Hugh Jackman's one-man NYC show takes a hit at the box office amid Deborra-Lee Furness divorce
The 56-year-old actor is currently starring in 'Hugh's From New York with Love' at NYC's Radio City Music Hall — but it seems the demand isn't quite matching the supply.
Fans can snag seats for Friday's performance starting at just $98, while Saturday's matinee tickets are available for as low as $60.

Premium seats go for $212 — a bargain compared to Paul Simon's nearby show at the Beacon Theatre, where tickets are fetching up to $680.
It's reported that Jackman was 'struggling' to sell tickets for the show, which debuted on Broadway in January, according to the Daily Mail.
The 'Greatest Showman' actor's one-man show is slated for eight more nights in July, August, September and October.
The Post has reached out to Radio City Music Hall and Jackman's reps for comment.
Reports of slow ticket sales come just weeks after Deborra-Lee Furness, Jackman's wife of 28 years, filed for divorce from the actor following a year-long separation.

Furness broke her silence on the split last month, seemingly alluding to Jackman's alleged affair with his Broadway co-star Sutton Foster.
'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' Furness said.
'It's a profound wound that cuts deep. However I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.'
The Australian actress added, 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.'
'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom,' she said, sharing that 'one thing' she's learned is that 'none of this is personal.'

'We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random,' she went on.
'We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves…I remain grateful.'

Fantastic Four's Ioan Gruffudd Explains Deleted Wolverine Scene
Ioan Gruffudd recently spoke about why the scene in which his character Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic transforms into Wolverine was cut from director Tim Story's Fantastic Four. Notably, Gruffudd portrayed Reed in two movies, the aforementioned 2005 feature and 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. When the first movie came out, Hugh Jackman had already appeared as James 'Logan' Howlett / Wolverine in the first two X-Men movies. Ioan Gruffudd on why Hugh Jackman Wolverine imitation scene was cut Ioan Gruffudd gave an extensive interview to Vulture about his experience of playing Reed Richards. When asked about the Fantastic Four deleted scene featuring Reed turning into Wolverine, the actor responded, 'I don't know why that didn't make it into the film. Paying homage to the great Hugh Jackman was quite a thrill because I absolutely love him as an actor and his Wolverine.' He added that he was 'glad that it has a chance to exist somewhere.' In the scene in question, Gruffudd's Reed and Jessica Alba's Sue Storm / Invisible Woman discuss their romantic history. Julian McMahon's Victor von Doom / Doctor Doom comes up during the conversation, but Sue makes it clear there was never anything between them. This prompts Reed to jokingly say that he thought Sue wanted someone 'stronger' and to turn into Jackson's Wolverine. The Harrow star explained how that scene was shot, revealing he and Alba weren't in the same place when it was filmed. He said, 'That was a reshoot, and I was in Vancouver on a soundstage and Jessica was in New York, so we weren't actually together, but we look perfectly in sync.' The interviewer then pointed out that Gruffudd could be proud of being the only actor to play both Mister Fantastic and Wolverine. The Bad Boys: Ride or Die actor laughed and replied, 'For a brief second, yes. That's a good pub-quiz question.' Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer are available for streaming on Disney+. Originally reported by Tamal Kundu on SuperHeroHype.

Moment Dog Admits Why She Really Loves Owner Seen by 20 Million: 'Honest'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dog owner accused her pet of only using her to get snacks, and was shocked at the dog's hilarious response. Erin Lynne Anderson, who posts to TikTok under the username @erinlynneandersonnn, is the owner of Australian shepherd Reya, who like many dogs, will use everything she has to beg for treats and snacks. And recently, when Reya was pushing her face up against Anderson while she was eating, her owner had had enough. In a video boasting more than 5 million likes, Anderson accuses her dog: "You don't even love me, you just want my snacks." And right at that moment, Reya decides to smile brightly and nod her head up and down, as though understanding Anderson and completely agreeing. The short video cuts off just as Anderson bursts out laughing. Since being posted on July 11, it's been viewed a whopping 23 million times. One commenter declared this was "proof dogs can understand you," as another joked Reya was saying: "Yeah, now give it." "It's the smile and wink together that gets me," another laughed, while one joked: "Good, I'm glad we're on the same page." And as one user put it: "At least she's honest." Dozens of commenters compared Reya's white face, pink nose and fluffy ears to the dragon Falkor of The Neverending Story, with one comment saying she looked just like the character, racking up 16,000 likes of its own. The video does make it seem like Reya completely heard and understood Anderson's accusation. But as unlikely as this would already be, Reya is deaf, and unless she picked up incredibly lip-reading skills, it's likely it was just a brilliantly coincidental moment caught on camera. However, as one commenter suggested "your dog may not be deaf after all," Anderson responded, admitting: "Sometimes I think she's been messing with me for the past three years and she just ignores me."

TikTok @erinlynneandersonnn Dogs and language is a topic long studied by researchers: in a 2024 study by researchers at Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary, using non-invasive brain scans, it was found that dogs activate a memory of an object when they hear their name. The study involved 18 dog owners saying words they knew their dog understood, sometimes showing their dog a matching toy while saying its name, and sometimes showing a completely different toy. Researchers found that the dogs' brain recordings gave different patterns when they were presented with an object that matched the word, suggesting dogs can associate words with certain objects.
