This paparazzi was actually tame compared to many of the more extreme ones I've seen. Good on ya.

[jackspedicy]

Well atleast he didn’t bother him too much

[adelaferreira]

Leave the men alone, give some respect and the space he needs at this difficult time !

[christiansful]

He does seem to be a really nice man — apart from being an excellent actor. See him in The Son!

[shikhab]

Seriously? Leave him.alone for gods sake🙄

[mitszub]

Wow, he must be really nice. Just having quick conversation.

[talkinsmak]

He pressed slightly too hard. He gave off the vibe of "not right now." At least his last question tried to lighten it up. Some props. They are people too tho. I think. At least some of them. Lol give them their space.

[rebeccawileslavenderrose]

He seems really down to earth...such a wonderful actor..🌹👍😎

[wisterias]

There are way more important things in the world to report than this man's private family situation. Come on! Leave him alone! This is not anyone's business. You're not his family nor a close friend. He doesn't even owe you an answer. These are just actors, stop worshipping their lives and go find something way more important to report. If I want to see Hugh Jackman, I'll rent an X-men movie.

[crissv]

I love Hugh !! I hope the best for him

[chefbenardee]

Poor hugh... it sucks having to breakup

[AnimationAntics]

This is how paparazzi should be towards people instagram of just swarming in the middle of the street or outside someone’s home, I love how this guy was calm and didn’t try to get Hugh to talk about things he wasn’t comfortable talking about

[karenmbbaxter]

We R gonna woo Deb back to you and you are getting Deb back.

[ahmadyahyal]

0:11 wtf? what the hell is even that question? What kind of answer did you anticipate?

You don't need to know more than he's the most loving and most loved.

And give these people some space will ya? They're humans too.

[masuttta]

He was graceful, but the camera man was clingy.

😱 Yo ya venía mal con el divorcio de Ewan McGregor, después vino la huelga de guinistas y actores de Hollywood y ahora ¿¿¿Hugh Jackman??? ¡¡El divorcio menos pensado!! 😵😵‍💫😮 ¿¿¿Qué la pasa al mundo?? ¿¿Nos quieren matar a todos??😱😱😱
¿¿Está cambiando el paradigma??

[DFord-rvnz]

Who gives a crap it's none of our business. Everyone's so messed up with being involved in people's personal business habits etcetera. You are not that important to have or know that information. Congratulations to the both of them for not wasting another second of each other's lives if they were unhappy. It's a mixed up crazy emotional moment in life but be the better people.

[irenerenee]

I hope he can host the next Oscars and does another next films. I miss him...

[pamelavandermey]

Have some respect for someone's personal life. It's none of anyone's business and it was an Inappropriate question, dude.

[Powers]

Damn. Haven't they been together like forever 😮
