If nothing else it shows that there are plenty of people out there who care about him.
Hugh Jackman is one of Hollywood’s most popular leading men. Part of his allure – apart from the fact that he comes across as a really nice chap – is that he is a throwback to Tinseltown’s more glamorous age. He acts and looks like a alpha-male, and can play debonair charmers and muscular action heroes with equal aplomb.
However, one of the symptoms of being the very embodiment of big screen masculinity for many is that any physical deviation from the archetype can cause people to be thrown into a mild tizzy. If he puts on excess weight, that’s headline news; if he loses any of his bulk, people automatically assume that he must be ill.
That seems to be the case with the current speculation – and heartfelt concern – over his well-being, after the Australian posted an image of himself on Instagram.
The image above is accompanied by the description, ‘Now that’s what I’m talking about!’, presumably referring to the delicious looking grilled fish in the foreground of the picture. Although many are far more concerned with Jackman’s appearance than that of the Catch of the Day.
“I’m worried about you,” expresses one follower while another adds “Wow, are you okay? You look a little frail.” And that’s far from the end of it…

Is it just me or does Hugh Jackman look ill?

As the latest Instagram post Jackman reveals, he’s in high spirits and is cheering on the Australian Olympic team.
