Hugh Jackman's Divorce Is Reportedly Going To Involve 'Big Bombshells' About His Life

Nobody was expecting Hugh Jackman’s divorce announcement from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, but the shocking split had all of Hollywood reeling. As he starts his new chapter in life, the 54-year-old actor’s next step may surprise a few of his fans — Jackman is reportedly writing a memoir.

Even though Jackman is an A-list star, he and Furness did a great job keeping their personal life and their children, Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18, out of the headlines. So, the rumored news about publishing his personal journey is a curious one. An Us Weekly insider divulged that the Wolverine star “is in the early stages of writing it,” but there is a specific reason for why Jackman thinks it is the right time to open up. “Hugh’s choosing to [write this book] now because he’s finally [being] honest with himself [and] the divorce, and this book is the first step,” they noted.

While he will likely talk more intimately about why he and Furness called it quits after almost three decades together, the source is also teasing that the memoir will include “big bombshells.” That little bit of tea alone is enough to get every tabloid speculating about the revelations in Jackman’s book. “The content will be Hugh speaking about his life,” the insider said. “He’ll be opening up about his life like never before. It’s been very healing for him.”

Jackman has lightly touched on going to therapy to finally work through the decades-long issues stemming from the exit of his mother, Grace McNeil, from his young life. She left when he was only eight years old. “I just started it recently,” he told Who magazine, via Today, in December 2022. “It helped me a lot. We all need a village. Most importantly, it’s helping me to be more relational with the people I love in my life, and really understanding and living in their shoes and being clear to be able to see them.”

While there is currently no official announcement about the book, nor a publication date, fans might be seeing an entirely new side to Jackman once his jaw-dropping memoir is published.

So is he finally going to come out?

by Anonymousreply 1October 5, 2023 6:45 PM

Ok, ok. Before it comes out, I’ll just tell you.

One time while I was bulking up for a Wolverine job, I slipped on a banana peel in a men’s locker room and as I fell, a penis accidentally ended up in my mouth. For an hour. And then it just kept happening. At least two or three thousand more times. And sometimes it wasn’t my mouth.

There. HAPPY NOW?

I doubt he will come out as he still has many more years of career ahead of him. Perhaps he will write a late in life autobiography like Richard Chamberlain and unburden himself then.

I don't think he will remarry/rebeard. I don't know if he will go the PR fake relationship dating route either. He will claim to still be "healing" from the divorce and not ready to date for several years to come until the media stops being interested.

[quote] X-Men Producer John Palermo Goes on Racist Rant, Calls Out Kanye West, Julie Chen and Anderson Cooper

X-Men producer John Palermo is in hot water after making several shocking racist comments on his Facebook (which has since been taken down).

Palermo, who's known for working as Hugh Jackman's producing partner, called out celebs like Kanye West, Julie Chen and Anderson Cooper on his page last month in a racist rant.

Referencing Chen's plastic surgery shocker on The Talk, Palermo wrote on Sept. 12 (via THR), "I'm crazy about Julie Chen!!! Now that her eyes are finally open, she should leave [husband] Monster Moonves."

The same day, he took on news that Kim Kardashian and West had bought a Bel-Air mansion, posting, "There goes the neighborhood!!! It looks like a Poor Persian Palace, where's Kris Jenner when you need her?! #MoneyCantBuyADumbN----Class."

Additionally, Palermo made a homophobic joke (not a funny one) about Cooper attending his boyfriend's recent bar opening in NYC, simply writing, "#SmellsLikeLubeAndHIV."

While Palermo isn't directly defending his racist remarks, he told E! News earlier today, "Ever since the Emmys I have canceled my Facebook account because it is so easy for things to be misread."

He also confessed to THR, "I stopped caring about what Hollywood thinks of me years ago. I've got nothing to lose, nothing to gain. I'm a bored dude, unemployed, sitting at home in the Valley. For me, some of the best ways to overcome serious issues is to laugh about them. Because then you truly understand where that ignorance is coming from."

It seems like bad timing to come out. It’s way, WAY past the time when it would have seemed brave or supportive of the gay community. And straight people are just eye rolling at bi, queer, fluid at this point.

The schtick about his mom leaving seems like a set up for a story about how his wife was a replacement mother for a poor confused young man but it’s hard to believe Furness would sign off on that strategy and I would assume they are on the same page. Plus, he’s just way too old for that to make him seem sympathetic.

OTOH, R7 makes a good point and what does he really have to gain from teasing this if he’s not going to actually do it? And maybe Furness is old enough to not care about being cast in the mother/wife role. But I think that would be a bad move.

If he’s going to do it, he needs to follow through and do it big. Not too much easing into it or pretending he didn’t realize he was gay until a month ago. Just admit he was faking it and explain that the marriage was a sham in one sense, but it worked for them and they love each other so it never seemed like the right time to stop. And flat out admit that aging past leading man roles was part of the decision making process. Basically, “Yeah, I lied. And I’m not apologizing for it.” I think that would work.

[quote] Hugh Jackman Allegedly Wants Estranged Wife To Sign ‘Ironclad’ NDA Amid Divorce To Protect His ‘Secrets’

New reports have revealed that Hugh Jackman is making moves to get his estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

The two are gearing up for a divorce after being married for 27 years and welcoming two kids, Oliver and Ava.

Jackman reportedly wants Furness to sign the NDA to prevent Furness from discussing their relationship. The actor is also ready to give Furness a large part of his $100 million fortune if she agrees to the NDA.

According to reports, "Deadpool 3" star Jackman, wants Furness to sign an "ironclad" NDA amid their ongoing plans to end their marriage of almost three decades officially.

It comes after they announced their separation publicly, suggesting that they reached the decision jointly.

Now, the NDA proposed by the "Wolverine" actor is supposedly to keep his estranged wife from talking about their time together in interviews, memoirs, or other possible outlets.

Reports indicate that Jackman is motivated by his desire for privacy, as he is known to be a very private individual and is wary of having any of his numerous secrets exploited by the media.

"This move is less about the financial aspect and more about retaining control," an insider told the National Enquirer, per Radar Online.

The source added, "Hugh's concern has never been money, but rather control. He's a man with lots of secrets and doesn't want any of them exposed."

In the meantime, it is unclear whether Furness is in agreement with signing an NDA, as she has yet to. However, reports have claimed that Jackman is willing to sacrifice a significant portion of his $100 million estate if Furness will append her signature.

"Let's just say Deb will not need to worry about getting a job," an insider said about the situation. "She'll have enough money for the rest of her life — if she signs an airtight non-disclosure agreement."

The insider also shared that the duo did not sign a prenup at the start of the marriage, which would have legally restricted the amount of money Furness could get.

The source continued, "They do not have a prenup and he is poised to be exceedingly generous with his $100 million fortune, provided she accedes to his stipulations."

Back in September, Jackman and Furness shocked the world by announcing that they were going their separate ways.

They shared the decision in a joint statement that noted how "blessed" they were to have spent almost three decades together as "husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage."

The duo also told the public that their "journey now is shifting" toward focusing on "individual growth." However, their children, Oscar, aged 23, and Ava, aged 18, continue to be their "highest priority."

Jackman and Furness further mentioned that there would be no other public statement about the divorce, suggesting that the separation would be handled amicably.

They added: "We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives. This is the sole statement either of us will make."

Per reports, Jackman and Furness's separation has been a long time coming, and their announcement was just a public confirmation of how much they had grown apart.

According to the Daily Mail, the COVID pandemic "really put a strain on their relationship," leaving it "broken" by the time restrictions were lifted.

Initially, both Jackman and Furness attempted to work through their marital issues, providing each other with an opportunity to reconcile. However, the recent Hollywood writers' strike posed another setback that drew them further apart.

Ultimately, they decided on what they deemed the next "best option," which was for them to divorce and remain friends.

A source told the news outlet: "They worked on it and couldn't get it back…..Hugh found it all to not have the same magic as they once had. Deb had similar concerns and thoughts, and separating is the best option."

Where are divorce proceedings taking place? If it's in California, money isn't an incentive for her to sign an NDA since all assets are community property to be split equally if there's no prenup.

A "memoir" allows the writer to play fast and loose with timelines and events. It should be a serious biography about HJ, with his permission but in a professional style.

Celebrities who can sell their stories on their names rather than on nostalgia, don’t really do authorised biographies. And authorised biographies seem to be something that estates hand over to a biographer.

Harry, Britney and Jessica Simpson reaped the rewards of hiring some of the best ghost writers in the business to mould their lives into something readable.

Some celebrities (esp comics) who write - Jennette McCurdy, Alan Cumming - don’t have ghosts. Hugh Jackman has a journalism degree. There’s no evidence that he is a writer in terms of him creating his own material. And he seems like an intelligent man, but intelligence has nothing to do with writing ability. But given how secretive he is, his history of childhood trauma and his mother issues, he would do well to hire someone who can shape the story he wants to tell.

Could they possibly have mentioned that he has a $100 million fortune more times in that article?

Which makes me suspect his attorneys are trying to hide a much higher value.

by Anonymousreply 112November 8, 2023 9:32 AM

It makes sense if he does actually want to date men and not have to hide it that he'd come out in a book where he can control the narrative and pepper it in with tales about homophobia and bullying he has faced to gain maximum sympathy.

Deborah-Lee will be on Australian TV tomorrow night (Thursday) but it's on The Project so it will be light-weight. No revelations. The fawning panelists will will be saying how saddened they are by the breakup and DL will be reassuring them about what a great guy Hugh is.

It'll be stuff like they hadn't had sex in years and, of course, steroid use while working out for Wolverine. But, the steroid use will be pinned on "studio execs" without naming them who demanded he get more ripped.

I don't think the timing is all that big a surprise since their youngest kid is now 18.

Agree, R40. He'll go fluid rather than full-homo. Everyone saves face that way.

It'll be interesting what he says about Bryan Singer. I can't imagine anyone being employed on his sets unless they were okay with what - allegedly - was going on.

That said, I like Hugh and his missus. What worked for them shouldn't matter, but I do understand that it still does.

I've always thought it strange that an NDA could cover criminal acts and that, if you testify in court to a criminal act, you could be found to be in violation of an NDA.

I thought that a contract for a criminal act was not enforceable, so why would what would technically be a conspiracy be valid to include in an NDA.

I have worked with him. He is one of the nicest people I have encountered in the biz....considerate, down to earth, and generous. No "star" arrogant shit. His wife was always with him and they were great together...behind the scenes. I did a show with him around Pride and he couldn't have been more ally-ish, speaking from the stage (MSG). I never saw any gay stuff happening, but maybe it is really behind a closet door. I disdain closeted stars but if he is one, which I don't know and neither do you, he couldn't be more supportive. Such a positive wonderful man.

Like Travolta, he's obviously bisexual, he's done everything except come out in an AC/DC tee shirt. Narcicissm is a powerful aphrodisiac and of course, with Sutton, anything goes.

by Anonymousreply 147November 12, 2023 10:40 AM

Is Travolta bisexual, though?

Is Hugh?

I almost want to say NO.

Hugh has no biological kids of his own, which on the surface would imply that he might possibly have never had sex with a woman.

This is a perfect opportunity for Hugh to come out of the closet.

If he doubles down and keeps pretending that he's straight, then it's pretty much a guarantee that he will never come out.

by Anonymousreply 150November 12, 2023 2:30 PM

There's no way he's only worth $100 million--he's gotta be worth at least twice that with all those Wolverine movies. I'm sure he demanded percentages plus huge salaries for the last few.

What actually happened between him and John Palermo? Did they have a bitter, ballistic falling out? Did John ever get married a la Kevin Lanflisi (Aaron Rodgers' bf)? I'm assuming John signed one of those NDAs as well.

If Hugh really is gay (or bi), he must be very, very discreet. Honestly, has no one ever seen a bf or a trick leaving his apartment or hotel room early in the morning and reported it to the tabloids? With phone cameras now, it's so easy to snap a pic and sell it to the tabloids.

If he's truly gay, he must have the willpower of Hercules. Being around all those cute, half-dressed, gay chorus boys backstage and he's never copped a feel or grabbed an ass or a dick or 2 (or 100)? Even if they've all signed NDA's, one of them could "leak"(pun intended) the dirt to the media anynonomously. Would they refuse to report it based on anynonomous sources?

He wasn't THAT discreet, if there are photos like this on the internet.

Although Hugh would never drop a bombshell like this in his memoir, trust and believe that there probably are some REAL bombshells in his sex life, that could be exposed.

I remember when John Palermo was Hugh's "assistant," he actually lived with Hugh and Deborah in the same house.

Which obviously made it much easier for them to be intimate with each other, and not be visible to prying eyes.

(PS, I find it hilarious that Hugh and John named their joint company "SEED PRODUCTIONS")

$100 million sounds about right and pretty good to me. He's never been in blockbusters. The X-Men franchise films were profitable but not blockbusters. He probably made more money in "The Music Man" on Broadway.

Are they still screwing around with this tired old rumor? IMO no bombshells will leak out if it is an "amicable" divorce. I would think they will sit down with a arbitration team, and negotiate a settlement agreement mutually agreed upon, and it won't even need a court. When my sister got her divorce she and her ex hashed out the agreement it was filed with the court, and boom. All done. It took less than 60 days.
