Newly-single Hugh Jackman cuts a casual figure as he chats on the phone during a walk in New York days before his 55th birthday
Hugh Jackman has faced increased scrutiny of his private life since announcing his divorce from Deborah-Lee Furness.
And the actor, 54, seemed to be taking it in his stride on Tuesday.
Hugh, who is preparing to reprise his role as Wolverine, was seen talking on the phone while in New York.
The X-Men actor looked unfazed by the excess attention as he cut a modest figure as he went about his day.
Hugh kept his look casual, opting for a pair of blue jeans and a black turtleneck, which covered his muscular frame.

The actor completed his look with a low hat, aviator sunglasses and trainers. He carried a protein shaker in one hand.
It comes just days before his 55th birthday on October 12.
Hugh has been spending time with friends recently, including Australian singer Betty Wu, 31.
The pair caught up last week when Hugh visited Broadway to watch Betty perform in the musical Hadestown and even posed hand-in-hand with the singer backstage.

Hugh even shared a cute group selfie with his A-list pals as they cheered in the stands.
