Deborra-Lee Furness just addressed another rumor that has plagued her and husband Hugh Jackman’s personal lives for years. The Aussie-born star appeared on an episode of “Not an Overnight Success,” where she talked about a wide-range of topics, including some pesky rumors that Jackman may be gay. “I mean, hello guys — if he was gay, he could be gay!” she said. “He didn’t have to hide in the closet anymore, and he’d be dating Brad Pitt, or whatever,” Furness added. “Not that Brad’s gay, but you know what I’m saying!”
She added, “It’s so silly, and then people perpetuate silly things, and it’s boring.” We can only imagine. Gus Worland, who hosts the podcast, also asked Furness how she and Jackman feel about watching each other during love scenes. Plain and simple, she called the situation of watching a significant other with someone else “weird,” adding that the scenes aren’t fun or sexy to film since you usually have a light in your face.
But at the end of the day, there’s no doubt that through all the rumors and awkward love scenes, Furness is Jackman’s biggest supporter and vice versa. In April, Jackman shared a sweet post on Instagram to commemorate the couple’s 26th anniversary, which may as well be a lifetime in Hollywood. “Every single day is filled with so much laughter, joy and backgammon!!!! Deb you light up my life,” he wrote. “I love you with all my heart!” Ugh, how cute are these two?
