Oscar Maximilian Jackman
Family Member
Son of Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness. He was adopted after his parents were unable to have children of their own, but still wanted to start a family.
He was adopted after the couple realized they could not have biological children of their own.
He and his sister Ava got caught in a riptide while swimming off the coast of Sydney and their father was ultimately the one who came to their rescue with the assistance of another man.
He and his sister Ava are both mixed race, a fact that Jackman and Furness deemed non-negotiable when they started the adoption process.
Tom Cruise, Madonna and Connie Britton are also celebrities who have adopted children.
