The actors first crossed paths in 1995 while filming the Aussie TV series Correlli.

Furness was 39 at the time and Jackman a precious 26. Apparently, despite the 13-year age gap, the attraction was instant.

Though Jackman reportedly tried to play it cool by not asking her to marry him for at least six months (that’s right, his grand plan not to come on too strong was to wait a full six months before popping the question), he failed and asked her after four.

They married on April 11, 1996, adopted two children to complete their family, and defied Hollywood tradition by living happily ever after.
