HUGH JACKMAN - JACKMAN TIRED OF GAY RUMOURS

JACKMAN TIRED OF GAY RUMOURS

Australian movie star HUGH JACKMAN is infuriated and exhausted with the gay rumours that have plagued him throughout his career.
Speculation about the 40-year-old's sexuality reached a peak when he starred as gay entertainer Peter Allen in a Broadway production of The Boy from Oz - when his actress wife Deborra-Lee Furness took on the role of rumour-crusher.
Jackman says, "Debs saw the show about 50 times. She said the most infuriating times would be in the bathroom because all she'd hear is, 'Is he or isn't he gay?... I don't know, he's married... Oh, who cares, I'm sure he's gay.' And she used to call out from the stall, 'He's not gay. I'm telling you he's not.' And there would be silence until someone said, 'I think that's his wife.'"
Jackman, who married Furness in 1996, has just been named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.
