Hugh Jackman Sparks Gossip with Young Co-Star in Steamy New Play!
Hugh Jackman Brings the Heat On and Off Stage with Young Co-Star Ella Beatty and New Girlfriend Sutton Foster
The Wolverine actor, 56, is currently sizzling in a provocative off-Broadway show, Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, where he plays Jon, a middle-aged college professor who embarks on a forbidden romance with his 19-year-old student Annie, played by 25-year-old Ella Beatty. But it's not just the steamy make-out scenes and graphic language that are turning up the heat – Hugh's personal life is also making headlines!
As reported earlier this year, Hugh has been dating Broadway actress Sutton Foster, 50, but their relationship seems to be on shaky ground since going public in January. However, the two were spotted holding hands during a curtain call at the show, sending tongues wagging among fans and paparazzi.
But it's not just Hugh's romance with Sutton that's got everyone talking – he's also been getting cozy with his young co-star Ella Beatty. The pair were seen larking around during rehearsals, with Hugh sharing adorable photos on social media of the two hamming it up together. In one snap, Hugh is beaming from ear to ear as he gives a thumbs-up to the camera, while Ella is all smiles as she points to the logo on her shirt reading "New York's Real Aussie Embassy."
When asked about their relationship, Hugh captioned the photos with a cheeky "Ella agrees!" But it seems that Ella's dad, Hollywood legend Warren Beatty, might have something to say about his daughter's budding romance with the 56-year-old actor. After all, Ella is still just 25 years old – and Hugh has already been married once before, announcing his split from Deborra-Lee Furness in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage.
The split was reportedly amicable, with the couple saying they were "shifting" and decided to "separate to pursue our individual growth." But it seems that Hugh's new romance with Sutton might have overlapped with the end of his marriage. The two had been friends for years in the same theatre circles but only went public after being photographed holding hands earlier this year.
But what about the controversy surrounding Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes? The play digs deep into messy questions of consent and power, with Annie chasing Jon's attention while he battles temptation and a failing marriage. Offstage, it seems that Hugh is bringing his own personal drama to the show – including a barrage of expletives and graphic language that might make even the most seasoned actor blush.
In one steamy scene, Jon locks lips with Annie on a desk as she wraps her legs around him – but it's not just the make-out moments that are turning up the heat. Hugh unleashes a flurry of explicit language, including blunt lines about a college cheerleader "sucking his c*." It's no wonder that Sutton was spotted trying to quiet whispers that their relationship has been on shaky ground since going public.
But despite all the drama, it seems that Hugh and Ella are having the time of their lives on stage. And who can blame them? The play is a provocative exploration of complex themes, with Hugh delivering a raw and emotional performance as Jon. But offstage, it's clear that Hugh has his work cut out for him – keeping up with Sutton's demands while navigating the gossip mill is no easy feat!
So, what does the future hold for Hugh Jackman? Will he continue to bring the heat on stage and off, or will he take a break from the spotlight to focus on his personal life? One thing's for sure – fans can't get enough of this Wolverine's drama-filled romance with Sutton Foster and young co-star Ella Beatty.
