Hugh Jackman is currently in the process of writing a memoir, according to an exclusive insider source in the latest issue of We magazine. The actor, known for his role as Wolverine, surprised the entertainment industry in September by announcing the end of his 27-year marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness. With this memoir, Jackman aims to confront his personal truth and address the recent divorce, taking the first step towards honesty and self-reflection.
As previously reported, Jackman and Furness made the difficult decision to part ways. According to a source, there were no signs of drama or conflict, and it seemed that the couple had simply reached a point where their relationship had become more like that of best friends.
Although they both expressed a desire to handle the situation amicably, another source suggested that the process of separating would be challenging for both of them. Their lives had become closely intertwined, making it difficult to divide their assets and finances. However, the primary goal for both parties is to reach an agreement before officially filing for divorce.
Divorce isn’t the only thing Jackman plans to touch on in his book. The insider promises there will be “big bombshells.”

“The content will consist of Hugh speaking candidly about his life,” reveals an anonymous source. “He will be delving into personal aspects that he has never discussed before.” The source also shares that the experience has been incredibly therapeutic for Hugh thus far.
In December 2022, the renowned Tony winner bravely acknowledged undergoing therapy to confront childhood trauma that was left unresolved, a result of his mother, Grace McNeil, leaving when he was only 8 years old. "I have only recently started therapy, and it has brought immense relief. We all require support from a community," Jackman disclosed to Who magazine, emphasizing the importance of having a solid support system.
A person with great intelligence, who maintains some distance from your sphere, can offer valuable assistance.
Furthermore, he added, "The most crucial aspect is that it enables me to establish stronger connections with the people I hold dear, enabling me to genuinely comprehend and empathize with their perspective and being transparent enough to truly observe them."
