'I'm really proud of everything I've done,' he told The Fix.
'But I want to just take a little time to reflect, to just reassess and see where I head from here.'
Known for his unrelenting workaholism and dedication to spending time with fans, the interviewer struggled to even think of what Hugh would do with 'spare time.'
'What does Hugh Jackman do with his spare time? Are you binging junk food and watching TV, or what happens?' she asked.
An excited smile swept across his face, as he thought about having to do nothing for the first time in years.
'I'll tell you tomorrow!' he beamed, 'It [unemployment] starts tomorrow.'
'Um, I love to read and I love the outdoors and I'm probably a quieter person than you'd think,' he reflected.
Continuing to list of the possibilities, he added: 'I like to cook I like the theatre, what else do I love? I like sport...'
