HUGH'S SWEET PROMISE - 'I'LL PROTECT YOU DEB!'

Onlookers say the actor was playing bodyguard during a recent couple's outing in London

When Hugh Jackman arrived at the VIP tent in Hyde Park, London, last month to watch Pink live in concert, it was a case of "Hugh who?" as all eyes were on his cheekbone-chiselled wife Deborra-lee Furness.

The 54-year-old Wolverine legend looked proud as punch escorting his spouse of almost three decades, forming a covetous circle around her, as they battled through partygoers at the British Summer Time festival.

LEADING LADY

One onlooker, who was there when Hugh and Deb, 67, arrived, exclusively tells Woman's Day, "Photos don't do justice to her. Deb is a remarkably beautiful woman. She was turning heads everywhere. In real life, Hugh looks kind of dowdy compared to her. She was glowing."

No wonder Hugh was being super attentive to Deb, with the insider revealing that he never left her side.

"He was so protective, always leaning in to listen to her every word and his eyes were constantly checking the perimeter for anyone getting too close to her. She's his queen and rightly so. She's absolutely lovely, so friendly and chatty."
