Hugh Jackman Values Family Over Work

Hugh Jackman has said his family is more important to him than anything else.

The actor added that they "are what matters" and give him stability while his work and fame are "unpredictable".

The 44-year-old, who is married to actress Deborra-Lee Furness, was speaking to the Sunday Telegraph, and revealed that money and being famous is not important to him.

He explained: "Debs has strength and a lot of courage. She is very grounded. Our family matters more than anything – and I mean anything.

"At the Oscars [in 2009], when I put my hand on my heart, that's a sign to Debs out there, a reminder that this is what matters and that all the rest – the awards and the money and the fame – may come and go.

"There'll be time when I'm flavour of the month, times when I'm not. But Debs and my kids are what matters to me."

The couple adopted their children, Oscar, 13, and eight-year-old daughter Ava, when they discovered they could not have their own naturally.

He admitted: "[It was] painful ... Trying to have children is wonderful, and when you feel as though that's not going to happen, there's a certain anxiety.

"We'd always planned and hoped to have both adopted children and biological children. But it turned out we didn't have biological children."
