Actor Hugh Jackman, who will celebrate 20 years of marriage with his wife Deborra-Lee Furness this April, says their marital bond keeps getting "better and better".

"She's the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I'm kind of really grateful that I met before anything kind of happened because everything that's happened in my career and on screen, off screen we've always done it together," Jackman said on the "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", reports etonline.com.

The "Wolverine" star also revealed how he met Furness.

"That was my first job, where I met her. She was the star I had this major crush on her. Everyone did," the 47-year-old explained.

"The whole crew had a crush on her and I was so embarrassed that I didn't talk to her for about a week," he added.
