Let’s talk about Hugh Jackman, shall we? The charismatic actor from The Greatest Showman is proving that turning 50 isn’t just a milestone—it’s an opportunity to live life to the fullest. Just days before his 50th birthday on October 12, Hugh sat down with Gentleman’s Journal to share his thoughts on aging, fame, and family. And let me tell you, this guy’s got wisdom that goes far beyond his movie star looks.
Hugh Jackman’s Take on Aging: No Fears, Just Gratitude
Hugh isn’t one to shy away from the big 5-0. In fact, he’s embracing it head-on. “Turning 50. I’m not afraid of that,” he said confidently. “I’ve got no mid-life crisis planned.” Now, you might think that sounds easy for someone who’s achieved so much in life, but Hugh is quick to point out that his worries aren’t about himself—they’re about the people he loves. “I certainly have worries and fears concerning my family, my children particularly,” he admitted. “But there’s not a parent on the planet who doesn’t feel that way.”

A Lifetime of Love and Lessons
Hugh and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, have been together for over two decades, building a life filled with love, laughter, and two beautiful children: son Oscar Jackman, 18, and daughter Ava Jackman, 13. During his chat with Gentleman’s Journal, Hugh opened up about how he’s learned to overcome fear. “I used to jump off the diving board in my high school, over and over again, until I wasn’t scared anymore,” he recalled. It’s this kind of resilience that has shaped him into the man he is today.
But fame? That’s a whole different story. Hugh says he doesn’t let it weigh him down. “I very rarely feel the burden of my fame,” he explained. “Let’s put it this way, if I was to hand you the keys to a Ferrari, and tell you that there were going to be some traffic jams occasionally, you’d still take those keys—every day of the week! I’m doing what I love, so if there is the odd ‘traffic jam,’ I just try to put that into perspective.”

When it comes to his long-lasting marriage, Hugh credits his success to finding the right partner.

Now, instead of letting fear dictate his life, Hugh focuses on what truly matters: making incredible movies, being a supportive father, and loving the woman he calls his soulmate. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to follow in his footsteps?
