With the release of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," Hugh Jackman is reprising his role as the irascibly manly and overtly heterosexual Wolverine. And yet, because the actor can also sing, dance and come across as fancily charming, rumors of him being secretly homosexual persist, despite his repeated denials (and those of his wife and kids). Any individual an inch less classy would have bared his claws and torn up the next interviewer who persisted down that rabbit hole, but Jackman responds with tact and grace (in the interview below). Which will probably be enough to give the rumor credence in certain people’s minds. Small wonder why they have such trouble recognizing genuine class and confusing it with a particular sexuality.
