'Just a "normal" Saturday night in NYC!!! @ufc fight night with the legendary Madonna,' Hugh captioned a photo he shared on Instagram.

Sporting his trademark beard, the Hollywood star put his arm around the pop princess as the pair flashed broad smiles while posing for a selfie.

With a full face of makeup, Madonna let her signature blonde tresses cascade over her slender shoulders in loose curls.

Meanwhile, Hugh's illustrious acting career is showing no signs of slowing down.

He confirmed he would play Wolverine for the last time in his upcoming film, Logan 3, which is set for release in March next year.

But as the famed actor prepares to farewell his most-loved character, his wife of 20 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, said he'll be keeping the costume.

'We'll bring it out at Halloween, even when he's 70', she joked with 2Day FM's Rove and Sam.

'We'll dress him up and send him out.'

Logan 3 will hit cinemas in Australia in March 2017.
