I called Deb and said, 'I'll be back late tonight.'" Then he appeared hours earlier than she expected. "And she got such a shock. I'd made reservations at our favorite lunch place. It was three hours before the kids finished school, and it was awesome because it was unplanned."
Though the internet probably isn't with me on this, I really don't think he's Travolting us, I think he's straight. Addressing said gay rumors, Hugh says,
"I don't really pay attention," he admits. "If someone's going to spend their time saying, 'You're really not 6-foot-2; you're 5-foot-10, I'll tell them once, 'I am 6-foot-2.' Then, whatever you want to believe, it's up to you. Am I going to waste energy going, 'I'm so mad that this person says I'm 5-foot-10?' We really only get mad when there's an element of truth, right?"
Here' they are being in love at the Oscars.
Uh, okay, I promise last awesome Hugh quote.
"When I met Deb, it was 10 times better than my single life. She was very beautiful. She was unbelievably fun -- this energy, this spirit -- irrepressible. And she had a confidence in herself. I had a massive crush on her instantly."
Now I have a massive crush on both of you. Well played Jackman/Furness family.
