Hugh Jackman's Heartfelt Tribute To His Wife Proves He's The Ultimate Partner

Let’s be real here—most people get a little emotional when they talk about their spouse. They reminisce about the good times, the bad times, and everything in between. But Hugh Jackman? He’s on a whole different level. This guy isn’t just any husband; he’s a true partner in every sense of the word. When he took the stage to honor his wife, Deborra-lee Furness, everyone in the room—and probably watching at home—was left with goosebumps.

Jackman Steals the Spotlight With His Heartfelt Words

At 50 years old, Hugh Jackman is no stranger to accolades. On Monday, he was celebrated for his incredible film career, receiving the prestigious Santa Barbara International Film Festival’s Kirk Douglas Award for Excellence in Film. Now, let me tell you, that's one long title to fit on a trophy. But even with all the attention on him, Hugh wasn't there to talk about himself. Nope, this man had something much more important on his mind: his wife of 22 years, Deborra-lee Furness. And let me tell you, every woman in that room probably turned to their husband and said, "Why can't you be more like Hugh?"

Hugh’s words were nothing short of poetic. He said, “Life actually happens in between that. Life happens when the camera is not going.” Can you imagine being in that room, watching this man pour his heart out? He went on to say, “You [Deborra-lee] believed in me when I couldn’t. You’ve loved me with a passion and a depth that I didn’t even know existed—and I don’t think I felt that I deserved. You have pushed and encouraged me when I was scared to venture out. You have smiled me into smiling. You have sung me into singing. You have loved me into loving, and like everything I do in my life, I share this with you. I love you.”

He once mentioned how he and Deborra-lee “clicked right away.” It’s clear that their connection was immediate and powerful from the start. Hugh even joked, “I think she probably first fell in love with me when I sang ‘You and I’ from the musical Chess. Deb will still ask me to sing it for her at home, although she’s usually a bit tipsy.”

“There was something that clicked between us right away,” Hugh added. “It was the feeling you get when you sense this connection that tells you this is the kind of woman you want in your life.”
