Painful childhood

Six years ago, Jackman opened up about his painful childhood, adding that it took four years after being abandoned for his anger to manifest. According to him, being left that young rendered him a fearful child who felt powerless, but at the same time volatile.

“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," he said.
