Hugh Jackman's latest photo has the internet doing a double-take.
The Deadpool 3 actor shared a new selfie on social media earlier this week, showing the 54-year-old leaning in to embrace his sister, Zoe. Jackman continued doting in the caption of the Aug. 22 upload, gushing, "I am so grateful for my sister Zoe."
Fans appreciated the sweet moment highlighting sibling love, but they were also stunned by their uncanny resemblance to one another.
"Wolverine and Wolverina," one person joked in the comments on Jackman’s Instagram post.
Added another, "She looks just like you or you look just like her."
"Could be twins 🤍✨," a third shared.
Considering how proud Jackman is to share sweet messages about his relatives online, a strong family bond is clearly important to him. Though, it wasn't always so simple.
Speaking with Parade in 2015, Jackman recalled how his parents' divorce really affected him growing up.
"I was volatile. My mum left when I was 8. Anger didn’t really surface until I was 12 or 13," he recalled. "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 went on, "From the moment Mum left, I was a fearful kid who felt powerless. I was the youngest. [Jackman has four older siblings: two brothers, Ian and Ralph, and two sisters, Zoe and Sonya.] I used to be the first one home and I was frightened to go inside. I couldn’t go into the house on my own. I’d wait outside, scared, frustrated. Growing up I was scared of the dark. I was scared of heights. It limited me. I hated it, and that contributed to my anger. Isn’t most anger fear-based, ultimately? It emanates from some kind of powerlessness. I was really feeling that."
But with therapy, Jackman has been able to process his emotions in a safe environment and restore fantastic relationships with his relatives.
"I just started it recently. It helped me a lot. We all need a village," he told Who magazine, Today reports, adding that "having someone really smart, who's a little bit removed from your world, can be really helpful."
"Most importantly, it's helping me to be more relational with the people I love in my life, and really understanding and living in their shoes and being clear to be able to see them."
