Hugh Jackman Has the Sweetest Things to Say About His Wife

Hugh Jackman poses for photos while attending a screening of his new film Eddie the Eagle on Tuesday night (February 2) at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema in New York City.

The 47-year-old actor was joined at the event by such celeb pals as Sting, Caroline Rhea, and director Paul Haggis, among others.

Hugh was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week and opened up about meeting his wife Deborra-Lee Furness.

“I met her on my first job. She was the star. I was so embarrassed about it that I didn’t talk to her for a week. So, I had a dinner party, and invited her and about 20 other people over. I’d had a couple [drinks], and I said, ‘I’ve got a crush on you,’” Hugh said.

“She’s the greatest thing that has ever happened to me,” he added. “I can honestly say that.”
