He's a great actor, he's a proper family man, he's never mean to anyone and he also takes hilarious underwater pictures where he pretends to be asleep.
Mucking about in a pool, Hugh posted a pic to his instagram profile of him hang out underwater pretending to be mega relaxed despite thef act he's underwater and it takes a hell of a lot of muscle power to remain in a position that isn't reminiscent of a tentacled starfish. Drowning.
Look how cool he is:
He's recently been in the headlines for other reasons, though, as his wife of 17 years, Deborah Lee-Furness hit out at people constantly referring to her as 'lucky' to be married to the actor. She's also been dogged with beard accusations - the act of marrying an actor to hide the fact he's actually gay - for years, and Hugh has said in past interviews that she hates the constant speculation:'It bugs her, he said. 'She goes 'It's big. It's everywhere [on the Internet]!'".
Deborah herself has played it down, telling reporters: 'The line I heard was, ‘Wolverine? Who would have thought?’ Hugh and I don’t pay much heed. It’s kind of tragic that these people have nothing better to do than gossip.'
Meanwhile, follow Hugh on instagram. He's a lot of fun.
