Hugh Jackman has taken to social media to express his gratitude after receiving a Golden Globes nomination. 7NEWS
“I could feel him. I knew if he could talk to me, he’d be like, ‘You got to go to work! What are you talking about?’ I felt his presence on the set.”
“So he was ostensibly gone, mentally,” he said. “He would still smile a bit. I didn’t know he was going to physically pass away, but I knew it was kind of a goodbye.” The actor plays a workaholic father in The Son - a character who shares similarities with Jackman’s own father, who raised him as a solo parent after his mother abandoned the family when he was aged eight.
He has since reconciled with his mother, Grace, and has shared photos of their mother-son relationship on Instagram.“I had an image of him on set, standing behind the action,” Jackman continued speaking about his father’s death. “My father worked incredibly hard — looking after five kids, the weight of the world on his shoulders. I had the feeling of him being completely free. That really helped me.”
