Hugh Jackman, renowned as Wolverine in the X-Men series, and his sister Zoe, affectionately dubbed “Wolverine and Wolverina” by their fans online, have recently taken the internet by storm due to their astonishingly strong resemblance, sparking countless conversations and awe-stricken reactions across social media.
His sister is older.
Intriguingly, Zoe is the older of the two siblings, a fact that adds an intriguing layer to their already fascinating family dynamics. On August 22, 2023, Hugh Jackman decided to celebrate this special bond, taking to Instagram to share a heartfelt selfie capturing a cherished moment with his sister. In the caption accompanying the photo, the accomplished actor expressed his deep gratitude for Zoe, touching the hearts of his followers, writing, “I am so grateful for my sister Zoe.”
The comments on the post poured in rapidly, with virtually all of them emphasizing the uncanny likeness between the siblings. One admirer wrote, “She looks just like you, or you look just like her,” encapsulating the sentiment of many.
Hugh Jackman and Zoe were raised in separate countries.
However, what makes their striking resemblance even more remarkable is the divergence in their upbringing. Hugh, along with his brothers Ian and Ralph, was raised in Australia by their late father, Christopher Jackman. In contrast, Zoe and her sister Sonya grew up in the UK under the care of their mother, Grace McNeil. This geographical separation was a direct consequence of their parents’ tumultuous divorce, which had a profound impact on the lives of these five siblings.
In a poignant interview, Hugh Jackman revealed that he didn’t fully grasp the permanence of his mother’s absence until he was around 12 or 13 years old, as he held onto the hope that she might return. “I thought she was probably going to come back. And then it sort of dragged on and on,” he said. This hope eventually gave way to the reality of seeing his mother only “once a year” thereafter. The journey of reconciliation between the seasoned Hollywood star and his mother reached a heartwarming milestone in 2021 when he shared touching pictures of their joyful embrace.
