Hugh Jackman reveals the slogan he lives by every day as he gets set to celebrate 20th wedding anniversary with Deborra-Lee Furness
He's the Hollywood heartthrob who gushes about his wife every chance he gets. And on Wednesday at the white carpet premiere for his new film Eddie The Eagle in Melbourne, Hugh Jackman revealed his daily mantra, which has led to 20 years of wedded bliss with Deborra-Lee Furness.
When asked by Sunrise's Edwina Bartholomew if, like the Olympic Games, he has a slogan to live by, the 47-year-old replied: 'Just have a go...and the other one, most important one, is drummed into me every single day, "happy wife, happy life". The screen and stage star then giggled before making it clear it's a tried and tested motto, adding: 'We're about to celebrate our 20th [anniversary]'.
At the preview Hugh greeted hundreds of fans who had cued up to see him and snap a selfie but the Wolverine star has his number one fan by his side, as he walked the white carpet with his wife, Deb. This isn't the first time the 2008 People magazine Sexiest Man Alive has spoken about the couple's impending milestone anniversary.
Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in April, the Les Miserable star said: 'She's the greatest thing that ever happened to me and it gets better and better.' Adding: 'And I'm kind of really grateful that I met [her] before anything kind of happened because everything that's happened in my career and on screen, off screen - we've always done it together.'
The couple met on the set of Australian TV drama Correlli and married a year later in 1996. Since then, the PAN actor has regularly praised his wife in interviews and shared flashback photos on social media from the 90s. Although, Deborra isn't as much of a fan of the throwback images, admitting on The Project last November: 'I get grumpy when he puts bad ones up'.
The couple have two children Oscar, 15, and Ava, 10, who were both adopted in the US after the couple struggled to adopt in Australia. Since their experience, the couple have used their celebrity in recent years to push for changes to the adoption process in Australia through their foundation Adopt Change. The couple are currently back home as Hugh continues to promote Eddie The Eagle in Australia but it's not known if they will celebrate their anniversary Down Under or in the US.
