AceShowbiz - Speaking in an interview with Kevin Frazier for ET Online, Hugh Jackman jokingly responded to his wife Deborra-Lee Furness' recent remark banning him from co-starring with Angelina Jolie. The news outlet caught up with the star of "The Wolverine" over the weekend at the site's Comic-Con suite at the Hard Rock Hotel.
"Deb and I have been married for 20 years. We have a lot of rules. We've very balanced," Jackman told Frazier. "So she said that - as long as she doesn't work with Brad Pitt, we're cool."
During the interview, Jackman also commented on Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Instagram video claiming he was "tougher" than Jackman. "It's absolutely true - 100 percent true," Jackman said. "Dwayne, you're the man!"
Furness joked about banning Jackman from working with Jolie in joint interview with him on Australia's "Today Show" earlier this month. "I've told his agent he's not allowed to work with Angelina, I'm sure she's lovely," she said. She later noted that she's "just kidding," adding, "I'm sure she's lovely."
The couple, who got married in 1996, said that not being apart for more than two weeks was one of the secrets to their happy marriage. "Deb had been on enough sets to see the pitfalls...It was my first job when we met," Jackman added. "I didn't know anything else but we've never been apart for more than two weeks. We've managed to keep that."
