Hugh Jackman Wants To Declare Wife's Birthday 'Public Holiday' As Deborra-Lee Furness Turns 66

Hugh Jackman is doting on his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, as she celebrates her birthday. The renowned actor took to social media to shower love on his wife of 25 years, who turned 66.

Jackman uploaded a heartwarming photo of him and Furness looking so in love. The lovebirds posed for the camera, with their heads sweetly leaning on each other.

The "Wolverine" star donned a simple blue shirt with the sleeves rolled as he smiled at the camera, while a gorgeous Furness opted for a white button-down shirt over a turtleneck.

Her blonde hair was styled in a messy bun as she flashed a wide grin and wrapped her arms around her man. Alongside the romantic picture, the Australian actor showered affectionate words on his woman, writing:

"It’s my incredible wife’s birthday. Not sure if I can declare a public holiday!!! But feels like we should. Because there’s no one on this planet I know who celebrates every moment of every day like her."

The "X-Men" star then concluded his message by declaring his love for his wife, noting that she was "everything" to him.

Fans took to the comments section to agree with the lovestruck husband that his wife should indeed have a public holiday because of her birthday and wished her a happy celebration.

Jackman and his wife got married in 1996, and their love has withstood the test of time. The Blast shared how the couple was first introduced. 

Following the success of Furness' 1988 movie "Shame,"—which earned her the Best Actor award from Australia's Film Critics Choice and Golden Space Needle—she left for Hollywood. 

Unfortunately, the actress's career did not take flight in the City of Angels. So, she met with a fortune-teller who advised her to return to Australia, where everything would fall into place.

Furness detailed this experience in her appearance on Apple's Aussies in Hollywood podcast. She took the fortune teller's advice and returned home.

This turned out to be for the best as the mother-of-two shortly met and fell in love with her partner while co-starring on the 1995 series "Corelli."

Jackman encouraged the public to make the usage of sunscreens and the undergoing of skin examinations a priority in their lives.

In August, The Blast reported that the "Real Steel" star disclosed that he noticed an abnormal growth on his nose, which made him visit his dermatologist for answers. 

Jackman revealed the news on social media with a post-biopsy picture of himself sporting a band-aid on his nose. He wrote that doctors believe he is fine, but fans are worried about possible skin cancer.

The "X-Men" star later updated his fans via Instagram that his biopsy results came back inconclusive. Medical authorities say that the worst-case scenario is Basel Cell Carcinoma (BCC).

Jackman buttressed the importance of wearing sunscreen and going for skin checkups and thanked fans for their support, adding that if his message encouraged at least one person, he would be happy.

The 53-year-old assured fans he would go for his second biopsy once he finished filming "Reminiscence" which also stars Thandiwe Newton and Rebecca Ferguson.

Fans flooded the post with love and support, expressing their concerns as they would prefer to have their beloved actor completely healthy.
