Hugh Jackman<\/strong> isn’t quite ready to talk about his split from his wife beyond what he’s already said in a statement — but even when pressed by a photog … the dude was all class.<\/p>\n The actor was approached by a pap Saturday in NYC, where he got peppered with questions about his separation<\/strong> from Deborra-lee Furness<\/strong> — whom Hugh has been married to for the last 27 years … and which came out of nowhere Friday in a shock announcement.<\/p>\n Check out what he had to say about it in person … the videographer was wondering what sort of personal growth he and Deborra-lee would be pursuing — something they alluded to in their remarks — and Hugh actually gave the guy the time of day, in a very polite way.<\/p>\n For starters, HJ says he doesn’t feel right discussing the matter right then and there in an impromptu interview — which is fair. He says he appreciates the photog’s thoughts, but when the guy pushes a bit further … Hugh says flat out, they’re going through a hard time.<\/p>\n The pap pivots to “Deadpool 3” and asks when he thinks they might be able to resume filming — and Hugh says as soon as they’re allowed to … referencing the ongoing strike.<\/p>\n Like we said … he couldn’t have been more graceful here. Considering how personal of a situation it is and Hugh’s private nature — he handled this interaction as well as possible.<\/p>\n Hugh and Debora-lee were one of these longtime couples who everyone thought would stand the test of time … but as we’ve seen a lot this year already, some of the sturdiest relationships in Hollywood are seeing their end.<\/p>\n Here’s to happier times, Hugh. Be well.<\/p>\n![\"Hugh](\"https:\/\/imagez.tmz.com\/image\/c5\/4by3\/2023\/09\/16\/c53939ca0d944748a886a035acb7df51_md.jpg\")
