Hugh Jackman is a Kid Robot

I think you might be right Brianna about it not fitting him at the moment since he’s trying to get to 220 lbs. or so. Also, he’s supposedly in that gym at all hours of the day and night getting sweaty, so it’s probably just easier to leave it home. And yes, he has lost it before. I think he said three times, all while swimming in the ocean. The last time it disappeared, I noticed he started wearing a silver bracelet and I wondered. And sure enough, I was right. Deb bought him a “wedding bracelet” which would be harder to lose than a ring. I tell ya, if he were my husband and he lost three wedding rings, after I’d brained him (LOL), I’d just have the damn thing tatooted on his finger (like his character did in The Fountain). As for the paparazzi…

It’s a conundrum. Some of my favorite pictures of Hugh are those candid shots taken with his wife and kids because those are the ones that truly capture HIM. Studio shots are nice, but they’re all posed and trying to convey an image. But since I am a right to privacy advocate, I struggle with this issue. I should look the other way when these ‘unauthorized’ photos surface. But I don’t and therefore, I guess that makes me a hypocrite. And no, he does not look very happy. He once said that he knew what he was taking on when he sought stardom. But his children did not and he naturally feels this very strong desire to protect them. I suppose he could just tuck them away from the world behind closed doors, but thus far it looks like he’s trying to give them as normal a life as possible. And the little doodlebugs are just going to have to learn to deal with it. But it’s not fair.

Maybe they’ll get some relief when they return to the states. He’s dogged in his homeland because he’s quite the big fish in their little pond. But here in America? He pretty much flies under the radar and that’s because he doesn’t live a trashy, celebrity life. He’s still with the same woman he showed up with and didn’t ditch her for a starlet as soon as stardom hit (as almost EVERY damn one of them have), no DUI’s, no drugs, no sex tapes leaked, no affairs with nannies, no re-hab, no scandal of ANY kind. I don’t think it’s ever been heard that he’s said something nasty about anyone. What in hell would the tabloids here in America write about him?…”today Hugh Jackman went to the grocery store, then played with his children in the park, then went home to his wife of a dozen years or so.” That is a lifestyle that the tabloids simply cannot sell.

And as much as I want him to take his place along side Clooney, Crowe, Depp, etc. (and he deserves it because he’s as talented if not more so, than any superstar you can name), I would hate to see him try to live his life under that intense microscope of fame that superstardom brings. My fear is that with the one-two punch of the upcoming “Australia” and “Wolverine”, superstardom may at last be his and all the life scrutiny that it brings.

But since he lives such a “boring life” (his words, not mine), maybe they’ll leave him alone no matter how big a star he becomes. One can only hope.

I love him!! And when he’s with his kids he is even sexier :P

And regarding his wedding ring..I saw him on Letterman a short while back and he said the reason that he doesn’t always wear his wedding band is because he is so bad with losing them. He is on like his 3rd band or something.

@ Serissa. How true! I’m from Germany too and it really sucks that he’s hardly known here.
If someone asks me: Who’s your favorite actor and I say: Hugh Jackman and Johny Depp, the reply is:

Hugh Who??

If you say: X-Men?! the reply is: Oh, that Wolverine guy…

So, he could really come here and have a quiet time. LOL

@Serissa & Daniela: As far as I´m concerned I really don´t want a Hugh-Jackman-Hype over here in Germany. No way. What a dreadful thought that he might be “common good” like so many of these other Hollywood-Creatures. No, thank you. I like it just the way it is. Let him be known to a lot of people as Wolverine or maybe for another blockbusting movie, but I don´t want him to be getting into treadmill of being everybody´s darling or item of interest.
P.s. Serissa, is it possible that we know each other for quite a while?;:)

and that’ s what i meant. i nvere said anything about becoming a hype here. what i mean is, it sucks thast he’s only known as wolverine.

how i wish to see him in person……..
