After Hugh Jackman split from his longtime wife Deborra-Lee Furness, many have speculated about when he might re-enter the dating scene. Interestingly, one of his close friends is reportedly eager to play matchmaker, but their close bond could present some challenges for potential dates.
Believe it or not, Hugh Jackman and Taylor Swift have been friends for over a decade. While some think their friendship blossomed through Swift’s close ties with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, it actually dates back to Swift’s involvement in the 2012 film, *Les Misérables*.
A source told Life and Style Magazine, “Taylor has been close to Hugh for a long time. They first got to know each other more than a decade ago when she was up for a role in *Les Misérables*.” Jackman starred as Jean Valjean in the film, and although Swift auditioned for the role of Éponine, the part eventually went to Samantha Barks.
The source elaborated, “She didn’t end up getting cast, but he was a huge supporter to her through the process and mentored her. So they built a real bond that lasted.”
However, when Hugh does start dating again, it might be challenging because of how close he and Taylor are. “When Hugh does start seeing someone new, it may be a little tougher because it’s hard to imagine a woman not feeling threatened by Taylor and how close she is to Hugh,” the source said.
On the other hand, Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce reportedly isn’t bothered by this close friendship. “In a lot of ways, [Hugh is] like an older brother to her, and Travis is perfectly okay with it,” they added.
This enduring friendship between Swift and Jackman is heartwarming, and hopefully, Taylor can assist one of her closest friends in finding happiness in his personal life!
