Hugh and his family

Actor Hugh Jackman had married Deborra-Lee in Melbourne in 1996. He had met her on the set of the Australian TV show ‘Correlli’. They could not have children.

Their natural and in vitro fertilization (IVF) trials failed. They ultimately decided to adopt children and Ava and Oscar are their adopted children.

Speaking of them, Hugh Jackman said:

“I don’t think of them as adopted – they’re our children,”

Ava was welcomed into the family in 2005. Talking about his son who was born in 2000, Hugh Jackman revealed that his son feels that he is neither tough nor cool like his character Wolverine.

Hugh Jackman is a total family man. He recently revealed that in spite of their busy schedules, he is never away from his wife for more than two weeks. His wife, 61 is his partner in the production line.

Hugh Jackman called her ‘the greatest woman alive’. Hugh Jackman was on ITV’s show ‘Lorraine’ to promote his latest musical project ‘The Greatest Showman’ which is scheduled for Christmas day release.

Hugh Jackman admitted that Deborra-Lee is his biggest support both in his personal and professional life, and his best friend. He said:

“She’s amazing. We’re best friends, and we share everything. She’s smart.”

He continued:

“But we met on my first job when she was already a big star, I was a nobody. So we have shared everything, all the ups and downs, and always will.”

He added:

“This character is made for me. It’s about hope and power of imagination, a true rags to riches story. My dreams as a kid were to be a rock star so this was really great.”

The actor said that his daughter also approved of the project. He also said that his Wolverine character is not yet over and it will return just like James Bond or Batman.

Hugh Jackman’s repeated skin cancer

Hugh Jackman has some health issues. He has been suffering from recurrent skin cancers. The first time was in November 2013 with a bleeding nose.

He consulted a doctor who diagnosed skin cancer and excised it. The second time it was like a freckle but cancerous. He had his sixth cancer removed from his nose in February 2017.

He gets his skin checked every three months to rule out basal cell carcinoma. He uses sunscreens but says that the cancer was supposed to be his not using the sunscreens when he was small.

However, the handsome hunk does try to stay positive about his health. He also thanked his doctors whom he thought are doing an amazing job.

Basal cell carcinoma is a slow-growing cancer and rarely spreads to other body parts. It is the most common form of skin cancer. In 50% of those diagnosed, cancer may recur within 5 years.

This cancer develops in sun-exposed areas such as the face and neck. Though not invasive, it can turn aggressive and hence needs treatment in the form of surgical excision.
