Hugh Jackman’s mental well-being has come under scrutiny after a series of unusual posts on his Instagram account. The erratic behavior of the Wolverine actor is a result of his recent divorce from long-term wife Deborra-Lee Furness.
An anonymous insider who exclusively spoke with In Touch said,
“Hugh has been all over the place… Not to mention he’s dropped a ton of weight and is acting very scattered. His friends can’t help worrying he’s not doing as well as he’s letting on!”
On April 1, 2024, Hugh shared a cryptic image of a gray wooden floor, leaving fans utterly confused. Two days later, he uploaded a picture of himself showing significant weight loss and a heartbroken expression.
One of the numerous concerned fans asked in the comments,
“Are you ok? You may need to talk to some of your real friends.”
Hugh’s recent social circle has also raised eyebrows, as he’s been spotted spending time with much younger celebrities like Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively. Yes, one of the reasons behind that is probably their upcoming release Deadpool & Wolverine.
But there’s speculation that the actor might be experiencing a midlife crisis, especially since he seems to be distancing himself from his old friends. The insider further claimed,
“He doesn’t seem to have the time for his old crowd and they feel they’ve been ditched… They try to make plans with him but he’s never got the time except he always has time for people like Ryan Reynolds. It’s insulting!”
Hugh Jackman married his Hollywood sweetheart Deborra-Lee Furness back in 1996 after a few months of dating. The couple, who share two children together, announced their divorce in September 2023 after more than 27 years of marriage.
Concerned fans flooded Jackman’s recent cryptic Instagram posts with heartfelt comments. One comment read,
“I hope you’re ok mate. Looks like you’ve lost your best friend. Sending hugs”.
Another fan asked,
“Everything alright? Need a hug?”
While only Hugh Jackman himself knows the true reason behind his social media activity, fans can only hope he finds solace and emerges stronger from this tough post-divorce transition.
