Hugh Jackman, 56, larks around with his much younger co-star, 25, after eyebrows are raised over their racy sex scenes in new play

BBG News

Currently, Hugh Jackman is acting alongside 25-year-old Ella Beatty in a play, and on Wednesday, they were caught having fun during practice sessions.

56-year-old actor from The Wolverine posted pictures on social media showing him and Ella joking around during a brief pause.

Hugh embraced the blossoming actress, who’s the daughter of esteemed actor Warren Beatty, with a broad smile on his face, confidently flashing a thumbs-up at the camera.

Simultaneously, Ella beamed with joy while she gestured towards the emblem on her blouse, saying, “Look! This is New York’s Authentic Australian Embassy.

Hugh captioned the photos with some amusing words: ‘Ella agrees!’

According to recent reports, Hugh seems to be amping up his performances – with him still being in a relationship with Broadway actress Sutton Foster.

In the provocative drama titled “Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes,” Jackman portrays Jon, a three-time divorced, middle-aged university instructor and writer, who finds himself entangled in a clandestine romance with his 19-year-old pupil Annie, portrayed by Ella Beatty.

In the bold off-Broadway production, the actor known for playing The Wolverine doesn’t shy away from explicit content – using strong language, discussing intimate details of sex, and sharing passionate kisses with Ella on numerous sensual scenes.

50-year-old Foster attempted a behind-the-scenes visit this week, aiming to dispel rumors suggesting their freshly public relationship has faced instability since its debut in January.

However, such explicit scenes in the series might prove challenging for Foster to endure, given that Hugh and Ella often share passionate kisses – at one instance passionately lip-locking on a desk with Ella, who is dressed provocatively, wrapping her legs around him.

Stirring up even more chatter, newly-surfaced pictures showing them linked arm in arm during the finale have set whispers abuzz.

The two beamed with pride, looking completely at ease with the intimate gesture. 

Beyond the passionate kissing scenes adding intensity, Hugh’s dialogue also becomes quite explicit, featuring raw, uncensored expressions about a college cheerleader supposedly performing an act on him.

The play delves deeply into complex issues surrounding consent and power dynamics. Annie, a captivated pupil enamored by Jon’s passionate novels, persistently seeks his notice, while Jon grapples with temptation, marital troubles, and the repercussions of engaging with a student.

Offstage, Hugh’s own split from Deborra-Lee Furness seems to mirror the emotional storm.

In September 2023, the actor, who had been married just once, declared his separation from Deborra-Lee Furness, aged 69, following 27 years of wedlock.

As an ardent admirer, I’ve been following their journey closely. In a heartfelt declaration, they confessed that they were taking a new path, choosing to ‘part ways’ in order to focus on their personal growth independently. This remarkable couple has been the proud parents of Oscar, now 24, and Ava, aged 19, whom they have lovingly adopted.

Hugh and Sutton’s relationship reportedly overlapped with the end of his marriage. 

For quite some time, they’ve been companions within theatrical communities, yet kept their relationship private until recently when they were snapped holding hands, causing them to make it official earlier this year.
