Hugh Jackman celebrated his 56th birthday in a new social media post.
The Deadpool & Wolverine star took to Instagram on Monday to thank family and friends for their 'love' following a tumultuous year.
'Thank you all for the amazing birthday love! I am grateful. #thisis56' she wrote alongside photos of herself blowing out a candle on top of a birthday cake.
The post comes amid reports that family and friends are 'concerned' about Hugh following his split from wife Deborah-Leigh Furness a year ago after 27 years of marriage.
The Australian actor is putting the finishing touches on his tell-all memoir, which promises to drop major bombshells about his career, and a close friend says he's terrified of opening up.
“He's nervous because he's always hiding behind his characters or his family,” a source told Woman's Day.
'He's never felt like this real tough guy he's made himself out to be, and he's worried that his natural-born unattractiveness will ruin his image,' they added, acknowledging that many in Huck's circle worry about him.
'Honestly, we're all a bit worried about him. He was so focused on Deb and the kids and making sure they were all taken care of in this divorce that he got lost there.

Fans have been speculating about what the big reveal in the memoir will be, and a source has claimed that Hugh is feeling more comfortable with ex-wife Deborah, 68, as things have settled down.
'A lot of explaining to do! She's in a very comfortable situation with Depp now… they have a comfortable and supportive friendship now and they're both very happy,' said a family friend.
Hugh has been leading a single life since ending his marriage last year.

'Now that our journey is changing, we have decided to part ways to pursue our personal growth.

'Our family will always be our highest priority. We take on this next chapter with gratitude, love and grace.

They tied the knot on April 11, 1996, less than a year after they met, saying 'I do' at a Melbourne church. He was 27 then, she was 41.
