Hugh Jackman, who is ready to reprise his role as Wolverine in Deadpool 3, shares a resilient bond with his children—Oscar and Eva.
Jackman and his wife Deborra-lee Furness (the couple who met in 1995 on the set of the Australian series Correlli and have been together since 1996) became parents in 2000 when they adopted their son, Oscar.
They made the decision to adopt after experiencing miscarriages and IVF (in vitro fertilization). The stars then adopted their daughter, Ava, 18, in 2005.
The pair has raised their children out of the public eye, but they never hesitate to express how much they mean to each other. In fact, Jackman once shared a funny incident involving his son Oscar that can make anyone laugh.
A Particular Scene in Real Steel Astonished Hugh Jackman’s Son
In his appearance on The Graham Norton Show (shared via Sd Tv on YouTube), Hugh Jackman shared a moment from the premiere of his movie Real Steel.
He went on to say that there comes a scene where he kisses Evangeline Lilly. So, when his son, Oscar, sees him kissing someone other than his mother, he playfully warns his father. As the Deadpool actor explained:
Yes, Evangeline Lilly on Real Steel in 2010. And I never forget actually, we had a kiss in the movie and it was the first time at the premiere, as the scene was playing, I realised my son was there, who is 10, and I was like Oh [opens his mouth in astonishment], he’s never seen me kiss anyone other than his mum. And I looked as we were going in for the kiss, I looked at him, he was like…
The Hollywood star then continued:
“I looked over and he looked at me and he goes ‘You’re in so much trouble.'”
Despite his son not liking his father kissing another woman, Jackman seemed to enjoy locking lips with Lilly during the film shoot.
Hugh Jackman Said Evangeline Lilly is a Really Good Kisser
Hugh Jackman thinks his Real Steel co-star, Evangeline Lilly, is really good at kissing. When asked in an interview on 2Day FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show, if his kids enjoyed the the 2010 movie, the actor said (via IMDb), “They loved it, this is the first one of my films they’ve seen. I don’t want them to see their Dad take someone’s head off with claws, it kind of undermines me at home…they loved it.”
This is when the now 55-year-old actor teased that Lilly is a “very good kisser,” recounting the same incident where his son expressed disappointment over seeing him kiss someone other than his mother.
