Hugh Jackman: I support Madonna adoption

Actor sympathises with singer

Hugh Jackman adores daughter Ava

Hugh Jackman has defended Madonna's attempt to adopt another child from Malawi.

The actor, 40, who has 2 adopted kids with wife Deborra-Lee Furness, 48, thinks Madge only had good intentions.

‘I challenge anyone who thinks you adopt a kid for a publicity stunt,’ he says.

‘Any parent knows that would have to be the most intensive publicity stunt in the world. I am sure she is coming from a good place.’

Madonna, who is mum to Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, and adopted son David Banda, 4, was recently denied the right to give a home to Malawi-born Mercy James.

Despite Hugh’s words of support, he has no plans to expand his own family any time soon.

‘We think about another adoption,' Hugh tells The Sun.

'Then every time we get on a plane with our two kids and are all crammed in together, we think maybe we will leave it at what we have.'
