Not gay: Hugh Jackman speaks out... again in 60 Minutes interview
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness on 60 minutes.

HUGH Jackman has again dismissed rumours he's gay as "silly".

Promoting his new film, Wolverine, the Australian actor said the rumours were frustrating, particularly for his older wife, Debora-Lee Fuess.

"If I was, I would be," Jackman told 60 Minutes.

"I don’t think – it’s to me not the most interesting thing about a person anyway, but ah - I do get frustrated for Deb, 'cause I see Deb go "Ah,this is crazy"."

Jackman, 44, and Fuess, 57, have been married nearly 17 years and have two adopted children together.

Of the persistent questioning of her husband's sexuality, she said: "It is just wrong, it’s like, it’s a lie.

"It’s just – the bottom line, so it’s just offensive. If he was gay, fine, he would say he’s gay.

"It has gotten so out of whack that they – it’s stupid, yeah, it’s annoying, because it’s not true."
