Five-year-old Ava beat the heat today by taking a dip with a friend in a small pool outside of her New York City apartment (June 18). Don’t worry, dad Hugh Jackman was close by – in fact, he was snapping pics of the whole thing!
Earlier this month we spotted this sweet father-daughter pair, along with mom Deborra Lee Furness, scooting through the city streets on their way to school in the morning.
The handsome Wolverine star, who also has 11-year-old son Oscar, is definitely one of our favorite famous dads – hope he has a great Father’s Day tomorrow!

















So the paps are taking pictures of them while they’re they’re on private property outside someone’s home? And you’re posting them here? That really seems to be crossing an inappropriate line. It’s one thing to photograph them when they’re in public, but that seems to not be the case here, and it’s really not cool to post these pictures.
Thanks for the comment, Anonymous. I just wanted to clarify that it’s not a backyard or apartment complex pool. It seems to be a tiny decorative/reflecting pool near their NYC apartment – Ava decided to jump in for a swim!
Hugh Jackman seems like such a normal dad considering he is a celebrity. I don’t think I have ever seen a nanny in any of the photos that are posted when he is out with his daughter or son. In addition, his kids seems to dress like ‘kids’, play clothes and everything! It seems so weird to me that a lot of the celebs have a nanny walking 2 feet behind them when they take their kids for an ice cream cone!
The Jackman kids always seem so happy!
