Hugh Jackman: Fans think I'm gay

Actor's wife Deborra-Lee Furness puts fans straight

Hugh Jackman is a family man

Hugh Jackman isn't bothered about the speculation surrounding his sexuality.

The actor has been dogged by suggestions he's homosexual ever since he starred as gay entertainer Peter Allen in musical The Boy From Oz in 2003.

‘There was a fairly substantial rumour going round about my sexuality. I only know that because my wife told me,’ Hugh tells the Telegraph Magazine.

‘Every time she would go to the ladies she’d hear people saying, “Is he or isn’t he?” She’d yell out, “He isn’t!” I just took it as a compliment [about my acting] to be honest.'

Hugh, 40, has been married to actress Deborra-Lee Furness since February 1996.

The couple are parents to adopted children Oscar Maximilian, 8, and Ava Eliot, 3.
