Hugh Jackman wants to get married again following his separation from estranged wife Deborra-Lee Furness, a source exclusively tells Closer, adding that the Tony Award-winning actor is looking for something much different this time around.
In fact, the source reveals Hugh, 55, is dreaming of an Amal Clooney type to help him change the world and branch out from the glitz and glam of Hollywood.
"The No. 1 problem Hugh and Deb had during their decades together is that Hugh's career and his ambitions always became the center of their life together, even when they were doing everything in their power to keep that from being the case," details a longtime Hollywood pal.
Their life in the spotlight "just became unavoidable," the source adds, "because of the success Hugh kept having and the incredible effort and work ethic he would bring into anything he took on."
Closer's source reveals Hugh is looking to shake things up and settle down with someone who is more along the lines of George Clooney's wife, who made a name for herself as a lawyer and human rights activist.
"He needs an Amal Clooney type, and he knows it: somebody who doesn't eat, drink and breathe showbusiness 24/7 and who actually thinks about the bigger picture the way Hugh does," the source reveals.
"Hugh personally is not a careerist," the insider adds of the stage star, who is often raising money for various charities like Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. "He'd be fine if all the stardom went away tomorrow, and he really wants to find somebody who can help him make the world a better place and put the good will he's earned after 25 years in Hollywood to work for something more than his personal stardom."
