Hugh Jackman makes shock admission that he’s had tantrums on film sets and is ‘not proud’ of his behavior: ‘I’m not always nice’, and there was a time that film was completely…

Hugh Jackman has a reputation as one of the nicest guys in showbiz.

But the Australian actor has admitted that he’s not always as lovely as he seems, and is ‘not proud’ of some of his past behaviour on film sets.

‘I’m not always nice,’ the 55-year-old confessed in a candid interview with The Guardian last year, which has resurfaced this week on social media.

‘I’ve had my moments on set, for sure, when I haven’t been nice’ the Wolverine star continued.

‘And I’ve behaved sometimes on set where I’ve yelled a bit or done something where I’ve been angry that I’m not proud of.’

Hugh says that he always feels regretful if he behaves in ways that do not align with how he was raised.

‘I had a great example, particularly from my father, of always trying to be respectful. Everyone is trying their hardest’ he said.

‘And my experience is if you turn up, you give everything, you act respectfully, then that’s generally what you get from other people.’

It comes after Hugh revealed the toughest part of returning to his role as superhero Wolverine in the latest Deadpool film.

The Australian actor reprises the role that made him a household name for the latest installment in the franchise, Deadpool & Wolverine. n

He says that as age catches up to him, training to transform himself into the buff big screen beast is tougher than ever.

‘The hardest bit … [was] the food,’ the Free Guy actor told People magazine this week.

‘I have to eat a lot. For me, for my body type, I’m naturally skinny. To get the size on, that’s the hardest bit. That’s the bit that does my head in.’

He added: ‘My body was a little sore at the beginning, but I was thrilled that my body was still responding. And I realised how good it is for your brain.

Hugh announced his shock split from his Deborra-Lee in September after 27 years of marriage, telling fans they separated ‘to pursue our individual growth’.

He shares two adopted children – son Oscar, 24, and daughter Ava, 18, – with his former wife.

‘We have been blessed to share almost three decades together in a wonderful, loving marriage,’ the couple said in a statement to People.

‘Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.

‘Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition.’

The couple had tied the knot in 1996 after crossing paths on set of Correlli in 1995.

An insider previously told ET that there ‘is no animosity’ between the exes.

‘Hugh and Deborra-Lee are both on different pages and in separate chapters of their lives,’ they said.

‘They felt like it was time to divorce, but they still maintain a happy and cordial friendship.’

The source went on to say that Hugh and Deborra-Lee are ‘appreciative of their many years together and children.’

‘At the end of the day, it was their collective agreement to go their separate ways and do the healthiest thing for everyone involved,’ they added.
