AceShowbiz - Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness dropped by Australia's "Today Show" on Monday, July 6. In an interview with the show, the Australian actress jokingly said that she had made arrangement to make sure her husband wouldn't work together with Angelina Jolie.
"I've told his agent he's not allowed to work with Angelina," Furness said. However, she later noted that she's "just kidding," adding, "I'm sure she's lovely."
Jokes aside, the couple later opened up about the secret behind their long lasting marriage. "That's the deal with this business. If you get it right, if you pick the right partner, then, you traverse all those travails and challenges," Furness explained.
"Deb had a rule, never apart for more than two weeks," Jackman chimed in. "Deb had been on enough sets to see the pitfalls...It was my first job when we met, I didn't know anything else but we've never been apart for more than two weeks. We've managed to keep that."
Furness quickly added, "And we don't want to be. He tells really good jokes, I mean I miss him."
During the interview the couple also discussed their organization, Adopt Change, which aims at trying to make adoption easier in Australia.
Jackman and Furness tied the knot in 1996. The couple, who has been struggling to conceive a child naturally, has two adopted children, 14-year-old Oscar and 9-year-old Ava.
