This gave me a good laugh today. My doggie Oscar would fit right in!

Hugh and Deb were seen at a flea/antiques market in Paris on the day before the London premiere of PAN. Weren't they seen on the Eurostar, so they were probably there just for the day?

He's fortunate to have inherited her slim build.

Wouldn't how he looked as THE MAN in THE RIVER be like the Hugh Jackman norm

Turning 37 next month, Jackman will soon retire his titular role in the Wolverine franchise after the 2017 release of Wolverine 3. “It feels like it’s about the right time to finish. Ageing has been kind to me, and really, the only time it mattered to me about the way I look was when I was 21 and single. And weirdly, I feel happier as I get older and feel less pressure on myself.”
Somebody screwed up here by 10 years!!

Just a typo. Would that we all could lose ten years with a misstroke of the keyboard. But now I'm wondering which now 37-ish actress he'd auditioned with nine years ago to play her lover, only to be recently asked about playing her father. Could it be an actual former costar, like Michelle Williams or Evangeline Lilly? Or someone else? The others (Ashley Judd, Halle Berry, Rebecca Romijn, Kate Beckinsale, Jennifer Garner, Amanda Seyfried, Scarlett Johansson, Kate Winslet) are either too old or too young for that age range. Inquiring minds want to know. Ellen

Do you think Hugh was misquoted about some of his siblings being adopted? That threw me for a loop. He's always been pretty forthcoming about family stuff, so if that were so, wouldn't that have been mentioned before? Who knows?

Thanks for catching the unreproduced portion, Ellen.
Here are the missing paragraphs --
Note: I have also edited the original article, to include these missing portions so it can be read as intended.

What struck me the most is how he considers the theatre, the stage, as having given him another chance of being truly happy ( in addition to loving his wife and children)! It goes much deeper than just artistic fulfilment - he gives himself wholly to his performance because he finds another level of peace and self-fulfillment in connecting with people. Apart from some excellent acting moments, maybe that is also why his fourth-wall interactions are very meaningful for him. It is the sense of shared moments, of connection, that makes him an even better performer! He looks at it as reciprocal -- he finds joy in performing ( as it tells him more of himself) while he aims at pleasing his audience ( who can express their connection with him in a live performance)! I am not sure I am articulating this well ... but now I understand why the stage is where he is completely at home, while it took him a long time to find film acting, to some extent, as also professionally- and personally- satisfying. Hmmm... maybe this is why I was drawn to him first because of the theatre. And I find the connection even more pronounced during the quiet moments of a stage performance -- I loved seeing him perform in A STEADY RAIN and THE RIVER...although Oklahoma!, The Boy from OZ, and Back on Broadway also represented very exhilarating moments for me because they were showcasing his talents and his stage presence very strongly. When will he return to Broadway? What kind of material will attract him again?I think it is the same with some of his movies -- that is why scenes like THE SOLILOQUY, WHO AM I, and SUDDENLY, were very strong moments in the film adaptation of LES MISERABLES...and why THE FOUNTAIN had hidden treasures for film fans ( who can forget the moments of grief and quiet introspection for Tommy and Tom, respectively?). Even a movie like PRISONERS made the audience put themselves in his shoes, as he tried to cope with the potential loss of a child - his best acting moments were those related to his quiet grief and sense of loss as he looked at his child's bloodied sock. This is not so say that he cannot find another level of personal fulfilment in other callings/professions ( Will he make a good leader or be in religious/ministerial work or even more involvement in his advocacies?) if he decides to give up acting as a profession. Hugh Jackman is constantly seeking himself! Jo

Someone noted what Hugh said about the theatre...and used it to explain what stage actors must feel -- Cecelia must be a stage actress
