Hugh Jackman’s separation from wife Deborra-Lee Furness is currently making waves on the internet, overshadowing any news about him reprising the role of Wolverine in Deadpool 3. The couple, who had been married for almost 30 years, recently announced their divorce, much to the surprise of their fans. It is interesting to note that this news comes as Jackman is set to revive the character of Logan.
It’s worth mentioning that Deborra-Lee Furness didn’t initially like the character of Wolverine when it was offered to Jackman. In fact, she found the idea of the character ridiculous on paper. Jackman himself acknowledged this in the past.
According to a report by We Got This Covered, Jackman’s association with Wolverine has become so strong that the studio apparently hired Daniel Radcliffe just to explain the actor’s prominence in the role. Despite his wife’s initial reservations, Jackman went on to play Wolverine for 17 years before retiring from the role in Logan.
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness recently confirmed their decision to separate after spending 27 years together. They released a statement to People, expressing their gratitude for the almost 3 decades of marriage and emphasizing that their family will remain their top priority. They requested privacy as they navigate this transition and concluded by stating that this will be their only statement on the matter.
