Hugh Jackmanhasn’t been absolutely sure about too many things in his life — but he knew Deborra-Lee Furness was going to be his wife.
“I knew very early, I knew before Deb knew. Even when she tried to break up with me, I knew,” Jackman, said. “She kind of [broke up with me], a little bit. Early on, three weeks in. I managed to talk her out of it, thank God. I’m a very indecisive person, Deb really knows this about me. I can count on my hand the amount of times in my life anything has felt that clear to me, and when it happens it’s such a relief for me.”
He continued, “I just knew 100 percent, I even knew when she was trying to work out reasons to break up with me.”

The two eventually started dating and married 11 months later in April 1996. They’ve since welcomed son Oscar, 18, and daughter Ava, 13. But the actress said the reluctance came from a pact she had just made with herself when the couple started dating.
“I had just made my New Year’s resolution, I said, ‘I amnotdating any actors, anddefinitelynot under 30,'” she explained. “I then meet my husband.”

Jackman went on to superstardom after signing on for theX-Menmovies as Wolverine, but the actor still thinks Furness was his best costar ever.
“The best experience I ever had, working with another actor [was with Deborra],” Jackman said. “This was before we were romantically involved or had any idea that Deborra was interested. There was a chemistry… and every time we had a scene together it was unbelievable. Professionally, I’ve never had anything quite like that again.”
