Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness’ luxury $40m five-bedroom Sydney mansion hits the market following their shock split
A home in Sydney’s Woollahra, which was rented by Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness when he filmed X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2008, has hit the market.
The Australian actor, 54, and his estranged wife rented the property from James Dack and his wife, daughter of the Hungry Jacks founder, Mary Cowin Dack.
James and Mary had bought the five-bedroom, six-bathroom home for $10.6million in 2011 from property developer Rob Palmer and his wife, Inge.
The stunning property features spacious living areas as well as a private pool and a tennis court.
After Hugh and Deborra-Lee left the property, it was listed on the rental market for $5000-a-week.

According to realestate.com.au, the mansion could sell between $36-$40million.
It comes after Hugh and Deborra-Lee shocked fans when they announced they were divorcing after 27 years of marriage last month.
‘We have been blessed to share almost three decades together in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth,’ the couple said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.
‘Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition.’

The former couple signed the statement as ‘Deb and Hugh Jackman,’ adding: ‘This is the sole statement either of us will make.’
The Australian couple share two children together; Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18.
Last April, the pair celebrated their anniversary and Jackman had posted a gushing tribute to his wife on Instagram.
‘I love you Deb. Today is our 27th wedding anniversary. 27 years! I love you so much,’ the actor wrote in his caption.
‘Together we have created a beautiful family. And life. Your laughter, your spirit, generosity, humour, cheekiness, courage, and loyalty is an incredible gift to me. I love you with all my heart,’ he shared in the heartfelt post.

While he is undoubtedly more well known than his wife, Deborra-Lee had already shot 20 movies by the time she and Hugh met while costarring as a prison psychologist and a brain-damaged convict in ABC TV’s 10-episode series Correlli in 1995.
Deborra-Lee most recently played Jill Bailey alongside Eric Bana in Robert Connolly’s sequel Force of Nature: The Dry 2, which was released in Australian and New Zealand theaters on August 24.
In February, Hugh told Smooth Radio: ‘I think honesty and intimacy and making time [are the secret to a long and happy marriage]. You can’t just assume that things will just tick along okay. You have to make time.’
