Hugh Jackman recently left his fans scratching their heads with an enigmatic series of posts on Instagram. 

At 55, Hugh shared two close-up photographs of himself and a fleeting one-second clip showcasing a floor, sparking a wave of curiosity and amusement among his followers.

One image captured Hugh with his eyes serenely closed, seemingly lost in thought in a public space.

 Accompanying this photo was a simple yet intriguing caption: "More!" This cryptic message, paired with the randomness of the posts, led to an outpouring of reactions from his audience. 

Fans praised Hugh's candid and spontaneous social media presence, with one admirer expressing admiration for his authentic sharing style, saying, "I absolutely adore how u just post whatever the mood is, that's why I look up to sm." Another fan noted the shift in Hugh's content, describing it as "so random but it's a fun random so keep it up."

Comments ranged from humorous observations, likening Hugh's late-night musings to their own galleries filled with candid snaps and random videos, to concerns for his well-being, with a straightforward "Are you ok?"

This unexpected turn in Hugh's social media activity comes in the wake of his announcement last year regarding the end of his 27-year marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness. 

The couple, who met on the set of Correlli in 1995 and married the following year, publicly shared their decision to separate in pursuit of personal growth.

 "Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth," they shared, underscoring the mutual respect and affection that continues to guide them.
