Hugh Jackman has spent decades building one of the cleanest images in Hollywood. He is known for being genuinely kind, deeply charitable, and remarkably grounded for someone of his fame. But one long-standing choice in his personal life quietly sits at odds with that image, and it is one that very few people have questioned him about.
Since 1991, as GQ reports, Jackman has been a member of the School of Economic Science (SES), also known as the School of Practical Philosophy. In a 2010 interview with GQ Australia, he described it as the spiritual centre of his life: “The spiritual pillar for me has become the School of Practical Philosophy. I’m a regular attendee there and I suppose that has become my church.” He has said he attends classes every week, wherever he is in the world, and meditates twice a day as part of its teachings.
