Hugh Jackman says he’s not his wife’s “type” in a new interview, claiming that in fact Deborra-Lee prefers the “bad boys”.

“I’m really not my wife’s type,” Hugh told the Kyle & Jackie O Show on KIISFM.

Hugh, 46 and Deb, have been together for nearly 20 years but he revealed that originally she preferred a different kind of bloke to clean-cut Hugh.

“She likes the bad boys!” he laughed on air.

Of course, Hugh originally looked a bit like a bad boy when the couple first met on the set of Australian prison drama, Corelli, in 1995.

“It’s lucky that I met her on this prison drama [Correlli] where I had tatts and the whole thing,” Hugh said.

Hugh of course also famously sported a rather dodgy mullet for the 90s TV series, which he once again recreated for his role in his latest big movie, Chappie.

Listen to Hugh’s interview above and check out his dodgy mullet below – it’s a wonder that Deb ever gave him a second glance!
