WOLVERINE HUGH’S MUTANT MELTDOWN
Friends fear divorce sent him over edge
WOLVERINE hunk Hugh Jackman is doing his best to put on a happy face, but sources say he’s lost without estranged wife Deborra-Lee Furness and appears to be in the midst of a weird midlife meltdown!
Fans and insiders have been left confused by the movie mutant’s bizarre social media posts, including unflattering selfies, cryptic comments and a close-up pic of the floor. “He’s clearly trying to get attention, but it’s coming off as strange and unprofessional,” huffs a snitch. “If Deb were around, she’d never let him embarrass himself this way!”
The Greatest Showman star left people equally puzzled when he was spotted tagging along with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively to watch Taylor Swift cheer on her football player boyfriend, Travis Kelce. “He doesn’t seem to have the time for his old crowd and they feel they’ve been ditched right along with Deb,” tattles a tipster. “They try to make plans with him but he’s never got the time — except he always has time for people like Ryan Reynolds. It’s insulting!
“He tells people he’s thriving — and to his credit he has managed to get out there and enjoy a few dates and have plenty of fun — but his behavior is still pretty odd and erratic these days. Between the self-obsessed social media posts and the fact that he’s started partying with people half his age, it’s sounding alarm bells for a lot of his old friends.”
Insiders say the 55-year-old Aussie’s stunning split from his 68-year-old producer wife appears to be the root of the problem. They ended their marriage last summer — after 27 years and two grown children.
Since then, Hugh has “been all over the place,” according to a mole, who points to the lanky star’s erratic social media posts as a “worrying” sign he’s struggling with a midlife crisis!
“Not to mention he’s dropped a ton of weight and is acting very scattered. His friends can’t help worrying he’s not doing as well as he’s letting on!”
Sources say Deb was the glue that held him together. “Everyone knows she kept him on the straight and narrow,” spouts a source. “Now the concern is that he’s struggling a lot more than he’s letting on!”
