Hugh Jackman defends his friendship with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner: ‘We don't talk politics'
Hugh Jackman's 50th birthday party made news for all the wrong reasons. The star's guest list caused quite a stir when people noticed that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were invited to the birthday bash.
ABC News reports that Jackman jumped to the defense of his "longtime friends" when he appeared on the talk show 'The View' on Tuesday. Speaking about the friendship and how he's known the couple for 15 years, he said, “People question, ‘Really?’ And I’m kinda like, 'OK, let’s say your friends of 15 years’ father became president. Whether you agree with the politics or not, do you just dump your friends?”. “I’m like, 'no, no you don’t.' I don’t understand that.”
The star continued, talking about Ivanka's kindness when she took the effort to write his late mother-in-law a handwritten letter in honor of her winning the Order of Australia medal for her charity work. “They’ve always been so kind and generous,” he added.
