Hugh Jackman and wife Deborra-Lee Furness step out in face masks in New York City


Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness made the perfect pair when they stepped out together in New York City on Tuesday.

The 51-year-old actor and his wife of 24 years donned face masks and puffer jackets as they walked their dogs, Dali and Allegra, amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Both were dressed casually for their walk along the Hudson River, with the Bad Education actor opting for a pair of black tracksuit pants.

Meanwhile, Deborra-Lee, 64, walked alongside him, dressed in a pair of cropped black exercise tights.

She wore a black puffer jacket zipped up to her neck and pink sneakers, which she paired with black socks.

Like Hugh, Deborra-Lee also wore a face mask and sunglasses, and held onto Allegra’s leash on their walk.

The longtime couple appeared sombre as they strolled along the water, with New York City currently under siege from the coronavirus.

Speaking to Who magazine last week, Hugh admitted he was concerned for the couple’s two children, son Oscar, 19, and daughter Ava, 14.

‘I mainly worry for my kids right now. I’m not scared for myself,’ he told the publication.

‘I am worried about them, their mental state, school, not being around friends and the disruption.’

Hugh compared New York City to a ‘post-apocalyptic movie’, adding that the once-bustling city was ‘tranquil and bizarrely empty’. 

The Greatest Showman star is trying to keep up a regular routine by meditating daily as he takes six months off work.  

He is also using his home as a makeshift theatre while rehearsing for his upcoming return to Broadway.

Hugh also told the publication he was talking to his neighbours more while walking his dogs around the streets of New York.

‘People seem to have more time, and the optimist in me hopes that’ll continue, and there’ll be a shared sense of community when it’s over,’ he said.

It comes after Hugh and Deborra-Lee recently urged their fans to stay at home to protect others amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The couple shared a video to Instagram last month from their NYC apartment.

‘Hi there! We stay home for all of our family, and for all the people working in essential services. All the doctors and healthcare workers,’ Deborra-Lee said.

The couple celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary last month, with Hugh paying tribute to his wife on Instagram.

‘These 24 years have been the best of my life! And, as far as I can see, we keep getting better,’ he wrote. 

He added: ‘I love you Debs with every fiber of my soul. Happy anniversary.’  

In an interview with The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon via video conference last month, Hugh revealed Deborra-Lee had turned down Mick Jagger for him.

Hugh said it happened at the very start of his relationship with the actress, and he had invited Deborra-Lee and 12 others to his home in Melbourne for dinner. 

‘Deb got a phone call halfway through dinner. We’re in Melbourne, Australia, and the phone rings and Deb picks it up and everyone goes quiet…’ he recounted.  

‘Deb’s talking, and she’s like “Who? Hang on a sec”, and then she says, “Mick Jagger’s in a limo outside your house, and wants to go and party with me.”‘

'People seem to have more time, and the optimist in me hopes that'll continue, and there'll be a shared sense of community when it's over,' he said

Confirming the story, Deborra-Lee added: ‘My girlfriend wanted me to come party with Mick Jagger.’ 

Hugh said he was expecting his wife of 24 years to leave his dinner to go and party with the 76-year-old Rolling Stones frontman.

But he was pleasantly surprised when Deborra-Lee turned down the offer and decided to stay at his house instead.  

'Hi there! We stay home for all of our family, and for all the people working in essential services. All the doctors and healthcare workers,' Deborra-Lee said

‘She goes, “You can tell Mick I’m having dinner with Hugh Jackman,”‘ the clearly chuffed actor continued. 

Hugh confessed that was the moment he knew Deborra-Lee must’ve really liked him. 

‘I went, “Whoa”. Part of me was thrilled, and part of me was like, “You should have gone,”‘ he said incredulously.
