Jackman forced to deny queer rumours again
Hugh Jackman has questioned why Americans are so fascinated with his sexuality and Australians are not.
The Wolverine star and reigning Sexiest Man Alive has repeatedly had to deny he is same-sex attracted and in a fresh interview with Parade magazine he again has confirmed he is heterosexual.
"The questions about sexuality I spot more here in America than anywhere else, because it's a big hang-up and defines what people think about themselves and others," Jackman told Parade.
"It's not a big issue in Australia."
Jackman also said he was uncomfortable denying he was gay.
"I'd be happy to go and deny it, because I'm not," he said.
"But by denying it, I'm saying there is something shameful about it and there isn't anything shameful."
The Sydney-born star has been married to Australian actress Deborra-Lee Furness for 13 years and the couple has two adopted children, eight-year-old Oscar and three-year-old Ava.
Jackman and Furness were always open to adopting mixed-race children, the actor said.

Jackman, who in the past has starred as the flamboyant lead of the Broadway show "The Lad from Oz," finds the accusations, as flattering as they are, frustrating. He also just feels terrible for his wife.
"It's, to me, not the most interesting thing about a person, anyway," he said. "I do get frustrated for Deb, cause I see Deb go, 'Ah, this is just crazy!'"
Furness just finds the questioning "offensive."
"If he was same-sex attracted, fine, he would tell he's gay," she said. "It's annoying because it's not true."
This isn't the first time Jackman has spoken out about how the rumors affect his wife.
