The ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ star -  who has been married to Deborra-Lee Furness since 1996 – has revealed he and Deborra always make time to just be with one another to keep the romance in their relationship alive.

He told America’s OK! magazine: “Make sure you have a date night just the two of you together, without the kids.”

The 41-year-old actor has two adopted children, Oscar, nine, and Ava, four, with his wife – who he met on the set of Australian TV show ‘Correlli’.

Although Hugh will be acting alongside James Bond actor Daniel Craig in play ‘Steady Rain’ – which is running on New York’s famous Broadway theatre district – on Halloween (31.10.09), he will still be making time for his family.

He said: “I’m going to be trick-or-treating. I’ll help them get dressed.”

Hugh has often spoken of how he knew he would marry Deborra-Lee as soon as he saw her on the ‘Correlli’ set in 1995.

He said: “She was beautiful and larger than life. Everyone on set was in love with her. I had a crush on her for ages and started planning my proposal after three months.”

The Los Angeles Galaxy soccer player quashed speculation he has grown a beard out of superstition because his team have reached the play-offs, and has revealed the real reason is because he wants to dress as the mutant Marvel superhero – played by Hugh Jackman in the ‘X-Men’ films – for Halloween.

The 34-year-old sportsman – who has sons Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, 7, and four-year-old Cruz with his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham – said: “Halloween is coming up and I was thinking of Wolverine from ‘X-Men’. It’s not some play-off ritual. I’m just lazy and can’t be bothered to shave. And everybody keeps telling me to cut it and I’m stubborn.”

While David is proud of his beard, he recently topped a poll for having the worst facial hair in showbiz.

Siobhan McDermott – head buyer of feelunique.com, who commissioned the poll – said: “Bad facial hair can be disastrous for even the best looking men.”

Although David’s facial growth has been met with disapproval, he has received support from the Beard Liberation Front.

The group’s organiser Keith Flett said: “He’s got a retro beard, if you look at it, it’s almost like mutton chops. It’s the kind of stuff soccer players had in the 70s. It’s an interesting choice because he could have gone for the designer style beard that is trendy and fashionable.”
