Eagle-eyed fans have noticed a hidden detail in Hugh Jackman’s recent Instagram post shared over the weekend. The Wolverine actor, who is currently spending time in Australia over the Christmas period, posted a gallery of snaps showcasing his recent adventures Down Under including a Sydney Harbour cruise.

The first photo shows Hugh smiling at the camera on the boat with a view of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge behind him. While fans took to the comments to say they were thrilled to see him so happy, many people also noticed in the reflection of his aviator sunglasses that a woman took the photo.

“Who's the woman on your sunglasses?” one follower wrote, while another added, “I did the very same”.

“You’ve got good eye spy skills!” a third replied.

Plenty of fans assumed that the woman in Hugh’s sunglasses must be Sutton Foster, who he is rumoured to be dating after they both split from their longtime partners.

Sutton filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years, Ted Griffin, in October amid rumours she and Hugh, who worked together on The Music Man from December 2021 to January 2023, were romantically involved. Meanwhile, Hugh and his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness announced they were divorcing after 27 years of marriage in September last year.

However, Sutton is currently starring in the musical Once Upon A Mattress in Los Angeles.

Photos published by Daily Mail last week show that Hugh instead went on the cruise with his two children, Oscar and Ava, and a group of friends - one of which was the woman who took the photo of Hugh in his sunglasses.

Hugh’s Instagram gallery also features a photo where he has his arm around a shirtless man as they sit on the boat together. Fans couldn’t believe how similar the pair looked, with many assuming it must be Hugh’s brother.

“Second photo shows Jackman genes are 🔥” one person commented, while another added, “Who is the multiverse Hugh Jackman on pic 2?”.

“Who’s that man you’re with?” someone else asked, with a different user replying, “His brother I think look at him he is the blonde version of Hugh”.

The man is actually Hugh’s best friend and personal trainer Michael Ryan, who he has known for over 30 years after meeting him at the gym.

The duo have been spending almost every day together since Hugh has been back in Australia for the holidays, enjoying brunch at a North Bondi café and going to a Bondi gym together.
