Hugh Jackman Isn't Gay But Won't Deny It!

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Australiastic > Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman is addressing "the gay rumors"!!!

Jackman sat down for an interview with PARADE Magazine, and the whisperings of the married star being gay were not off-limits to the mag!

Although Hugh doesn't prefer the company of men, he claims, Jackman doesn't get what the big deal would be if he in fact was gay!

Says the Wolverine star:

“I’d be happy to go and deny it, because I’m not. But by denying it, I’m saying there is something shameful about it, and there isn’t anything shameful. The questions about sexuality I find more here in America than anywhere else, because it’s a big hang-up and defines what people think about themselves and others. It’s not a big issue in Australia."

Well said!!!

Why don't more people in America subscribe to his school of thought???

    one great article



  2. 2

    Cool guy.



  3. 3

    gay or not. he's so flippin' hot!



  4. 4

    I FEEL THE SAME WAS. AMERICANS HAVE PUT THIS CLOUD OVER HOMO-SEXUALITY…SO WHAT IF SOMEONE IS GAY, THE WORLD ISNT GOING TO STOP SPINNING BECAUSE OF IT. ITS BEEN A PART OF LIFE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE. AND P.S. HUGH IS SOO HOTT, NOT THAT THAT IS A SECRET…LOL



  5. 5

    People don't subscribe to that school of thought because people like you ask the questions and slap labels on people and act like being gay is "the dirt" one someone.



  6. 6

    thats really awesome! hes so cool!



  7. 7

    exactly, it is no big deal what you like, but you are trashing miss calif for voicing her beliefs. lets be honest here, deep down inside i dont think there should be any gay's at all. BUT, on the other hand I dont think I should punish people or think less of them for their beliefs, so with that said I do support civil unions. To me marriage is still church based, and i do not trash people like you do, wow maybe its time to grow up perez

    Re: UrMajestyMsG – WAY***



  9. 9

    Great point. And universally known - why is the U.S. so screwed up when it comes to sexuality?????????????

    No other "western" country has even half the issues or gives sexuality even half the airtime.



  10. 10

    Well put Mr. Jackman.
    Perez; you should ask yourself that question, youre always trying to out or define people.



  11. 11

    I think its gay to read Parade magazine.



  12. 12

    Cool but a bit old



  13. 13

    I always thought this site was gay, but now its really GAY



  14. 14

    He's still hot!

    Definition of B I G O T :

    NOUN:

    One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
    (i.e. Perez Hilton)
    ——————————————————————————–



  16. 16

    He is soooo cool. Most people outside of the Americas and the Middle East have this attitude. He knows who he is and that ends the discussion. He can dance, sing, act and looks amazing so the gays want him for themselves! *g* Remember Kathy Griffin's old joke: "The gays never question Gene Hackman's sexuality, do they?"



  17. 17

    Perez,
    if you really feel that way, why don't you do it. If you don't want your sexuality to be the focal point of every conversation, do one of two things…1) Quit talking about it incessantly and soliciting people's opinions, and getting angry when they don't agree. Or…live with the fact that the only reason you're able to post cum on people's faces and intrusively "out" men without their permission, you yourself making a very personal choice for them, is because of the same liberties afforded to others.



  18. 18

    Well said, he is such a classy and nice guy! Not to mention sexy!



  19. 19

    Most intelligent comments I have heard in a long time. It's time for the US to stop putting so much emphasis on sex, God and money.



  20. 20

    I love him



  21. 21

    it's very well said.

    a big "sigh" for the U.S of A-holes



  22. 22

    why can't everyone think like this



  23. 23

    He's so right.
    Americans are gay-terrified.
    Satan won't kill us if we support our fellow citizens who happen to be homosexual.
    Traditional American marriages won't crumble into meaninglessness.
    The Bible won't explode if people are permitted to live gay lifestyles.



  24. 24

    Love him…but he did deny it Perez….in the first sentence!



  25. 25

    because that would mean thinking for themselves….something that doesn't come easy in the USA



  26. 26

    This site sux, Perez is a homocidal IDIOT. I wish i didn't have to keep coming here to post how much this site blows but its the only way you people will learn (if ever). I doubt you will. The Homosexual Mafia will come to an end soon. We have been forced to tolerate your disgusting behavior for TOO LONG. Prepare yourself. This site sux, Perez is a homocidal IDIOT.

  28. 28

    Obama doesn't believe in gay marriage. Where's your post crucifying him on this decision? You'd think you would have a post every single day pounding BO, until he changed his mind about it. Go beat up on BO…as much as BO flip flops, and throws every body under the bus, you better start your campaign Perez where it should be, instead of a cute little girl.

    yeah, many americans are definitely hung up on sex - either to condemn others or to engage in sex addictions like porn. no moderation or balance - just self-imposed and peer-imposed suffering! sex is ok! our bodies are ok! i'm ok! you're ok! ok?



  30. 30

    He is right, it's no big deal…however Mario you make it an issue every chance you get. Why is that?



  31. 31

    Hmm…I have some problem with the english languaish, sorry!
    It isn´t a big deal in Sweden either, if you´re homosexuell or not. I have friends, both female and male, that prefer a partner of their own(?) sex, and I even don´t think about it.
    Perhaps in USA your more…"old thinking"…(I´ve don´t have the word!! Gaaahhh!)

    BTW, I´ve found you by the "Knäckebrödsdansen"! HAHA! That´s something for The USA!



  32. 32

    This is exactly why I love Hugh. Such a classy guy.



  33. 33

    Hugh is simply perfect.



  34. 34

    Including yourself then..



  35. 35

    says the man so quick to out people…just let it be



  36. 36

    i agree: im from australia and it really is not that big of a deal:| ofcourse there will always be those people who look down on gays in every country and culture, but generally speaking homosexuality is widely accepted in australia. JUDGE A PERSON BY THEIR PERSONALITY, NOT THEIR SEXUALITY!



  37. 37

    Re: silly billie – Ha ha!



  38. 38

    Most of us do think that way and here's the irony, that's why you don't hear it. We're not hung up on it. More important things in life like raising kids, counting calories, and lusting over Hugh Jackman (yum!)

    bitch bitch bitch! :p



  39. 39

    Fatty just because he likes dancing, singing show tunes and has a hot body at 40 doesn't make him gay.



  40. 40

    What the fuck is Hugh talking about. In Australia gays aren't even welcome
    into some towns because they would get the shit kicked out of them &
    that's the truth. This is another celeb trying to be politically correct because he doesn't want to lose fans…



  41. 41

    Exactly!
    I like him even more!
    Very hot!



  42. 42

    Re: AvaLovesAbs – I love my abs too



  43. 43

    Wasn't Australia used as a penal colony? Britain displaced the indigenous population with people of little moral standing………so no wonder they're gay friendly….. they raped both male and female aboriginees in an effort to breed culture into the savages.

    44

    This associated partner lives in this garden,you can see him behind Jackman in every public photo!he was an director assistant on X men! it's very strange!



  45. 45

    Hugh doesn't speak for all people in Australia. Just because someone isn't vocal about their opinion on a subject, doesn't mean they don't have one. I couldn't care less if someone is Gay, that's their decision, but don't sell me that 'it's normal' BS. I'd help a gay person the same as i'd help someone who's not, that's call showing humanity. Doesn't mean I support the lifestyle.



  46. 46

    Gotta love Hugh Jackamn and I'm proud to call myself an Austrlian too. Seriously Perez work out which side of the fence you are on. Because you have the potential tos tand for something and instead you come across as yet another useless activist who gets on a band wagon for a brief moment and then jumps onto something else. the fact is obnoxious poofs like you are giving the rest of the gay community a bad name!



  47. 47

    his bf must be so proud of him



  48. 48

    Perez - you have some serious issues with being gay. If you are not gay - then you are not gay, no reason to act like you are gay. If you are gay, there is no reason to act like you are not gay. Be yourself - furthermore, how/who you have sex with is no ones business.



  49. 49

    he s too great!



  50. 50

    yeah but he still denied being gay.

  51. kiana says – reply to this


    51

    This is soooooooooo stupid! I have many gay friends but I would not want my children to be gay. However if they were I wouldn't turn them away. It's just moronic how far this is going.

  52. kiana says – reply to this


    52

    Re: lolarocco11 – You are so right! He is majorly HOT.



  53. 53

    Now THIS is how an articulate person answers a question!



  54. 54

    To all of the men who want to be married to at least two women we need to also redefine marriage. We need to be inclusive and let them love who they want and for all of them to gets the rights that all others in this country get. Right?



  55. 55

    Oh Godddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd. Who give a flying fuck if he's gay? Or if anyone is gay. Who cares? GOOD SWEET CHRIST can we just get over everything already and live our lives?



  56. 56

    My sister-in-law is from Chile and her and my brother are 6 years into marriage and she still doesn't have the same rights as all the rest of the country. In love and being denied. Sad.



  57. 57

    When asked if you're a heterosexual do you say "yes" or "no." Again, praising people or smearing them for things you don't practice. Why do you shout about it, is there something wrong with being heterosexual.



  58. 58

    Yeah, it is mostly fat, nerdy, desperate American hyppos that can't get any dick that make a huge issue out of homosexuality.



  59. 59

    He's very secure of his sexuality.



  60. 60

    Americans are small people that are afraid of life. My fear is that one the day all the fundamentalists, christians and muslims, get together and realize their goals are the same and they will try to imprison our freedom. Not just freedom to get married to whomever we want, but freedom to live our lives the way we want.

    Keep your religion to yourself, don't use it to govern my life!

    "I find more here in America than anywhere else, because it’s a big hang-up and defines what people think about themselves and others."
    "Why don't more people in America subscribe to his school of thought???"
    have you really understood what he meant, perez??



  62. 62

    Just because you say you aren't gay doesn't mean you're saying it's a shameful thing. Just like when gay people say "I'm not straight".



  63. 63

    actually I`m almost sure he is gay. There is a big number of small things which point to that. And he is afraid to admit it openly because he knows what impact it would have on his career. I would love him after that but not the same way and probably it will be the same for the most of the fans. This will be mostly admiration… but that would not be enough for a star rocketing career.



  64. 64

    I wonder if Miss California would complain if he WAS gay and wanted to get married…



  65. 65

    i'm sorry, I don't see how saying "I'm not gay" is saying that there's something wrong with it. I'm not black, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with being black…i'm just white.



  66. 66

    such class.



  67. 67

    & don't forget to copy this into ur *yummy, yummy, screw* file, pretzels.
    i know i'm copying it into my *yummiyummi4mytummy* file, pronto.
    he makes fitness look soooo goooood.
    ;-)



  68. 68

    He's one sexy Aussie!



  69. 69

    Oh puh-lease - Australia is one of the most homophobic countries in the world - as evidenced by some Aussies posting on here themselves. I would rather be gay in USA than there!!!



  70. 70

    his wife has a history of falling for the gays
    before hugh there was a well i guess he was bi if he was with her but he definitely wasnt before he went out with her
    he loved men

  71. Bytch says – reply to this


    71

    Ummm….. If someone asked me if I was a man or of a different religion, I would deny it because it is the truth, not because it is shameful. This is getting really out of hand….to the point that people aren't even allowed to say "I'm not gay" without hurting feelings???? STFU now. This over-sensitive shit really turns me off.



  72. 72

    It is shameful to deny it! Jackoff is GAY! I saw him at RL with a little sprite wearing eyeliner with Oprah! She even asked!



  73. 73

    Wow, I always thought he was a tool but that is really awesome.



  74. 74

    Why the fuck do you always have to say that certain people are gay? If they're not, they're not. If they are, great. But it's THEIR choice on when to come out, not your choice to out them.



  75. 75

    Americans don't think that way because most of us are Bible-thumping morons!!!!!



  76. 76

    Right on Hugh, that is the perfect answer!



  77. 77

    PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!PEREZ IS A HATER!!!!!!!



  78. 78

    Thats Right we love our Fabulous Gays in Australia.



  79. 79

    Why doesn't everyone think like Perez?!?!?!

    If you ask me, hoping everyone will think alike is as closed minded as being racist, bigoted or sexist.



  80. 80

    here in australia i don't think anyone cares either way! he's a great dad, his family seem really happy and normal, it's all good. hasn't the world got bigger problems than this?! let anyone who wants to, get married, and lets get on with fixing global warming. this is such a non-issue.



  81. 81

    perhaps bi, but not 100% hetero…which is just fine and he doesn't have to say a thing about his preferences. he is hot, whether you are man or woman. kind of like a rock hudson.



  82. 82

    He's so amazing!



  83. 83

    "Although Hugh doesn't prefer the company of men, he claims, Jackman doesn't get what the big deal would be if he in fact was gay! " He doesn't get it?? Doesn't he think his *wife* would mind?! Hmmmm……



  84. 84

    Well said indeed



  85. 85

    i think people are misinterpreting what Hugh was saying about Australia,
    like every other country Australia has homophobics
    i think that he was trying to say that in australian news
    they tend not to not be about homosexuality as much as america
    because i am an australia, i can say that there is hardly ever any headlines about
    someone being gay, but yes there are people who are still against it
    just like any other country



  86. 86

    Bravo Hugh!!

    You are So much more than a Pretty face & a Great actor!!



  87. 87

    wow I love him even more now *sigh*



  88. 88

    I agree with him. Why should he?



  89. 89

    STUDDDDDD!!!!!



  90. 90

    Well then Perez, if you agree, quit "outting" people on your site. Let them do it themselves. Quit talking about who's straight and who's gay.
