Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds have an adorable Hollywood friendship. They met while filming X-Men Origins: Wolverine way back in 2009 and started a fake feud that?s provided some pretty fun moments for their fans. They?ve supported each other?s business ventures and are reportedly genuinely good friends IRL. This past summer, they also filmed Deadpool 3 together. As you all know, Jackman and his wife of 27 years, Deborra-lee Furness announced their separation last week. On Monday, Hugh and Ryan were seen taking a walk together in New York City.
Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds are spending some quality time with each other.
The actors and close friends were spotted on a walk together in New York City on Monday. The pairs outing comes a few days after the X-Men star and wife Deborra-lee Jackman announced their amicable split following 27 years of marriage.
Jackman, 54, and Reynolds, 46, are soon set to reprise their Marvel characters Wolverine and Deadpool, respectively, in the upcoming Deadpool 3 movie, which was in the midst of filming before Hollywood actors went on strike in July.
We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,? they said. ?Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.?
The statement continued, Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.
A day after announcing the news, Hugh was spotted on a walk in New York City without his wedding ring on. Although it was a mutual decision for the Aussie pair to separate, a source close to Hugh and Deborra-lee recently told PEOPLE that they are devastated and that the split is very hard for them.
It was not a snap decision ? they took a lot of time and consideration of everything, and they made this decision together, the insider said. They are going on separate journeys, but they will always be a family. They?ll always be co-parents and best friends.

I must admit that I always assumed their friendship was one of friendly coworkers who get along and joke around for free publicity, but it?s good to know that theyre friends on a deeper level. It?s always nice to see friends supporting one another during difficult personal times, especially when it?s two men who are breaking societal taboos by providing emotional support for each other and all. I?ve always liked Hugh and Deborra together and was one of those people who was shocked when they announced their split. I really hope that we don?t find out anything icky involving their divorce. I wish the Jackman family the best and hope Deborra and their children also have a good support structure around them.

This really shocked me, not because I thought Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee Furness are some kind of magical, perfect couple, but because they?ve truly weathered every storm before now. Hugh and Deborra are separating after 27 years of marriage. They were both actors when they met in Australia in 1995, but as his career reached all kinds of crazy heights, Deborra phased out her acting career and raised their two children, Oscar and Ava. Predictably you can really set your watch to this Hugh and Deborra are separating soon after their youngest turned 18 years old.
Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-lee are amicably ending their marriage. The couple say in a statement exclusively shared with PEOPLE: We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.
Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.
The statement, signed ?Deb and Hugh Jackman, concludes: This is the sole statement either of us will make.
The Aussie pair, who share two kids, Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18, have been married for 27 years.

As I said, they seemed like they were in it through thick and thin, come what may. They seemed like best friends, like they enjoyed each other?s company and they understood each other. But! Sources told Page Six that their split had been ?a long time coming? and that ?It happened a while ago. Friends and family knew about it.? For what its worth, they went to the Met Gala together this year, so I dont know about that. This might have been a slow-burn pandemic split too, because there?s some indication that they really started having problems in 2020-21, and Deborra was barely around when Hugh went back on Broadway for The Music Man in 2022. Plus, you know, so many couples are just limping along for those last few years before their kids leave for college. I feel for Ava!

Yesterday marked the 23rd wedding anniversary for Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness. They usually do some touching tribute and I generally cover it, but God knows who might have shown up to congratulate them so I felt it best to leave it alone. Instead, I thought we could talk about Jackman?s comments on adjusting to his kids becoming teenagers because that?s something I can relate to. Jackman has two kids, Oscar is 18 and Ava is 13. (I can?t believe Oscar is graduating from high school!)
On how parenting changed: My son is about to leave high school, and my daughter is about to go into high school. It?s amazing to just have conversations with them. But it took a bit of readjusting. It went from ?Hey, guys, these are the rules, we don?t do that,? to having to give them reasons why.
On watching movies: It?s nice to go to the movies and see something you both want to see. It?s no longer ?Oh good, let?s watch Shrek for the 120th time.? I mean, I love Shrek but not 120 times.
On what being a dad has taught him: When your focus is innately, deeply, one hundred percent become these kids in your life and their well being it just seems to put everything into perspective. Being a father has taught me so much.
[From People]
My kids are a little younger (14 and 12) but I get his comments here. I guess I?ve adjusted too, but it?s such a welcome adjustment that I see it almost as a reward for surviving their childhood. Yes, there is moodiness and the drah-mah! but in total, I like having teenagers so much better than little kids. I absolutely adore the conversations, even if it is them negotiating a rule or defending something they did. They?re fascinating and I love when they give me a thoughtful response (even if the answer?s still no).
The movie thing is a mixed bag. I do get to see a better variety but I?ve also missed a couple I wanted to see in theaters because my kids asked me to wait for them and we couldn?t coordinate our schedules. Jackman?s animated film, Missing Link, opens today so I?ll bet he?s praying some poor schlub out there will be forced to the theater to see it 120 times, though. But yeah, I can still recite Finding Nemo by heart. We all have limits, no matter how much we enjoyed the film.

As the ramp up for the Oscar campaigns, Variety is releasing its annual roundtables. As a part of the Actors on Actors series, Hugh Jackman and Willem Dafoe sat in a stylish room, looking lovely in all black ensembles while discussing their current Oscar offerings (The Florida Project for Willem and Logan for Hugh). During their chat, Willem asked Hugh why he decided to hang up his claws after 17 years. Apparently, it was all Jerry Seinfeld?s fault.
When Jackman asked the famous comic how he decided to end his hit series ?Seinfeld,? ?He said, ?I?ve always believed, you should never spend everything creatively because it?s almost herculean to start up again. You should always have something in the tank,’? Jackman recalled. ?Leave the party before it gets too late kind of theory.?
Jackman decided on the way home from that dinner that his upcoming film, ?Logan,? would be his final in that role. He then came up with the idea of treating the character as a human being (instead of a superhero) who?s lived a life of violence.
[From Variety]
Technically, Hugh is currently promoting The Greatest Showman but I think his shot for any award this year is going to be Logan. I would love for Showman to be a fun film and successful but as I?ve said, I have some doubts. As for Seinfeld?s advice, I agree completely about walking away while people still want more. There?s no need to drag out a franchise well past its sell-by date. Personally, not only would I like to see roles/films go out on top, I?d prefer they don?t come back. I?ve been disappointed in many of the ?returns? of late.
Hugh also said in the discussion that on the very first X-Men film, which was released two years before Willem?s Spiderman film, Kevin Fiege was the assistant to the producer. 17 years seems like a while ago when it comes to a film opening but in terms of Fiege?s career, it seems like a blink. You can watch Hugh and Willem?s chat here ? there a many nice moments and they are so down to earth, which is refreshing for two very talented and very accomplished men.
In the current revelations about how far-reaching sexual harassment goes, many of us have made up a list of people we desperately hope to never read about in that context and I know Hugh is on many of your (our) lists. So far, both Hugh and Willem remain the good guys we hope they are. At another Envelope Roundtable, Hugh addressed the sexual harassment that?s comes to light.
I just have unbelievable empathy and am so inspired by all the people coming out. I think the amount of shame and guilt that is attached to this entire subject, and the courage it takes to step forward is humbling to me. I don?t think it matters if you?re a man or a woman, it?s a human issue. On some level, it?s really a great opportunity, beyond just our industry, really among society.
[From LA Times]
I really do think Hugh is who he purports to be. I think he has a marvelous partner in Deb who seems to have helped him find a balance between his personal and professional life.
Last note ? at one point, Willem and Hugh agree on dancing and decide to make a musical together. They shook hands on it. Let?s hold them to it, folks, a Willem Dafoe Hugh Jackman musical might just save the world.
Here?s the clip of Hugh talking about walking away from Logan:

Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee Furness are one of those couples who love to talk about how they met and will tell you how much they mean to each other. A lot of people throw shade at Hugh for marrying an older woman who isn’t Hollywood perfect, and he’s been the subject of gay rumors, but to me that just means that he’s dedicated to his wife and isn’t a superficial bastard. Plus he’s such a natural, accomplished entertainer and he can sing and dance with the best of them. That doesn’t make him gay, that just makes him excellent at his job.
Anyway, in a new appearance on Ellen, Hugh talked about meeting his wife, a story which he’s told many times and which you can tell he still loves telling. He was gushing about her this time because their 20th anniversary is coming up, but he usually doesn’t need an excuse.
“She and I met before [I got famous]. It was my fist job and it was…obviously, she’s the greatest thing that ever happened to me, and it gets better and better,” Hugh, 47, said of Deborra, 60. “I’m kind of really grateful that I met before anything kind of happened, because everything that’s happened in my career and on-screen, off-screen, we’ve always done it together.” He then told the story of how they first got together on the set of the Australian TV series Correlli. “She was the star I had this major crush on her. Everyone did! The whole crew had a crush on her, and I was so embarrassed by that I didn’t talk to her for about a week. When I realized, I didn’t talk to her. About a week later, I go, ‘This I silly.’ I had a dinner party and I invited her over and about 20 other people, and she said, ‘What’s the matter? Have I annoyed you? You’re not talking to me anymore. What have I done wrong?’ All the sudden I was?I’d had a couple ??and I said, ‘Look, I got a crush on you. I’ll get over it.’ And she went, ‘Oh, really?’ I was like, ‘Oh, this is bad.’ She goes, ‘Yeah, I got one on you, too.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, great.’ So, that was it.”
Here they are today, “21 years and two kids later.”
[From E! Online]
I watched that episode as I’ve been taping Ellen and I have to say that Hugh adores his wife. To all you cynical bitches – I get it, most of the time I’m with you, but this is an exception. I’ve seen both Hugh and Deborra Lee interviewed many times and they’re the real deal. Yes it makes me jealous but at least the woman who bagged Hugh isn’t some Victoria’s Secret model (not that there’s anything wrong with that, but you know what I’m saying, she has other attributes).
Hugh was promoting his upcoming film, Eddie the Eagle, which tells the true story of the first British Olympic ski jumper, played by Taron Egerton (not

A bearded Hugh Jackman was the host of the 2014 Tonys last night, and like his predecessor Neil Patrick Harris he was a highly entertaining natural. (Hugh previously hosted in 2003, 2004 and 2005.) He opened by hopping energetically through the venue, encountering various casts on his backstage journey. There were celebrity cameos, by Sting and Clint Eastwood, and he met up with NPH in an elevator, a nod to Neil’s gig hosting the last three years. When Jackman finally reached the stage to sing a quick intro he was only mildly out of breath, leading me to wonder if some of his opening segment was pre-taped and just how incredibly in shape he must be. (Hugh’s hopping bit was a tribute to old Broadway, particularly Bobby Van in the 1953 musical film Small Town Girl, a video of which was playing on a monitor backstage as he hopped by.)

The ceremony featured excellent musical performances from so many different shows that I yearned to travel to NY and see them live, which was surely the point. My favorites were Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight and Fantasia singing “Sunny Side of the Street,” from “After Midnight” (they opened after Hugh), James Monroe Iglehart from “Aladdin” doing “Never Had a Friend Like Me,” Alan Cumming’s sexy performance of “Willkommen,” from “Cabaret,” and Neil Patrick Harris in full drag doing “Sugar Daddy” from “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.” NPH danced on a car and even sat on Kevin Bacon’s lap in the audience.

One of the most talked about moments of the night was Jackman’s rap of the “Music Man” opening, along with LL Cool J and T.I. Jackman isn’t much of a rapper but he brought it for that number, which left many audience members bemused. (Unfortunately I can’t find some of the performances online, but I did find Hugh’s opening act, and The Tony website has the acceptance speeches.)
Some of the performers won Tonys, including NPH for Best Leading Actor in a musical, James Monroe Inglehart for Best Featured Actor in a musical and Jessie Mueller (of the Carole King Musical), for Best Leading Actress in a Musical. (She did “I Feel The Earth Move” in a duet with King.) A full list of winners is here. Other winners included Bryan Cranston, for Best Leading Actor in a Play in “All the Way,” and Audra McDonald, for Best Leading Actress in a Play, “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill.”
Bryan Cranston’s play, “All The Way,” won for Best Play while “A Gentleman’s Guide to Murder” won best musical. “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” was awarded Best Revival of a Musical while “A Raisin in The Sun” was Best Revival of a Play. There was controversy over the fact that Denzel Washington wasn’t even nominated for best actor, something that director Kenny Leon alluded to in his speech for Best Director when he said “Denzel, Denzel, Denzel.”
Clint Eastwood announced the Best Director and Best Producer Tonys, and he stumbled over his lines and had visible trouble reading the teleprompter. An earlier bit, featuring Jackman and Idina Menzel steering Eastwood away from talking to a chair backstage, seemed to hit a little too close to home.
At the end of the night, Jackman directed all the Tony winners in the audience to come up on stage with him as he did a medley of hits including “On Broadway,” and “Lullaby of Broadway.” He of course started hopping and everyone joined him. It was an excellent bookend to an evening celebrating the best of live entertainment. I came away wishing that Jackman could host the Oscars again soon. The Academy Awards were never better than when Jackman hosted in 2009.

I’m sure this story is exaggerated for effect, but that’s not going to stop me from repeating it. In an appearance on the Graham Norton show, which airs tonight, superhero hunk Hugh Jackman said that he recently had to switch from genuine metal claws for his character Wolverine to plastic claws. The reason being that his manhood was in peril from a near miss with the metal claws. Here’s what he said:
High Jackman… was trying to protect his modesty while filming a naked scene for the upcoming superhero film when he nearly lost little Hugh permanently.
“There was a very intense first scene and I insisted on a closed set,” he told Graham Norton on his chat show. “I ran round the corner and all the female members of the crew were gathered there.
“I tried to cover myself and cut my inner thigh – it was just the inner thigh thankfully! The metal claws had to go – you can’t have bits and pieces flying off.”
The actor – who will soon be hosting this year’s Tony Awards – made the comment during his appearance on this week’s episode of The Graham Norton Show, where his co-star Michael Fassbender praised Hugh’s commitment to his gym routine and admitted his energy was infectious.
“His discipline is incredible – he is up and in the gym at 4.30 in the morning, every morning,” said Michael, slightly in awe. “When we arrived there was a Jackman effect and we all started training to try and keep up.”
Hugh spent 18 months in total toning up for his most recent stint as mutant Marvel Comics hero Wolverine, who possesses animal-keen senses and a capacity to heal quickly.
[From The Mirror]
I need to see more of the Graham Norton interview considering that Jackman, Fassbender AND McAvoy were there. Yes please. They were promoting X Men: Days of Future Past, of course, which is not out until May 23, damnit. I was hoping it was out sooner.
As for Jackman’s story, I imagine that the female crew members were all gathered in that particular location for a reason, amiright? I mean I would wait around for hours just for a chance to see Jackman shirtless. Tell me he’s naked and I’ll be at the film on opening night. (You know they’re not going to show the goods that were in peril, though. It’s only PG 13.)
There’s a new X Men Days of Future Past preview featuring Magneto and Charles Xavier, but beware that it’s slightly spoilery. Also another preview featuring Jennifer Lawrence and Peter Dinklage has also been released. Lawrence kicks some serious ass.

He?s always on the go it seems, and Hugh Jackman flew into Vancouver, Canada on Monday night (April 7) for some career duties.
The ?Les Miserables? hunk smiled as he towed his luggage through the airport, gearing up for re-shoots on his new film ?Chappie.?
Meanwhile, Jackman told Britain?s Press Association that he loves his ongoing role as Wolverine in the ?X-Men? movies, though if he were ever to retire, he?d like to see a certain ?Magic Mike? hunk take over the gig.
Hugh noted, "I don't know who could play [Wolverine], Channing Tatum could probably play him," adding, "[I?ll keep doing it] as long as it keeps going deeper, and there's a reason for another film and it's not just, 'Oh, let's see him again.? And If there's a really great script, a great director and a really good reason to play the part again. Otherwise, if I don't feel that ... then it's better to give the role to someone else."

Michael Fassbender likes to dance. We?re always hearing stories about him dancing his ginger off at premiere parties, and occasionally there are brilliant photos of The Bender dancing with The Batch (sidenote: when I write a torrid romance novel, it will be called The Bender & The Batch). So what happens when Dancing Fassy joins forces with a old-school song-and-dance man like Hugh Jackman? Something wonderful. And something sort of sketchy.
Actors Hugh Jackman and Michael Fassbender reportedly danced around to “Blurred Lines” in between takes for X-Men: Days of Future Past.
The 45-year-old actor told The Sun, “Michael was particularly enamored with the video to “Blurred Lines”.”
He added, “We’d strut about. I used to play the song in between takes on the X-Men set. It was a lot of fun. Everyone would just go into character and we’d be strutting around. It was identical to the video but we’d be mutants.”
It wasn’t just dancing either, Jackman added that they would sing along to the huge Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams hit, “I didn’t need to take the high bits. You’d be surprised what talented singers Michael and James [McAvoy] are. They could get up there.”
[From Celebuzz]
I would have preferred if Hugh and Michael were slow-dancing to ?These Arms of Mine? just because that would have been? perfection. Will you take this? Or is it dumb because it?s stupid ?Blurred Lines?? You have to remember, when they were filming X-Men: Days of Future Past, ?Blurred Lines? was super-popular and we weren?t intimately familiar with Robin Thicke?s skeeze.
