Hugh Jackman has slowly rebuilt a relationship with his estranged mum, after she abandoned him when he was a child.
Hugh Jackman has posted a loving photo with his mother on social media, showing how hard the pair have worked at rekindling their relationship.
The Australian actor, 52, has been open about his fraught past with his mother, Grace McNeil, after she abandoned him when he was just eight.
They now enjoy a close bond, with the father-of-two sharing the recent photo on his Instagram page with the caption, “Mum”.
But The Greatest Showman star has previously opened up about his “traumatic” childhood, which saw Grace move back to the UK leaving her family behind in Sydney, later informing them via telegram.

“I can remember the morning she left, it’s weird the things you pick up. I remember her being in a towel around her head and saying goodbye, must have been the way she said goodbye,” he told 60 Minutes in an emotional interview in 2012.
“As I went off to school, when I came back, there was no one there in the house.
“The next day there was a telegram from England. Mum was there. And then that was it.
“I don’t think she thought for a second it would be forever. I think she thought it was, ‘I just need to get away, and I’ll come back.’ Dad used to pray every night that Mum would come back.”
Hugh’s father Chris, mother Grace, and four siblings Ralph, Zoe, Sonia and Ian, all migrated to Australia in 1967 as part of the Ten Pound Poms migration scheme. Hugh was then born in Sydney in 1968.

After Grace moved back to the UK in the late ’70s, Hugh’s parents later divorced, and Hugh’s two sisters eventually joined Grace while the budding actor remained in Sydney with his father and two brothers.
Over the years, the X-Men star has slowly built a relationship with his mother again.
“As I grew older I gained an understanding of why Mum did leave,” Hugh told The Sun in 2011. “We have definitely made our peace, which is important.”
He added in a 2012 interview with Women’s Weekly: “The thing I never felt and I know this might sound strange, I never felt that my mum didn’t love me. I’ve spoken about it at length with her since and I know she was struggling.”
Hugh, who shares two adopted children with his wife Deborra-lee Furness, has maintained a loving relationship with his dad, telling 60 Minutes Chris was his “rock”.
“My father is a rock. My father is my rock. It’s where I learned everything about loyalty, dependability, being there day in, day out, no matter what … It’s always about the family,” he said.
