Hugh Jackman recently found himself at the center of online criticism after a well-intentioned gesture at a cinema in Wisconsin. The actor, seen serving frozen custard to moviegoers at a screening of his new film, "Song Sung Blue," was accused by some social media users of staging a publicity stunt.
This incident follows public scrutiny since his separation from wife Deborra-Lee Furness in 2023. Jackman's confirmed romance with Sutton Foster earlier this year also divided fans, with some showing support and others expressing disappointment and siding with his ex-wife.
Reports suggest a potential strain on his relationship with Furness, as she reportedly grew annoyed by public displays of affection between Jackman and Foster. While Jackman is reportedly trying to mend fences with his ex-wife, public perception remains mixed regarding his recent actions and personal life.
