Hugh Jackman is one of the most good-looking actors in the showbiz industry who has fans from many genders. As he recently announced his divorce from wife Deborra-Lee Furness after being together for 27 years, their fans are shocked upon their split.

However, many times, Jackman’s sexuality has been questioned throughout his career, and his ex-wife has always given a befitting reply.

The internet did not waste any time in creating fake speculations about why the couple parted ways. Among many was the assumption that the Wolverine actor was gay. However, Hugh Jackman is not gay, as, in the past, his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness has always shut down the rumors. Despite his enduring and contented marriage to actress Deborra-Lee Furness since 1996,  the actor’s orientation has always been a topic of discussion.

How The Rumor of Hugh Jackman Being Gay Originated?

Hugh Jackman recalls performing in "The Boy From Oz," and the things he used to get away with:

"I brought up Barbara Walters and Matt Damon, and made Matt Damon give Barbara Walters a lap dance. Which turned into me giving Matt Damon a lap dance." https://t.co/3tJLeoN8DJ pic.twitter.com/Zqq8YuIWgb

In 2003, the Wolverine actor played the role of an openly gay singer-songwriter Peter Allen in the Broadway musical play The Boy from Oz.

The pictures of Hugh Jackman kissing his male co-star Jarrod Emick on stage fueled the theory of him being gay, and ever since, it has been linked with the former couple. It was because of his remarkable performance which led people to question whether Jackman’s convincing portrayal hinted at his concealed sexuality towards the same sex.

The fake rumor caught more fire when Hugh Jackman forged friendships with openly gay celebrities like Ian McKellen, Neil Patrick Harris, and Andy Cohen. Many tabloids and gossip magazines crossed the line as they talked about the fake rumors of him being with these men and even co-stars like Zac Efron and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Certain publications went way ahead as they reportedly mentioned that his marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness was a facade, and she was serving as a “beard” to mask his true sexual orientation.

Jackman’s ex-wife was questioned about him being gay, and she shut down the rumors in style. She vehemently defended her ex-husband and their previous marriage against these rumors, calling them deeming, offensive and disrespectful while highlighting their basis in stereotypes and ignorance. 

In a conversation on Anh’s Brush with Fame in 2020, Furness quipped of her then-husband, “He’s been gay so many years. I was gay, too. You know when I did ‘Shame’? I was gay. They were shocked when I got married.”

She later put the jokes aside to reiterate that the persistent badgering was just wrong. “It’s like someone saying to Elton John, ‘He’s straight.’ I’m sure he’d be pissed,” said Deborra-Lee Furness at the time.

While the fake rumor did not hamper the 27 years of marriage between Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness, it is a shock that the couple has parted ways. Let us know in the comments what you think about why the couple ended their marriage.

Hugh Jackman will be reprising his role as Wolverine in the Deadpool 3 movie, which is all set to be released on May 3, 2024.
