Hugh Jackman says gay rumors bug wife

Actor Hugh Jackman has been no stranger to rumors questioning his sexuality, but he recently shared how his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, feels about the remarks.

According to Starpulse, Jackman told The Hollywood Reporter,"Just recently, it bugs her." He also mentioned the effects of the Internet, adding, "She goes: 'It's big. It's everywhere!' "

However, Lauren Shuler Donner, producer of X-Men, said that the rumors of Jackman being gay shouldn’t be taken seriously.

"I have seen him with Deborra since the beginning of their trip to Hollywood, and I've been on five movie sets with him and have never seen him stray, have never seen him eye anyone,” she commented. “I met him when he did Oklahoma! (at London's Royal National Theatre in 1999). He was genuine, hugely talented. He was in love with his wife that day and still is."

Jackman, 44, and Furness, 57, have been married for almost 17 years and have two children adopted together, USA Today reported.
