Australian actor Hugh Jackman
is glad people assumed he was
gay in his youth –
because it gave him the chance
to act like a “vulture” and
pick up single girls,
WENN reports November 28th.
.
Handsome Hugh Jackman is not gay gay gay!
The X-Men hunk was plagued by
rumours he was a homosexual after
starring as gay performer Peter Allen
in a Broadway production of
The Boy from Oz.
.
The speculation surrounding his sexuality
peaked when his actress wife
Deborra-Lee Furness took on the
role of rumour-crusher –
telling everyone that her man
definitely wasn’t into same-sex
relationships.
.
And when asked by MTV what the
biggest three rumours about were,
Jackman says,
“Gay, gay and gay.”
.
But the gossip-mongerers failed to
make an impact on the thick-skinned star –
because he had a great time picking
up surprised girls in gay clubs.
.
He explains,
“I probably shouldn’t be saying this,
but I remember when I was about 19,
me and my mate used to go to these
dance parties which were 80
per cent gay guys,
18 per cent girls who were sick
of heterosexual guys hitting on them,
and then vultures like me and my mate.
.
“We would go there until two
in the morning,
when the girls were really drunk
and wishing they weren’t with
80 per cent gay guys. (I was)
The worst!
The leech!
The vulture!”
.
However, Jackman is starting
to tire of the rumours which still
surround him:
“I just think the whole idea of
judging someone based on their
sexuality is ridiculous.
In Australia,
we’re much easier on all those fronts.
I was playing a gay guy.
I actually took it as a compliment.”
.
Hugh Jackman is definitely NOT not gay.
