The result is a dramatic change as Hugh gears up to portray the iconic outlaw in his latest film.
In the caption, Hugh expressed his excitement and gratitude, sharing his appreciation for the cast and crew of The Death of Robin Hood.

An honour and a privilege. Thank you Ireland! Your beauty knows no bounds,” he wrote.

Hugh Jackman’s Versatility Beyond Wolverine
While Hugh is most famous for his role as the fierce Wolverine in the X-Men franchise, his career spans beyond action films.
The actor has long been a beloved figure in the world of musical theatre, starring in roles like Peter Allen in The Boy from Oz, Harold Hill in The Music Man, and Curly in Oklahoma! His versatility and ability to transition between genres have made him a household name.
A New Chapter in Hugh’s Personal Life
Alongside his career transformation, Hugh’s personal life is also undergoing changes.
The actor is reportedly planning to marry his girlfriend, Sutton Foster, after finalizing his divorce from his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.
The pair, who announced their separation in September 2023, had been married for 27 years.
Hugh and Sutton went public with their relationship in January, and sources close to the actor recently revealed his plans to marry her.
An insider shared with Sky News that Hugh had been torn while in Australia over the holidays but ultimately realized how much he missed Sutton.
“The magic came flooding back when they reunited, and ultimately, marriage is the end game for these two,” the source said.
“He wants to make Sutton his wife.”
Hugh and Deborra-Lee met in 1995 on the set of the Australian TV show Correlli, where Deborra-Lee was already an established star and Hugh was just beginning his career.
After four months of dating, Hugh proposed, and they were married in 1996.
Despite their separation, Hugh has expressed admiration and respect for Deborra-Lee, reflecting on their years together in interviews.
