You know what they say … age ain’t nothing but a number. In the world of Hollywood, there are plenty of couples with large age gaps, like George and Amal Clooney and Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. And guess what? Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, also have a big age gap — 13 years, to be exact. In this case, Furness happens to be the older party, but Jackman doesn’t really think of it that way. In fact, he says he is the one who feels a lot older. “Anyone that knows Deb, literally, I am the old fuddy-duddy of the relationship,” he told Katie Couric (via News 24). “She has two speeds: stop and go. She is always, ‘Let’s do this, let’s do that.’ And she is very funny, very quick.”
Jackman shared the same sentiments in an interview with People. “I’m literally the adult in the relationship. She’s just like a little kid. I’m the [one saying], ‘Babe, this is not a legal parking spot.’ ‘Oh, come on, Mr. Goody- Goody,'” he shared. In turn, Furness confessed that though she and her husband are madly in love, she gets pretty annoyed by everyone thinking that she hit the jackpot and making comments about how she landed such a handsome and successful man. “Lucky! Like I won a chook raffle,” she said on “Anh’s Brush with Fame.” “People don’t realize it’s actually rude to say that.” You tell ’em, sister!
