In recent days, Hugh Jackman (56) has been in the news for different reasons. On a professional level, his name, along with his friend Ryan Reynolds (47), is being considered to host the next Oscars ceremony and his leading role alongside Kate Hudson (45) in Song Sung Blue has been confirmed, a new biopic based on the life of Neil Diamond (83).

The most revealing fact is related to all aspects of his life, as at 56 years old, he has decided that it is time to write his biography. It has been revealed that he will share quite explosive things that people are unaware of. For the X-Men star, it is like a kind of catharsis. The American weekly magazine US Weekly has reported that the actor has decided to write it now "because he is finally being honest with himself and about the divorce." The couple amicably split and have two children, Oscar Maximilian (24) and Ava Eliot (19).

On a personal note, he stands out for the urgent plea for help he has made to find a missing friend for the past two weeks. The friend is dancer Zelig Williams (28), with whom he shared the successful theatrical tour of The Greatest Showman in 2019. "Please, share this message. If anyone has any information about his whereabouts, please contact local authorities. We love you and pray for your safe return," he wrote on his public profile. It is an emergency situation, as his loved ones do not know if he is injured, being held against his will, or if he has passed away due to an accident.

The Australian star is not going through one of his best moments since his separation from his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness (68), last September, after almost three decades of love. Apparently, some of his close friends have confessed to Woman's Day magazine that "we were all a little worried about him. He was so focused on Del and the kids and making sure everyone was well taken care of in this divorce, that he kind of lost himself in that process." They also claim that he is worried about his image "as he has never felt like the tough guy he is said to be and he is concerned that his innate shyness will ruin his image."
