Hugh Jackman has once again spoken out about the “frustrating” rumours he is gay.
In an interview with 60 Minutes, the 44-year-old actor dismissed the gossip about his sexuality but said the constant speculation was upsetting for his wife of 17 years Deborra-Lee Furness, 57.
“If I was [gay], I would be,” Hugh said. “It’s to me not the most interesting thing about a person anyway, but I do get frustrated for Deb, because I see Deb go ‘Ah, this is crazy’.”
Deborra-Lee, who appeared alongside her husband in the interview, admitted she found the rumours “offensive” because they implied her marriage was a “sham”.
”It is just wrong, it’s like, it’s a lie,” said Furness, sitting alongside her husband. “It’s just offensive. If he was gay, fine, he would say he’s gay. It has gotten so out of whack … it’s stupid, yeah, it’s annoying, because it’s not true.”
Hugh and Deborra-Lee raise two adopted children together.
