Hugh Jackman is currently residing in London while he shoots his new movie, Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Movie.
And according to New Idea, the Hollywood star, 55, could be making the move permanent.
‘He wants to be closer to his mum and sister who are based there – and possibly to find love again,’ an insider told the publication.
The source said Jackman, who holds dual British and Australian citizenships, plans to focus more on charitable endeavours with someone by his side.
‘He really wants to find somebody who can help him make the world a better place and put the good will he’s earned after 25 years in Hollywood to work for something more than his personal stardom,’ the source said.
‘He is committed to branching outside of his entertainment industry bubble to find somebody he can spend the rest of his life with, and who can help him put his fortune to good use around the world,’ they continued.
Born in Sydney to British parents, the Oscar nominated actor spent a gap year in 1987 working in the UK as a Physical Education teacher.
In 1998 he starred as Curly in the Royal National Theatre’s production of Oklahoma! in London’s West End.
