Hugh Jackman’s wife slams ‘lucky’ tag

Hugh Jackman’s wife hates people saying she is  »lucky » to have married him.

Deborra-Lee Furness – who has adopted children Oscar, 14, and Ava, nine, with the ‘Wolverine’ actor, who she married in 1996 – feels  »put down » by the demeaning label.

She told Australian Woman’s Weekly magazine:  »That to me is a putdown. [It’s] like you suggesting I won the chook raffle. »

The 58-year-old producer also spoke of her belief that there is no such thing as luck but everyone  »creates their own destiny ».

She added:  »If you want something, you put it out there with good intention and you realize it. »

And Deborra – who campaigns for the streamlining of international adoption laws – has advised people not to judge the lives of others as it is difficult to know the  »challenges » another person faces in their lives.

She said:  »When people look at my life, they don’t know the challenges [I face], just like I don’t know someone else’s [challenges].

 »With every privilege, comes responsibility and challenges. »

Hugh, 45, has previously spoken of his love of his  »beautiful, amazing » wife and how much they enjoy dates nights together.

Asked the secret of a happy marriage and family life, he once said:  »Make sure you have a date night just the two of you together, without the kids.

 »And don’t be afraid to tell your kids that you have no idea what you’re doing either. »
