For those unversed, Jackman has always been open by his estranged relationship with his mother who left when he was 8-years-old and allegedly broke her promise to reconcile with his father at the time.

During a past interview with People magazine, the actor was quoted saying, “My anger didn't really surface until I was 12 or 13. It was triggered because my parents were going to get reconciled and didn't. All those years I'd been holding out hope that they would.”
