I love Hugh Jackman




I love Hugh Jackman. And it is not because he is one of the sexiest men alive (A “People” magazine survey) or he portrays such beautiful characters with so much conviction or he has its own style of humor that tickles your insides both on-screen and off. Sure those things make him a great actor, a treat to watch…but that’s not why I love Hugh Jackman.

The reason that makes Hugh Jackman so loveable is Deborah Lee Fumes. If your asking “who Deborra Lee Furness”..his wife, his better half. Hugh and Deborra met on the sets of “Correlli” an Australian TV series in which Hugh had the lead role. If you have seen Deborra, you will agree she is not “a pretty face”…not one that you would even look at twice in a crowd. She was also 18 years older than him…and no she did not come with any money or inheritance. So when the couple married in 1996 I believe it was truly for love. A marriage that stands its ground even after 14 years and is as strong as ever. Even in a place like Manhattan….Even in a setting like Hollywood.

Even after the wedding everything the couple has braved so many storms. Deborra miscarried twice and after which she was unable to conceive. Both of them were not the kind to lose heart. They adopted Oscar (born in 2000) and then Eva (born in 2005). And one just has to see them with the kids or hear Hugh raving about their latest exploits to one and all to know how much these two truly love the kids. The couple also does many promotions to encourage people to adopt. Their production company the Fox-based “Seed Productions” makes modest budget films to harness the talent in Hugh’s native country Australia. He believes he owes it to Australia to do so.

When Hugh and Deborra where getting married Hugh personally designed their engagement and wedding rings. The wedding rings bore a Sanskrit inscription "Om paramar mainamar” which Deborra translates as "we dedicate our union to a greater source." And by all that they have done till today, they have lived by this vow…dedicating their union to a greater source as well as cause.

So yes, Hugh Jackman is a sexy guy, great actor, immensely talented, but what makes you fall in love with him…is his love story. It just makes him a beautiful person inside out.
