Hugh Jackman may settle in London

Currently, the actor is in London as he is filming his new project - ‘Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Movie’. 

Though the actor was born in Sydney, Australia to a set of British parents, Jackman’s mother and sister currently reside in the British metropolis. Thus the insider close to the star shared with new Idea that ‘The Prestige’ actor might consider moving to London permanently - to stay near to his family, per Daily Mail.

His only driving force, however, would not only be to be near his family but also to find love, shared the insider. 

The source revealed, “He wants to be closer to his mum and sister who are based there – and possibly to find love again.”

The insider added that Jackman wants someone with whom he can work on his charity projects, saying, “He really wants to find somebody who can help him make the world a better place and put the goodwill he's earned after 25 years in Hollywood to work for something more than his stardom.”

They added, “He is committed to branching outside of his entertainment industry bubble to find somebody he can spend the rest of his life with, and who can help him put his fortune to good use around the world.”

If the ‘Logan’ actor finally makes the UK his home, it would not be the first time he would stay there. In 1987, when he was just a teenager, Jackman spent his gap year in the UK working as a school teacher.
