Hugh Jackman Rumored to be Gay Explains Why He went to Gay Bars


Hugh Jackman who has had to deal with rumors that he’s gay for much of his career admits he used to frequent gay clubs but not for the obvious reasons. The recently crowned People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive actor says he and his best friend used to frequent the nightspots as teenagers so they could prey on unsuspecting girls.
He said: “I probably shouldn’t be saying this, but I remember when I was about 19, me and my friend used to go to these dance parties which were 80 per cent gay guys, 18 per cent girls who were sick of heterosexual guys hitting on them, and then vultures like me and my mate. We would go there until two in the morning, when the girls were really drunk and wishing they weren’t with 80 percent gay guys. I’m the worst kind of straight guy. The leech! The vulture!”
Kind of a strange thing to divulge in an interview but I guess it was meant to kill the gay rumors that follow him. Hugh also said he’s not satisfied with winning People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive just one time saying: “I’m not resting, mate. I’m not a one-term winner here. I want two terms, three, four, something like that. Brad Pitt’s had two but never back-to-back. That’s my goal.”
One thing Hugh doesn’t plan to hold onto if it’s not well received, is his role as Wolverine in the X-Men franchise, if viewers aren’t impressed by his spin-off movie. Jackman, who has already starred in three of the comic book adaptations, will be seen reprising his role as the superhero in the forthcoming picture which is due to hit cinemas in May (09). But he insists that if the prequel fails to match the success of the previous X-Men films, he will quit the franchise altogether. He tells Moviehole.net:
“If it’s clear to us on May second or third that that’s gone, then I’ll walk away happily. I’m not going to flog something – or flog a dead horse, or try and make movies that people don’t really want to go and see. I have no interest in that. Even no matter how much I love the character. So there are many prerequisites”.
If the movie does garner impressive box office figures, the actor would be keen to sign for a follow-up – but only if the right script comes along.
He adds, “There’s a few storylines that are running my head which I think would be really cool, but unless the script is right, then I just don’t see the point in doing it. I’m probably at the point in my career where I don’t need it. And the last thing I want to do is just to push it on people, if it doesn’t warrant a full feature movie.”
