Hugh Jackman's Exciting Journey and His Family's Mixed Feelings

Let me tell you, Hugh Jackman is absolutely buzzing with excitement as he gears up for a massive world tour for his one-man show. It’s a dream come true for the talented star, but it seems like his family might be feeling a little... well, overwhelmed. Hugh recently opened up about how his wife, the incredible Deborra-Lee Furness, and their kids, Oscar and Ava, are getting a bit tired of hearing the soundtrack from "The Greatest Showman." Can you blame them? That music has been on repeat for years!

Hugh, who is now 54, jokingly told NME, “It’s not really my world. I’m not a recording artist; I’ve done a few cast albums, so my kids and even my wife are getting so sick of it.” He laughed, saying they’re like, “It’s the 20th week at No. 1!” But here’s the thing—Hugh is still thrilled about it. The movie first hit theaters in December 2017, and the hype hasn’t slowed down one bit. It’s like the gift that keeps on giving!

Hugh Jackman Defends "The Greatest Showman" Amid Criticism

Now, let’s talk about "The Greatest Showman." Despite some critics not being fans, the film became a massive blockbuster. Fans absolutely adored it, and Hugh even stepped up to defend it when some viewers criticized its "commercial" aspects. He told NME, “If I invented chocolate ice cream and people came up to me and said, ‘I hate chocolate,’ then alright—that’s OK.” He added, “In the end, I’m a storyteller. I’m an actor who tells stories. Some people didn’t like 'The Greatest Showman,' and that’s fine with me.” Hugh is all about creating something people can enjoy, and it’s clear he’s done just that.
