Hugh Jackman & Sutton Foster's Flirtatious Stage Moment Surfaces: Chemistry Beyond the Script!

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster's palpable chemistry is on full display in a recently resurfaced clip of the pair on stage in The Music Man, back in 2022

SHOCKING TWIST: HUGH JACKMAN'S SECRET ROMANCE WITH SUTTON FOSTER EXPOSED!

Get ready for a scandal that's about to rock the entertainment industry! Sources close to the star-studded couple have confirmed that Hugh Jackman, 56, and Sutton Foster, 50, were secretly dating long before they went public with their romance in January this year. And it seems their chemistry was sizzling even back in 2022, when they starred together on Broadway in the hit musical The Music Man!

But what's got tongues wagging is a resurfaced clip from 2022 that shows the co-stars' undeniable sparks flying during a performance of The Music Man. The video, uploaded to TikTok by user HuaHua.png, captures the tension between Foster's character Marian Paroo and Jackman's charming con man Harold Hill. But things take a dramatic turn when Jackman goes off-script and playfully sashays towards his co-star, causing Foster to break character and laugh along with the audience.

The video shows a 'fourth wall' breaking moment where Jackman goes off-script and playfully begins to sashay toward his co-star while beginning to remove his jacket

The caption on the video reads: "If you're surprised by Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, let me remind you this is how freaked out they were during Music Man in 2022." But while the audience seemed to be enjoying the playful exchange, fans in the comments weren't so impressed. Some slammed the pair for "ruining" the scene with their cheeky improvisation, while others claimed that the exchange was not as spontaneous as it seemed.

"It's clear they did this little 'fake break' every night," one theatre fan suggested, while another offered: "The fact that this 'break' was written into the production is so embarrassing." But not everyone was critical of the pair. One fan jumped to their defense, saying: "No one in these comments knows how to have fun. I saw this production twice and thought they were funny and charming – it's the only time I've ever liked Marion."

But what's really got people talking is the drama surrounding Jackman's split from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, in September last year. Furness has since opened up about her feelings of "betrayal" in a blistering statement to thescholarlynote.com.

The display caused Foster to break character too, laughing along with the audience at Hugh's flirtatious advance

"My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal," she said. "It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us."

She continued: "This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.

"It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom." And Furness made one thing clear: "None of this is personal."

'I saw this production,' one theatregoer commented. 'Their consistent breaking of the fourth wall and mugging to the audience really ruined a wonderful musical. I was very disappointed'

But what's really got people talking is that Jackman was left "extremely disappointed" by Furness' words, according to a source close to the situation. The insider revealed that there was an "unwritten understanding" between the couple that they would not publicly trash each other. But Furness seems to have gotten around this rule, focusing on her own feelings rather than directly attacking Jackman.

As for the future of their romance, it's clear that Jackman and Foster are still going strong. They were spotted getting cozy at a recent event, with insiders revealing that they're head over heels in love. But will their relationship be able to withstand the scrutiny of the public eye? Only time will tell!

In related news, Sutton Foster has filed for divorce from her husband Ted Griffin in October last year, citing "irreconcilable differences." And it seems Jackman's split from Furness has left him feeling a bit "burned" – but he's clearly moved on with his new romance.

It comes after Hugh's ex wife Deborra-Lee Furness (pictured)  opened up about her feelings of 'betrayal' in a blistering statement to the Daily Mail last month
