Hugh Jackman 'Not Allowed' to Work with Angelina Jolie, Says Wife

Hugh Jackman is the calibre of actor who could land any role he wants. But his wife of almost 20 years years is putting her foot down when it comes to Hugh's on-screen lovers.

During an interview with The Today Show, Deborra, 59, joked she's made sure her husband doesn't get cast alongside Angelina.

"I've told his agent he's not allowed to work with Angelina," Deborra said. "I’m sure she’s very nice and I love what she’s doing – shining a light on awareness for adoption..."

Though she's just "kidding" about the Ange ban, there's one rule the Australian actress has set to ensure a happy marriage.

Speaking about how they've managed to stay together for almost two decades, the Wolverine actor, 46, revealed, "Deborra had a rule – never apart for more than two weeks."

He added, "Deb had been on enough sets to see the pitfalls…it was my first job when we met, I didn’t know anything else but we’ve never been apart for more than two weeks. We’ve managed to keep that."
