However, Furness then put the jokes aside to reiterate that the persistent badgering was “just wrong.”

Jackman and Furness met in 1995 on the set of the Australian TV series “Correlli” and appeared to have a happy marriage for nearly three decades.

Their 13-year age gap was always a topic of discussion amongst the peanut gallery, but “Wolverine” star maintained that he was the more mature one in the relationship.

“She’s just like a little kid,” he told People in 2017.

“There have been rumors for years that it was a marriage of convenience but they’ve always maintained it was the real deal.”

• Les Misérables (2012) — an Oscar-nominated performance
