In an interview with The Sun, Jackman stated: ''She likes me coming home in costume because it makes her feel like she's having an affair. She's eight years older than me, which is no big issue, and is a fantastic actress who has taught me a lot.'' Despite being one of the most recognisable faces in Hollywood, Jackson reports that his wife ensures he stays grounded in reality and doesn't start getting too big-headed.

''She's the one that keeps my feet firmly on the ground - and she has a great sense of humour.

Jackman also talked about how his teenage years were a far-cry from the older and wiser man he is today. Instead, he said that ''I was a loudmouth idiot at 18. I had ridiculous rage and male bravado in those days. I had some very dark periods. I wanted mum to come back because I felt that everybody stared at us as being abnormal. It was an odd situation for a mother not to be there. I thought for years she was going to come back. There was a time, when I was about 12, I thought they were going to get back together. They didn't and I took that anger and frustration out on others in my teens.''
