There have been rumors swirling this week that Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster have been having a secret romance, but her latest Instagram post seems to debunk those claims.
A report from In Touch claims that “their romance is an open secret on Broadway.” The report added that Hugh “has been besotted with Sutton from the moment he met her. He followed her around like a puppy!”
If you didn’t know, Hugh and Sutton worked together on the Broadway musical The Music Man. The production was set to open in 2020, but then was delayed because of the pandemic. It began performances in December 2021 and then closed in January 2023 after a massively successful run.

Hugh Jackman has been playing the role of Wolverine since 2000's "X-Men." We all thought he was done after "Logan," but he'll be back in the upcoming film "Deadpool 3." While we wait with bated breath for this magical event, it's weird to think about what the X-Men landscape would look like if someone else had played the role of the mutant with the adamantium skeleton and grouchy attitude. Since that first film, he's been the heart of the X-Men ... at least for me. He questions why things are done, is willing to go into battle no matter what, and his hair has those two little tufts. I ask you, how can you resist?
As it turns out, as ubiquitous as Jackman is in the role, it wasn't a guarantee, despite the fact that he'd already been cast and the film was starting to shoot, as he said during...

Actor Ryan Reynolds took to social media to address a plea to fans where he urged them to refrain from spoilers for the highly anticipated film, Deadpool 3, currently in production.
Reynolds’ appeal came in response to a significant spoiler leak, which stemmed from a set photo that made its way online.
Reynolds, known for his wit and humor, didn’t stop at a simple request.
Instead, he decided to combat the leaks when he shared a fake set of photos on social media platforms.
These photos featured Deadpool in unlikely scenarios, such as a hangout out with Mickey Mouse and a bag of money, alongside Predator, and even with the character Urkel.
Reynolds went as far as to include references to Seth Meyers‘ cue card handler Wally Feresten and the now-defunct streaming platform Quibi.
In a post to X, Reynolds humorously wrote, “Deadpool began with a leak. So I’m joining in.

No hostage left behind.
So many of your favorite stars have come together to thank President Biden for his efforts in working to peace amid the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Amid the news that two American hostages and two Israeli hostages have been released from captivity, Hollywood heavyweights are hoping for the safe return of the 220 innocent people who are still being held hostage by Hamas.
“We are heartened by Friday’s release of the two American hostages, Judith Ranaan and her daughter Natalie Ranaan and by today’s release of two Israelis, Nurit Cooper and Yocheved Lifshitz, whose husbands remain in captivity,” the letter read.
The letter continued, “But our relief is tempered by our overwhelming concern that 220 innocent people, including 30 children, remain captive by terrorists, threatened with torture and death. They were taken by Hamas in the savage massacre of October 7, where over 1,400 Israelis were slaughtered – women raped, families burned alive,...

Hugh Jackman thought he hung up his claws for good as Wolverine after Logan. But he was worried that he didn’t give his character a worthy send-off.
Hugh Jackman wasn’t sure he pulled off his last Wolverine movie until he saw it Hugh Jackman | Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Jackman’s decision to retire Wolverine inspired him to develop Logan. The movie was very much unlike most films involving the character, and was the first time Wolverine was featured in a rated R film. In an interview with BBC, Jackman revealed that even he was surprised the studio greenlit the project.
“I was very clear this was the last one when we were making it,” Jackman said. “I don’t think I could’ve made this movie unless I knew that. This was the version of the movie I wanted to make – and I was surprised the studio said yes...

Hugh Jackman, 54, and Deborra-lee Furness, 67, have separated after 27 years of marriage.
In a statement, the couple shared, “We have been blessed to share almost three 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.”

Jackman and Furness announced Friday in a joint statement that they were going their separate ways.
Hugh Jackman went about his business one day after he and his wife of nearly three decades announced they are separating.
The “Wolverine” star was spotted out and about Saturday morning in New York City walking alone and looking pensive. The 54-year-old dressed casual in a black T-shirt, black jeans and black sneakers. He also wore shades and sported his trademark beard.
The one thing Jackman wasn’t wearing was his wedding ring, though it’s not the first time he’s been seen without the gold band. In a video obtained by TMZ, Jackman said he didn’t feel quite right talking about Deborra-Lee Furness after a photographer asked him what she’s pursuing amid the separation.

Steven Spielberg and wife Kate Capshaw have donated $1.5 Million in support of striking writers and actors, and others affected by the work stoppages, Deadline has learned.
The funds, dispersed since the WGA went on strike in May, have been split between the Entertainment Community Fund and the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s Emergency Financial Assistance Program. Both have sought to keep entertainment industry workers afloat amidst the strikes by way of emergency financial assistance to cover basic living expenses, mental heath support and more.
The Entertainment Community Fund had distributed more than $6.5M to over 3,100 film and television workers, as of September 8. The SAG-AFTRA Foundation, meanwhile, has thus far doled out $2.5M in financial assistance.
Spielberg and Capshaw are just the latest to make major donations to the Entertainment Community Fund, on the heels of A-list creatives like Seth MacFarlane. Among others notables who have written sizable checks to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation are George and Amal Clooney,...

Hugh Jackman has had to do a lot of stunts in his career, especially when playing the very physical anti-hero Wolverine. But there was one incident where Jackman thought his stunt almost caused him serious injury.
Hugh Jackman is used to getting injured doing ‘X-Men’ stunts Hugh Jackman | Kristy Sparow/WireImage
Given that the X-Men films are so action-packed, it’s no wonder why Jackman often does his own stunts. But the actor once reminded that doing stunts for these movies often come with a certain amount of physical risk.
In the past, the Deadpool 3 star sustained his fair share of bruises doing stunts. But for The Wolverine and X-Men Days of Future Past, Jackman had far less injuries than he did in previous X-Men films. Despite being older.
“I do a lot of my own stuff, except the stupid stuff like bashing your head against walls or crashing cars and all that jazz.

How Hugh Jackman got into Wolverine shape in the past Hugh Jackman | Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Jackman has shown that his workout for the role of Wolverine requires a lot of dedication and focus. Because of this, the actor used to stay in reasonable shape as much as possible. Doing so made it easier to gain the muscles he needed to reprise the role for a film.
“It’s too hard to get in shape from scratch, and it’s easier to stay in shape than to get in shape. … For Wolverine I really up the training,” Jackman once told the LA Times. “Right now I do about...

Los Angeles, Feb 26 (Ians) Hollywood star Hugh Jackman, who has 22-year-old Oscar and 17-year-old Ava with his wife Deborra-Lee Furness, believes that teenagers are now facing more pressures than ever before.
Jackman told Sky News: “It’s so hard to be a teenager, and I think particularly with the pandemic, I think it’s incredibly difficult, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
“There’s social media, all these things that are so different from what we grew up with. It was hard for me growing up as a teenager – it’s a really difficult time for any kid, I think – but I would say right now it’s the hardest it’s ever been … that’s my sense of it.”

X-Men made him a star; now The Son is giving him a shot at an Oscar. The actor talks about family, superheroes and the sexual misconduct claims against director Bryan Singer
Hugh Jackman is feeling reflective. It’s easy to understand why. In his latest film, The Son, he plays an absentee, workaholic father struggling to help his estranged and acutely depressed teenage son. The role changed Jackman, he says, “as a man, as an actor, as a father, as a husband”. Such a part would inspire a period of introspection for most parents, let alone soon-to-be empty nesters such as Jackman, 54, and his wife, the actor and producer Deborra-Lee Furness. Also, towards the end of production, his father died.
“We were close,” says Jackman. “Here’s a great way to describe my relationship with my dad: we could go to Test cricket and be totally comfortable sitting together, and...

Ever since Hugh Jackman finally ended his reign as the fan-favorite character Wolverine in 2017 with James Mangold's acclaimed, R-rated magnum opus "Logan," speculation has been building as to whether or not he'll ever rock the adamantium claws again. When it debuted, the original "X-Men" film felt like a breath of fresh air for the superhero genre, but in retrospect, the entire franchise has been a little bit of a disappointment. Jackman had tried for years to get something made that truly lived up to the potential of the character and took full advantage of his quality chops (pun intended) as an actor. The abysmal "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" was the result.
Finally, "Logan" delivered a fully fleshed out, breathtaking spectacle that showed an older, melancholy Wolvie searching for one last chance at redemption. After that success, it must have been difficult for Jackman to hang it up, so he turned...

This is a story about grief in New York. Hugh Jackman’s father died while he was making “The Son.” But instead of taking time off, Jackman kept playing Peter, a workaholic struggling to take care of his family: a new baby, a partner and a teenage son, Nicholas, suffering from a frightening depression. Jackman, 54, related to Peter as both a father of two kids and as a son. Jackman’s dad raised him after his mother abandoned their family in Australia when Jackman was 8. Jackman visited his father, who’d been living with Alzheimer’s for 12 years, right before shooting his first scene as Peter.
“He was nearing the end,” Jackman says over a recent lunch in downtown Manhattan, where he lives with his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness. “So he was ostensibly gone, mentally. He would still smile a bit. I didn’t know he was going to physically pass away,...

It's wild to remember a time when making a superhero movie wasn't a safe bet. It's perhaps even more wild to think back to a time when certain comic fans were upset about Hugh Jackman's casting as Wolverine because the then-unknown Australian actor was too tall. It's true that the Wolverine of Marvel Comics isn't nearly as tall or as handsome as Jackman, but why shouldn't Wolvie get the Hollywood treatment?
These days it's impossible to imagine anyone else in the role Jackman so fully embodied for nearly two decades. In fact, the recent news of his return to the part in the upcoming "Deadpool 3" caused quite a stir. While some fans were over the moon, others were nervous that reprising the role would cheapen Wolverine's swan song in 2017's "Logan."
