He dances, he sings, he acts. But does that make actor Hugh Jackman gay? Most definitely not.

The Aussie actor, currently on the promotional trail for his upcoming film "The Wolverine", has once again thrown the closet doors open wide in an interview to reveal he's a just talented family man in love with his wife and children.

Talking to 60 Minutes, Jackman said: "If I was [gay], I would be [gay]."

While the rumours are mildly irritating for Jackman, they're worse for his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.

"I don’t think – it’s to me not the most interesting thing about a person anyway, but ah - I do get frustrated for Deb, 'cause I see Deb go 'Ah,this is crazy'."

And Furness's take on the persistent gay rumours that plague her husband? "It is just wrong, it’s like, it’s a lie," Furness said.

"It’s just – the bottom line, so it’s just offensive. If he was gay, fine, he would say he’s gay.

"It has gotten so out of whack that they – it’s stupid, yeah, it’s annoying, because it’s not true."

The pair have been married for 17 years, and have two adopted children together.
