Idky but "I’ll wait to be gay when there’s more gayness” has me in tears😂

Edit: I thought this guy was gay himself but he's just a straight guy who's waiting for the perfect role to play gay?

Also, did he just call Rupert Murdoch's bff an empty shell?

I don't trust Hugh and Nicole after learning about that Murdoch shit.

That reminds me... Are Hugh and his wife still besties with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner? I remember back when he was defending his friendship with them and I was just, like, 🤨😑.

Ya, there were pics of him and his wife hugging/talking to Ivanka and Jared at the lobby of their building after what looked like a dinner. They're real friends not Hollywood "friends" with two of the most VILE families in the world so when it quacks like a duck🤔

I thought of the Pedro Almodóvar film and was very confused since I knew Jackman was definitely not in that.

probably bc it was a tv movie released in September, like a total TV dead zone. the ppl who love it really love it, I think someone on a recent episode of the Little Gold Men podcast said it could’ve been his Oscar vehicle
