It may be a difficult time in Hugh Jackman's life amid his unexpected separation from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, but he is trucking along with the support of his fans.
The Wolverine actor and his wife announced earlier this month that they were separating "to pursue our individual growth."
Though they have yet to confirm whether they are headed for divorce, they are taking some time to themselves, and the father-of-two shared a candid update over the weekend while he lays low.
Hugh took to Instagram Sunday and shared a slew of photos, including some smiling selfies, from a walk in nature surrounded by nothing but towering trees and even some forest animals.
In the first snap, he is sporting his usual salt and pepper beard with a smile on his face, plus an orange hoodie, a windbreaker and a navy cap, posing by a mellow creek.
Sharing more photos from his rainy-day hike, he included more selfies with the green forest as a background, a fallen log covered by moss and mushrooms, plus even a sweet deer sighting.
"Sunday morning walk in the rain," Hugh wrote in his caption, adding: "Heaven (and muddy)!"

His fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post and send some encouraging comments, with one follower of his writing: "Have a good week Hugh," alongside a red heart emoji, as others added: "Happy Sunday Hugh," and: "Even if it rains, you Hugh have the sun in your heart," as well as: "A walk in nature walks the soul back home. Hope you enjoyed it."

The two announced their split with a statement to People on September 15, which read: "We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth."
